ICE PRODUCTION

ALL MODELS

The level of ice in the ice containers is controlled by an ice level arm. When the containers are filled with ice the ice level arm senses the level and shuts down the icemaker As ice is used, the level drops and the level arm signals the icemaker to restore ice production.

These icemakers are designed to produce an adequate supply of ice for normal family consumption. The length of time between ice harvest cycles will vary depending on load condi· tions, door openings and ambient room temperatures. On the average, you can expect a harvest of ice every 2 hours.

If ice is not used regularly it will tend to fuse together To avoid this, empty the ice container periodically.

AUTOMATIC

DEFROST

For your convenience your Sub- Zero unit is equipped with an auto- matic defrost system. The refrigerator section will defrost

during each off cycle of the refrig- erator. The freezer section is con- trolled by a timer which defrosts as needed.

MASTER POWER

SWITCH

MODEL 590

The Model 590 featu res a Master Power Switch. This switch, which is located behind the top grille, will turn off all electrical power to the equipment. See Figure 19. This eliminates having to shut power off at the circuit breaker or having to pull the power plug from the wall receptacle. This switch can be used for either shutting down the equipment for servicing or during extended vacations.

In order to access this switch, the front inner grille panel assembly must be first removed (refer to panellized grille removal instruc- tions on Page 14, Figure 23).

SOUNDS

Certain noises may be evident with the normal operation of the unit. Surrounding acoustics like walls, floors and cabinets may affect the sound level of your unit.

A gurgling sound or running water sou nd may be evident as the refri- gerant circulates through the tubing.

In Model 590, the ice dispenser valve within the refrigerator door snaps closed 5 seconds after either the water or ice dispenser switch is released.

During the icemaker cycle you may hear the sound of ice dropping into the container or of the solenoid valve while refilling the icemaker with water.

During the freezer defrost you may hear crackling and/or sizzling as the heat from the defrost element clears the frost from the freezer coil and water runs into the defrost water pan.

While the compressors are in operation a slight hum may be evident. During the startup and shutdown of the compressor, some vibration may occur lasting only a few seconds.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

!ACAUTION I

We recommend for main- tenance and cleaning, that the circuit breaker or master power switch if applicable to the re- frigerator be shut off and pro- tective gloves (when cleaning the condenser) be worn.

CONDENSER:To insure proper performance, the cleaning of your unit'scondenser is required. This should be performed every 3 to 6 months under normal use. To clean, remove grille. See page 14.
