Using Your Ice Maker

In order to obtain the best possible results from your ice maker, you must operate it properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

Understanding how your ice maker works

1.Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected. This produces a sheet of ice with a low mineral content.

NOTE: The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, water may need to be filtered or treated. See “Filtering and treating water” on page 14.

2.When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual cubes.

3.The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.

4.Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

5.Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the ice maker shuts off automati- cally and restarts when more ice is needed.
