How The Ice Maker Works
l Compressor runs
. Condenser fan runs
l Water pump runs (circulates water)
lCutter grid is warm to touch
WHEN THE DESIRED ICE SLAB THICK- NESS IS REACHED, THE HARVEST CYCLE BEGINS AND THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS:
NOTE: Normal harvest cycle takes 1 to 2 minutes.
MACHINE RESUMES FREEZING AFTER SLAB IS RELEASED FROM EVAPORATOR AND THE CUlTING PROCESS BEGINS.
WHEN THE STORAGE BIN IS FILLED, BIN THERMOSTAT OPENS.
l Evaporator thermostat is satisfied
. Compressor keeps running
lCondenser fan stops or turns very slowly l Water pump stops
l Hot gas solenoid opens l Water inlet valve opens
l Excess water is flushed out of the drain pan l Cutter grid is warm to the touch
lCutter grid remains on
Things To Remember

Water enters only during the defrost cycle Therefore the first cycle will be completed without water in the system.
As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the amount of ice produced. This means that higher operating temperatures will result in reduced ice production.
The unit will shut off when ice in the storage bin touches the bin thermostat well and will automatically cycle to keep the bin full.

The storage bin is not refrigerated and some melting will occur. This also varies with the room temperature.
The unit needs good air circulation to perform efficiently. Keep the front grille and the condenser clean.
The water system, including filter screen in the water inlet solenoid valve, needs to be cleaned periodically for good circulation.
