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 automatically and restarts when more ice is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated and some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.
Setting the Controls
1.To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.
2.To stop ice maker operation, select OFF.
NOTE: The CLEAN setting is used whenever solutions are circulated through the ice maker for cleaning. Only the water pump and compressor operate at this setting. See the “Cleaning the Ice Maker System” section.
CARING FOR YOUR
ICE MAKER
Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature failure of system components.
Both the ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly.
The minerals rejected from the circulating water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system which prevents a rapid release of the ice from the freezing plate.
Clean the ice and water system periodically to remove mineral scale buildup. Frequency of cleaning depends on water hardness. With hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal. [4 to 5 grains/liter]), cleaning may be required as frequently as every 6 months.
Cleaning ExteriorSurfaces
Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good household appliance cleaner and wax will help protect the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
