Using your ice maker

How the ice maker works...

1.Water is constantly circulated over a freez- ing plate. As the water freezes into ice the min- erals in the water are rejected. This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low mineral content

2.When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is released and slides on to 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.

bin is full the ice maker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is needed.

Setting the controls...

1. Select ice thickness. The ice maker has

been pre-set to produce ice approximately Yz” thick, while operating in a room ambient of 70°F (21°C).

Operation in different ambient temperatures may require readjusting the control toward “THICK”or “THIN;’

Best operation will be obtained with ice Yz”to 5/s” thick.

If operating in a warm room ambient (above 90°F [32”C]) DO NOT set control to maximum thickness or the unit may malfunction.
