How the Portable Ice Maker Produces Ice

After the unit is powered on, the ice maker begins with rotating the ice case into a horizontal water fill position under the evaporator rods. The water pump is engaged and fills the ice case with water. Water overflows for a few seconds before the compressor turns on. The compressor then pumps refrigerant and the fan will turn on automatically after the condenser heats up. The unit will be producing bullet shaped ice around the stainless steel evaporator rods. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the freeze cycle and begins the harvest cycle. A valve opens diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator rods. The gas heats the rods, causing the ice cube bullets to slide off the evaporator. The hinged ice case will move out of the way for the formed ice cubes to drop onto the slide and be deposited into the ice bin. The ice case will then resume its horizontal position and be filled with water for the next batch of ice to be made. The ice maker will then produce ice until ice reaches the ice full sensor. The ice bin compartment is insulated, but not refrigerated and the ice in the bin will slowly melt and the water will be reused. Once enough of the ice has melted, the ice maker will automatically start making more ice.

Installing the Water Line

The direct water line can be installed into the ice maker for a continuous flow of water, preventing you from refilling a water tank every time you need more ice.

NOTE: All the required or customized hardware is not provided for installation so it is necessary to hire a professional licensed plumber to complete the installation.

1.Connect the water line to your water source and be sure to tighten the connection to avoid leaking.

2.Hand screw the water line into the water inlet valve on the back of the ice maker.

3.Connect the drainage tube on water outlet valve.

4.Lightly tighten the compression fitting around the water line with an adjustable wrench or similar tool.
