2.Operation - How it works
Water flows from the potable water source through the water supply line shut-off valve,
enters at the water inlet fitting and into the water reservoir. The water reservoir functions to
maintain a constant water level inside the freezer assembly. Water from the water reservoir
enters at the bottom of the freezer. Heat is removed by the refrigeration process and ice forms
inside the freezer.
A stainless steel auger, located inside the freezer, is direct-driven by the gear motor, and the
rotating auger carries the ice upward to the end of the auger, where excess water is pressed
out of the ice, as the ice is extruded and broken into cubelet ice (compressed ice) and then
pushed out into the storage bin.
Moving the power switch on the bottom left of the middle front panel, to the “ON” position
starts the automatic and continuous icemaking process. When the ice storage bin is filled
with ice, the bin control switch will shut off the icemaking process. As the ice is removed from
the storage bin, the bin control switch resets automatically and restarts the icemaking
process.
The agitator in the storage bin keeps the ice from clustering so that the ice can move easily
through the spout.
