2. OPERATION - How it works
Water flows from a potable water source through the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve,
enters at the water inlet fitting and on to the Water Supply Assembly. The water supply
functions to maintain a constant water level inside the Freezer Assembly. Water from the
water supply enters at the bottom of the Freezer and changes into ice by heat-exchanging
refrigerant from the Condensing Assembly.
A stainless steel Auger 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 ice is extruded and broken into cubelet ice (compressed ice) and
then pushed out into the Ice Storage bin through the Ice Spout.
Turning on the Power Switch on the Control Box starts the automatic and continuous ice
making process. When the Ice Storage Bin is filled with ice, the Bin Control Switch, located
on the top of the Storage Bin, shuts off the icemaking process. As the ice is removed from
the Storage Bin, the Bin Control Switch gets reset automatically and restarts the ice making
process.
Moving the Dispense Mode Switch to the “PORTION” position gives the user a portion-
controlled mode, resulting in dispensing a certain amount of ice (See “10. CONTROLS
AND ADJUSTMENTS”) when the Push Button is pressed. Moving the switch to the “Con-
tinuous” position, gives a continuous dispensing mode, resulting in dispensing ice while the
Push button is being pressed.
An agitator mechanism in the Storage Bin functions to get a smooth ice flow and to prevent
the formation of an ice block.
