HOW IT
WORKS
l Compressor runs
l Condenser fan runs
0 Water pump runs (clrculafes waler)
0 Cutler gnd IS warm to touch
WHEN THE DESIRED ICE SLAB
THICKNESS IS REACHED, THE
HARVEST CYCLE BEGINS AND THE
FOLLOWlNG HAPPENS:
Evaporalor thermostal IS Sallshed
Compressor keeps running
Condenser fan slops or turns very slowly
Waler pump slops
HOI gas solenoid opens
Water Intel valve opens
Excess waler IS flushed oul of the drain pan
Cutter grid IS warm lo the touch
NOTE:
Normal herveal cycle takes 60 to 120
seconds.
MACHINE RESUMES FREEZING AFTER
SLAB IS RELEASED FROM
EVAPORATOR AND THE CUlllNG
PROCESS BEGINS.
WHEN THE STORAGE BIN IS FILLED,
BIN THERMOSTAT OPENS.
0 Culler grid remam on

ICE MAKER OPERATION
How it makes Ice:
1. Water IS circulated overa freezlng plate. As the waler
freezes, minerals m the waler are rejected. The absence
of mmerals oroduces a clear sheet of ice.
2. When the desired thickness IS reached, the Ice sheet
is released and slides on lo a culler grid. The grid
diwdes the sheet Into mdwdual cubes
3. The water conlalnmg the rejected minerals IS dramed
oul at the end of each freezlng cycle.
4. Fresh waler then enters the machme for the next Ice
makmg cy
5. Cubes fall Into the storage bin When lhe bin IS full
Ihe ice maker shuls off automabcally and reslarls when
more vce IS needed
