5
ings to Remember
l Water enters only during the defrost cycle.
Therefore the first cycle will be completed
without water in the system.
l As the room and water temperatures vary,
so will the amount of ice produced. This
means that higher operating temperatures
will result in reduced ice production.
l The unit will shut off when ice in the
storage bin touches the bin thermostat
well and will automatically cycle to keep
the bin full.
l The storage bin is not refrigerated and
some melting will occur. This also varies
with the room temperature.
l The unit needs good air circulation to
perform efficiently. Keep the front grille and
the condenser clean.
l The water system, including filter screen in
the water inlet solenoid valve, needs to be
cleaned periodically for good circulation.
Instructions are located on the inner
