Using Your Ice Maker
The ice maker is extremely simple to use, just turn the ice
maker control knob to the on position.The Model 315 will
automatically begin to freeze ice and will continue to do so
until the bin is full.
Use the scoop to remove ice and place the ice scoop in the
holder provided (do not leave the scoop on the ice, as it
will gradually disappear into the ice).
What to Expect from Your Ice
Maker
The Model 315 will release a batch of 8 ice cubes about
every 30 minutes. At the same time the cubes fall into the
storage bin, water will be entering the ice maker and
draining out.
ICE: The ice cubes are tapered cylinders about 1-1/4" in
diameter at the widest end; taper down to 1-inch wide at
the top; and are 1-1/8" high.When the ice maker is adjust-
ed properly, there should be a 1/4" indent in the base of
the cube. The ice will appear wet when fresh, this is nor-
mal. It may also develop frost on the outside and look
cloudy, this is also normal (the frost will disappear when
liquid is poured over the ice).
STORAGE: All restaurant-type ice makers, such as the
Model 315, operate on this principal:The ice storage bin is
not refrigerated; instead it’s heavily insulated, much like a
picnic cooler or ice chest. If the ice bin were to be refriger-
ated, the ice would freeze together into one very large
cluster of ice, and would begin to evaporate. This would
yield ice that is very poor in quality, and difficult to remove
from the ice maker.
The Model 315 will continue to operate until ice builds up
high enough to contact the bin thermostat sensor tube,
then it will shut off. Models with a drain pump will occa-
sionally pump out melt water when the ice maker is off.
The pump will only be on for a few seconds.
RUN TIME: The amount of time the Model 315 will run to
replace melted ice is about 2 hours per day.The amount of
time the ice maker will run to replace ice removed is
dependent upon how much is removed, how clean the ice
maker is, and how hot the air and water supplied to the ice
maker are.An empty ice maker will usually take about 24-
36 hours to re-fill.
