How The Ice Maker Works
l Compressor runs
. Condenser fan runs
l Water pump runs (circulates water)
l Cutter grid is warm to touch
WHEN THE DESIRED ICE SLAB THICK-
NESS IS REACHED, THE HARVEST CYCLE
BEGINS AND THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS:
l Evaporator thermostat is satisfied
. Compressor keeps running
l Condenser fan stops or turns very slowly
l Water pump stops
l Hot gas solenoid opens
l Water inlet valve opens
l Excess water is flushed out of the drain pan
l Cutter grid is warm to the touch
NOTE: Normal harvest cycle takes 1 to
2 minutes.
MACHINE RESUMES FREEZING AFTER
SLAB IS RELEASED FROM EVAPORATOR
AND THE CUlTING PROCESS BEGINS.
WHEN THE STORAGE BIN IS FILLED, BIN
THERMOSTAT OPENS.
l Cutter grid remains on
Things 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.
