3. The water containing the rejected minerals is drained
after each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making
cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the
ice maker shuts off automatically and restarts when
more ice is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated and
some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies
with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so
will the amount of ice produced and stored. This means
that higher operating temperatures result in reduced ice
production.
Setting the Controls
1. To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.
2. To stop ice maker operation, select OFF.
NOTE: The CLEAN setting is used whenever solutions are
circulated through the ice maker for cleaning. Only the
water pump and compressor operate at this setting. See
the “Cleaning the Ice Maker System” section.
CARING FOR YOUR
ICE MAKER
Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it
operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature
failure of system components.
Both the ice making system and the air cooled condenser
need to be cleaned regularly.
The minerals rejected from the circulating water during the
freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in
the water system which prevents a rapid release of the ice
from the freezing plate.
Clean the ice and water system periodically to remove
mineral scale buildup. Frequency of cleaning depends on
water hardness. With hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal. [4 to
5 grains/liter]), cleaning may be required as frequently as
every 6 months.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm
water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular
use of a good household appliance cleaner and wax will
help protect the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on
enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
