and water varies, so will the
amount of Ice produced. Hrgher
operating temperatures will result
in less ice made To make the

How your ice
maker works:
When the ice maker is turned
to “ON”:
- Compressor and condenser fans
run
l
Water pump crrculates water
- Cutter grad becomes worm to
touch.
When the ice slab reaches the
desired thickness:
. Harvest cycle begins (Normal
harvest cycle takes 60 to 120
seconds.)
l
Evaporator thermostat IS
satisfied.
. Compressor keeps running. but
the condenser fan will stop
turning or turn very slowly
. Water pump stops
. Hot
QOS
solenoid and the water
inlet valve open.
. Excess water IS flushed out of the
drain pan.
. Cutter grid remalns worm to
touch.
After the slab is released:
* Cycle begins oQaIn.
l
Cuthng process begins
When the storage bin is filled:
l
Bin thermostat opens.
. Cutter grid remains on.
Things to
remember
l
The ice maker will automatically
continue to harvest Ice until the
storage bin IS full The Ice maker
wrll shut down when the ice I” the
storage bin touches the bin
thermostat well. It will begin
harvesting ice agoln when Ice IS
removed from the brn.
l
The storage bin is not refrigerated
so there will be some melting. This
will vary with the temperature of
the room where the Ice maker is
located
l
The ice maker must have good
ventllatron to work properly. Do
Not block the front of the Ice
maker Keep the front air grille
and condenser clean.
- The water system. Including the
filter screen in the water solenord
valve, needs to be cleaned
perrodrcally for good circulatrOn.
