ICE MAKING
Your SEAFROST holdover plate may be equipped with vertical ice trays. The ice trays
are held in contact with the plate by a stainless steel rod.
Fill the vertical trays with water and hang them on the face of the plate. Try to get some
water between the tray and the plate surface to increase the thermal contact (increasing
freezing ability).
HARVESTING ICE
Plan to wait some time after the trays are frozen for them to thaw in a sink or away from
the plate in the refrigerator. When the outside surface is wet, invert the tray and let the
ice slide out.
STORAGE OF ICE CUBES
After ice has been made and harvested, store it in resealable plastic bags in the
refrigerator or if so equipped in the freezer. Ice trays left in contact with the plate will
melt rapidly if the plate goes above freezing.
DEFROSTING
It is important to defrost the holdover plate regularly; this will maximize the efficiency of
the system and ice making performance. It is not necessary to turn off the system to
defrost. Scrape off any frost with a piece of wood or galley utensil. A noticeable drop in
the cabinet temperature will occur.
BAG STYLE ICE MAKING
If your SEA FROST system is not equipped with the vertical tray kit, you can still make
ice. One method is to use zip-lock bags. When filled with water a clip binder or a clamp
of your own invention can hold the bag in contact with the plate.
