Operating Instructions
Ice maker
How your
ice maker
works
When you first start your ice maker, the water
will flow through the filter and fill the reservoir.
The system will rinse itself before starting to
make ice. The rinsing process takes about five
minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice
maker will cycle on and off as needed.
The ice level sensor located in the ice storage
bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT
If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off,
be sure to set the ice maker control to
OFF. Drain the water reservoir and leave
the ice maker door open to allow it to dry
completely.
Making Ice
1. Water is constantly circulated over a
freezing plate. As the water freezes into ice,
the minerals in the water are rejected. This
produces a clear sheet of ice with a low
mineral content.
 When the desired thickness is reached, the
ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter
grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual
cubes.
3. The water containing the rejected minerals
is drained after each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine and is filtered
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.
