Operating Method
1. Switch on the Power switch on the right side
panel. The light will be on. The ice
maker will start working automatically
and feeding water.
2. After the first feeding of the water, the
machine will automatically go to the ice
making stage, and the sound of water
spraying will be heard.
3. Ice will be harvested to the ice storage
bin. When the storage bin is filled to the
point that the ice-full sensor is covered,
the ice maker will automatically stop
working. The machine will
restart making ice once the
storage bin is less than full.
than full.
4. Excess water will flow through the drain outlet at the back of the machine and empty into
the floor drain.
IMPORTANT:
• Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage,
the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
• Never turn the water supply tap off when the icemaker is working.
How the Machine Makes Ice
There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. During the freeze cycle, water is sprayed
against the evaporator surface. In the harvest cycle, the ice is released and water enters the
machine. A complete cycle takes about 20 minutes, but is dependent on temperature and
operating conditions.
Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan motor
is blowing air, and the water pump is circulating water. When the batch of ice has been
fully formed, the ice maker stops the freeze cycle and begins to harvest the
ice.
