THE

PROCESS BEGINS.
WHEN THE STORAGE BIN IS FILLED,
BIN THERMOSTAT OPENS.
•
• Cutter grid remains on
•
As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the
amount of Ice produced. This means that higher
operating temperatures will result in reduced ice
production.
•
The unit will shut off when Ice in the storage bin
touches the bin thermostat well and will automatical
ly cycle to keep the bin full.
•
The storage bin is not refrigerated and some meltage
will
occur.
This,
too,
varies
with
the
room
temperature.
•
The unit needs good air circulation to perform effi
ciently. Keep the front grill and the condenser clean.
•
The water system, including filter screen in the water
inlet solenoid valve, needs to be cleaned periodically
for good circulation. Instructions are located on the
Inner door panel.
Operating instructions
•
For complete operating information, refer to the Use
and Care Guide.
•
Before starting, wash out interior of cabinet with a
Baking Soda solution (2 tablespoons soda to a quart
of warm water). Rinse thoroughly.
• Make certain the water is turned on.
• Turn switch to the “ON” position.
IMPORTANT:
Allow unit to run for 3 hours before expecting
ice and for 24 hours before trying to set the
