Using your ice maker
How the ice maker works...
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freez
ing plate. As the water freezes into ice the min
erals in the water are rejected. This produces a
clear sheet of ice with a low mineral oontent.
2.
When the desired thickness is reached, the
ice sheet is released and slides on to 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 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.
