Using Your Ice Maker
How the ice maker works
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 sheet of ice with a low mineral
content.
NOTE: The ice maker is designed to make
clear ice from the majority of water sources on
a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfactory,
water may need to be filtered or treated. See
“Filtering and treating water" on page 12.

2. 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 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.
