ICEMAKER

Ice Production

The icemaker comes out of the factory defaulted to off. To turn the icemaker on, press the MENU key and
continue pressing the key until the ICE option has been scrolled to.
Press the UP and DOWN keys to turn the icemaker on or off. When the cubes are frozen, the icemaker motor
will turn the ice cube tray and twist the tray causing the ice cubes to dislodge and fall out of the tray. The tray
will then return to its normal position and refill with water.
0
Note: If the FC is above 14 F or the ice bin is full, or has been removed, or fitted the wrong way around,
the icemaker will not operate.

Information About The Icemaker

0
The temperature of the FC needs to reach 14 F before the icemaker commences to operate.
When first switched on, the icemaker carries out a harvest with no water in the ice tray.
Once the ice tray resumes its normal position, the water will fill the tray. At this stage it will calculate the
amount of time taken to do a cycle and then flips. After this point it will run normally calculating the amount of
time for each batch. The rate of production will depend on the temperature of the freezer and will not operate
0
if the temperature is above 14 F.
0
NOTE: If the temperature is above 14 F, the ice/water tray will sit in this position and will not turn to dispense.
The cubes will be ejected from the mould into the ice bin. It is suggested that the ice cubes are levelled with
the ice scoop occasionally for maximum storage.
The large and small freezer bins can be rotated if a large amount of ice is required.

Ice Bin Full Sequence

When the ice bin is full, the icemaker starts a sequence of testing to ensure ice harvest can continue. If the
icemaker senses the bin is full, the motor resumes its normal position. Twenty minutes later, the testing
sequence commences until such time as the ice level is reduced by usage. The testing sequence happens
every 20 minutes.
