OPERATION Final Check List before Operation 1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the ice machine? 2. Did you clean the ice storage bin? Initialize the cleaning proceedure, this proceedure will last 6 min. and then enter into the icemaking proceedure.
How the Machine Makes Ice Turn the Power switch to the I/ON position. The Power indicator light will light and the machine will au- tomatically go into the ice-making stage. There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. During the freeze cycle, water flows to the evaporator surface. In the harvest cycle, the ice is released. A complete cycle can take 15 to 40 minutes, depending on temperature and operating conditions.
