OPERATION, CARE, AND CLEANING OF YOUR ICE MACHINE

Operation (Turning on the ice machine)

Once the drain and water supply are connected, and the
ice machine is in place and leveled, plug in the service
cord. Place the switch to the "ON" position to turn on the
ice machine. The switch is located in the front grille, see
Figure 15 for location.

The Ice Making Process

Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with fraction-
al freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less
mineral content than the water it is produced from. This is
accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator
plate (see Figure 14) which gradually freezes the water to
produce the ice slab. Mineral deposits are left in the reser-
voir.
Figure 14
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice
sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see Figure
16). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid cut-
ter's heated wires (see Figure 17). The water containing
the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.
Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making
cycle.

The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice
machine's bin is full and will restart automatically when
ice needs to be replenished in the bin. The ice bin is not
refrigerated, and some melting will occur. Allow your ice
machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice
machine's bin.
Make sure the distributor
tubing is not in the path
of the ice slab.
