Ice Maker Operation - AGA marvel MA15C*S Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

The Ice Making Process
Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with
fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and
has less dissolved solids than the water it is produced
from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold
evaporator plate (see Figure 16) which gradually freezes
the water to produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes first,
leaving the dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water
to provide clear ice.

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
cutter's heated wires (see Figure 19). The water containing
the dissolved minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.
Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making
cycle.
