How the Machine Uses the Water
The ice maker begins with a fixed
charge of water that is contained in
the water trough. As the water flows
to the freezing evaporator surface,
the portion of water that does not
contain mineral impurities will freeze
and stick to the ice cube molds. The
water containing impurities falls
back into the water trough. During
the ice-making process, fresh water
enters the water trough continu-
ously as the water from the trough
freezes continuously on the evapo-
rator.
Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are unfamiliar to you. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can amplify the sounds. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be
causing them.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items
stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises.
•
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
•
Running water may make a splashing sound.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
•
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice
storage bin.
Preparing the Ice Maker for Long Storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it
will be necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3. Shut off the electric supply at main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove remaining ice and water. Dry it.
5. Connect the drain hose to drain out water completely, then plug up the drain
outlet after finishing.
6. Pull off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
7. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
8. Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
•
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug
