[c] DEFROST CYCLE 1) After the water pan opens, the hot gas valve opens until the defrost completion temperature is reached. 2) If the defrost completion temperature is not reached even when the defrost backup timer counts up (30 minutes after water pan starts to open), the display shows “E2”...

Note: Full drain flush - After a freeze cycle ends, the unit drains all the remaining water in the tank and refills the tank in the next freeze cycle. Partial drain flush (default setting) - After a freeze cycle ends, the unit leaves the remaining water in the tank and adds some water to fill the tank in the next freeze cycle.
[f] FREEZE COMPLETION CONTROL 1) The target integrated values (cube control thermistor temperature and freeze cycle time) are set for freeze completion. * The target integrated freeze completion temperature and time are adjustable in the maintenance mode (see “3. [b] MAINTENANCE MODE”). 2) After the cube control thermistor senses a temperature below 0°C, the cube control thermistor temperature and freeze cycle time are integrated every second.

1) Spring/fall 2) Summer Dimple size 5mm Smaller dimple size -18°C -18°C Freeze cycle time (min) Freeze cycle time (min) 3) Winter Larger dimple size -18°C Freeze cycle time (min) Comparison of the evaporator temperature curves finds that the red-colored area varies in different seasons.
This area corresponds to the energy on ice. Making these different areas into one can equalize the dimple size. To calculate the energy required for ice production, the actual ice production area under 0°C in the evaporator temperature curve is approximated into a triangle. This area can be calculated by Time x temperature ÷...
partial drain flush and full drain flush. * The icemaking water supply time and additional water supply time are adjustable in the maintenance mode (see “3. [b] MAINTENANCE MODE”). 2) After the water pan starts to open, the water valve opens in 20 seconds to supply defrosting water (water pan cleaning water) for a specific time.
[j] BIN CONTROL CYCLE 1) When the bin control switch stays on for more than 10 seconds, the bin control cycle starts and the icemaker stops. After the bin control switch stays off for more than 80 seconds, the bin control cycle ends and the icemaker restarts. (The hot gas valve opens 30 seconds before the icemaker restarts.) 2) After the bin control cycle ends (or when the power supply is turned on), the water pan starts to open (if the icemaker stopped while the water pan was...
[l] 7-SEGMENT LED 1) When the power supply is turned on, the display shows “on” and the automatic icemaking process starts. 2) When the up or down switch is pressed, the display shows the current setting. When the switch is pressed again, the setting becomes adjustable. When the switches are not pressed for 30 seconds, the adjusted setting is determined with “on”...
operates and the display shows “E1”. To reset, press the down switch for 3 seconds. Note: 1. The freeze backup timer and defrost backup timer are available in the water circuit flush mode. As the compressor is off in the flush mode, these timers operates to stop the icemaker in case the freeze or defrost cycle does not complete.
display shows “Pr” in the self-cleaning mode. When the reset switch is pressed, the unit starts operation from the preset process (step 1 in the timing chart). The unit shuts down if the water pan opening error (E3) or water pan closing error (E4) occurs while the display shows some other code than “Pr”.

Note: To prevent the actuator motor defects, *1. Do not set the defrost completion temperature low. The defrost completion temperature is used to ensure the required standby time until the water pan starts to close after ice is released from the evaporator.

*2. Do not make dimple diameter small. The dimple in ice is necessary and important to repeat the freeze and defrost cycles normally. The freeze completion temperature and time are factory adjusted to make the dimple diameter more than 5 mm on average. If dimple in ice is small…...

6. TROUBLESHOOTING [a] INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE ENGINEER 1) Check that the icemaker has been earthed properly. If not, the controller board will not work properly. 2) Do not change wiring and connections, or the controller board will not work properly. 3) Do not touch the electronic devices on the controller board or the back of the controller board.
7. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT The replacement controller board is in common use for all the models. To replace: 1) Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power source. 2) Remove the front cover and control box cover. 3) Disconnect all the connectors from the controller board. Remove the controller board from the control box.

the up and down switches for 15 seconds whilst the code is displayed (in display mode). The machine will stop working and the display will reset to “00” (cleared memory). The controller board will then need to be reprogrammed (select and memorise the correct code for the machine) using steps 7) and 8) above.

1) When the power is turned on or the unit resumes operation after a bin control cycle, the water temperature is considered less than 13°C and the water valve opens for T3 seconds to supply defrosting water. If the water temperature is normal, the water pan opens and immediately starts to close again.
