_UOI_S
When vou fi*st start your icemaker, the water
reservoir will fill and the s):stem will rinse itself
heft)re starting to make ice. The
rinsing
process takes about five ininutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the
icemaker will cycle at preset temperatures.
The ice level sensor located in the ice storage
bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT
• If the water supply to the icemaker is
turned ott, be sm'e to set the icemaker
control to OFF. Drain the water reservoir
and leave the icemaker door open to allow
it to dry completely.
• Every time the icemaker is turned off, you
MUST clem_ the icemaker system with Nickel
Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. See Care and
Cleaning---Icemaher system section for i_lructions.
• The icemaker is designed to make clear ice
fl'om the
majority
of water som'ces on a daily
basis. If vour results are unsatistactory, yore"
water may need to be filtered or treated.
Making Ice
1. XA'ater is constantly circulated over a fl'eezing
plate. As the water fl'eezes into ice, the
minerals in the water are rejected. This
produces a clear sheet of ice with a low
mineral content.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the
ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter
grid. The grid divides the sheet into
individual cubes.
3. The water
containing
the rejected minerals
is drained atter each fl'eezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine fin" the next
ice making cycle.
5. Cubes thll into the storage bin. When
the bin is full, the icemaker shuts off
automatically and restarts when more ice
is needed. The ice bin is not refl'igerated
and some melting will occur. The aIllO/Int
of melting varies with room temperatm'e.
NOTE: As the room and water teml)eratures
w_ry; so will the amotmt of ice produced and
stored. This means that higher operating
temperatures result in reduced ice production.
