OPERATION Final Check List before Operation 1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the ice maker? 2. Did you clean the ice storage bin? We recommend cleaning the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. 3. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to electricity, water supply and water drainage? 4. Is the ice maker level? 5.
How the machine makes ice There are two distinct cycles: Freeze and Harvest. Freezing: During the freezing cycle, the compressor pumps refrigerant, the fan motor blows air and the water pump circulates water. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the freezing cycle and begins the harvest cycle. Harvest: During the harvest cycle, the compressor is still operates, but the water pump stops. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off. (EXCEPTION: Cleaning of ice-making system) 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.
CAUTION The ice maker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been left unused for a long time. Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, performance and life expectancy of the ice maker. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or there are other special considerations.
