OpERATiON
Your ice maker is unique in forming ice. It uses fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less mineral
content than the water it is produced from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator plate which
gradually freezes the water to produce the ice slab. Mineral deposits are left in the reservoir.
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness determined by the temperature of the evaporator plate, the electronic
control switches to the harvest cycle to harvest the ice. During the harvest cycle, the ice slab falls from the evaporator to the
ice grid cutter. Here, the ice slab is cut into 3/4” squares by the grid cutter’s heated wires. During the harvest cycle, the drain
valve will remain open for 45 seconds to drain the reservoir of remaining deposits. After that, the water valve will open for
two (2) minutes providing two (2) quarts of water to the reservoir for the next production cycle.
The ice maker will keep producing ice until the ice maker’s bin is full and will restart automatically when ice needs to be
replenished in the bin.
