HOW YOUR ICE MAKER WORKS
When you first start your ice maker, the water
pan will fill and the system will rinse itself
before starting to make ice. This rinsing process
takes about 5 minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice
maker will cycle at preset temperatures. The ice
level sensor located in the ice storage bin will
monitor the ice levels.
1. Water is constantly circulated over a
freezing plate. As the water freezes into ice,
the minerals in the water are expelled. This
produces a sheet of ice with 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 eliminated
minerals is drained after each freezing
cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next
ice-making cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When
the bin is full, the ice maker shuts off
automatically and restarts when more ice
is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated,
so some melting will occur. The amount of
melting varies with the room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water
temperatures vary, so will the amount of
ice produced and stored. This means that
higher operating temperatures will result in
reduced ice production.
