3.3 Sequence of Operation
• Start up: Switch on the power at the control panel after the unit has been
connected to the power and the water supply. The unit will start and
function automatically if no problem is present. (Note: Please turn off the
power supply in case of thunderstorms or a long period of inactivity.)
• Once started, the ice machine will automatically make ice until the bin or
dispenser is full of ice. When ice level drops, the machine will resume
making ice.
• Pre-cooling: The water inlet will automatically turn on after the power has
been switched on before the water pump starts. The water inlet valve
continues to take in water until the water reaches the specified level and
the float valve switches off the water inlet.
• Caution: Do not place anything on top of the ice machine, including the ice
scoop. Debris and moisture from objects on top of the machine can work
their way into the cabinet and cause serious damage. Damage caused by
foreign material is not covered by warranty.
• Ice making: The water pump starts up after pre-cooling for 30 seconds.
Water continuously flows and ice gradually begins to form as a result. The
water float valve will open and close automatically to maintain the proper
water level.
• Ice falling: After reaching the required ice making time, the water pump
shuts down and the drain valve closes within 30 seconds. The water valve
opens. An entire sheet of ice will slide from the evaporator into the storage
refrigerator. This process takes between 1 and 2 minutes. Hands should be
away from the storage refrigerator to avoid the falling ice.
• Noise: The ice machine will make noise when it is in ice making mode. The
compressor, fan motor, and water pump all produce some sound. It is also
normal to hear some crackling just before the harvest cycle begins. In
addition, during the cycle the harvest mechanism may click twice as it
