S U B - Z E R O M O D E L S 3 1 5 I A N D 3 1 5 I P O P E R AT I O N ICE P RO D U C T I O N Ice production has two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. One freeze cycle and one harvest cycle will yield a batch of eight ice cubes. The freeze cycle occurs when water is sprayed against the freezing surface. The harvest cycle occurs when the ice is released and water enters the ice maker. A complete cycle takes about 30 minutes.
