A
The ice making process
Your ice maker is unique in how it forms
ice with 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 (
A
) 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, the ice sheet is released and
slides onto the grid cutter (
B
). Here, the
ice slab is cut into squares by the grid
cutter’s heated wires (
C
). The water
containing the rejected minerals is
drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh
water enters the machine for the next
ice making 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. The ice bin is
not refrigerated, and some melting will
occur. Allow your ice maker to run for
24 – 48 hours to accumulate ice in the
ice maker’s bin.
