OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The bin level sensor is located in the ice bin, it senses when the ice supply is low or full
and starts or stops the ice making process accordingly.
Note: if the water supply is turned off to the ice maker be sure to set the switch to the
‘Off’ position.
Ice production
Your unit will produce approximately 30lbs (13.5kg) of ice in a 24-hour period when
installed in a 70°F (21°C) ambient temperature with a 55°F (12°C) water supply.
Note: ‘Initial’ ice production and ice accumulated in the storage bin will vary significantly.
This is normal. During the first 24-hours of operation the unit will produce approximately
30lbs (13.5kg) of ice at the above temperature conditions, but when starting with an
empty ice storage bin, the storage bin may only accumulate approximately 18lbs (8kg)
of ice. By design, the ice storage bin is maintained at a temperature slightly above
freezing to allow the stored ice to slowly melt, to preserve the clarity and assure a
constant supply of fresh ice. As ice is accumulated in the bin, the ice production rate will
overcome the ice melt and the storage bin will fill to capacity.
New sounds
The ice maker will make sounds that are different than your household refrigerator.
Because these sounds are new to you they may be of a concern but are most likely
normal. Ice falling onto hard surfaces and water cascading across the evaporator will
make sounds seem louder than they actually are. Following are some of the sounds that
you may hear:
●
●
A buzzing sound will be heard when the water valve opens to fill the water reservoir.
●
●
You may hear a rattling noise which could be water flowing through the water line.
●
●
A splashing sound may be heard when water is flowing over the evaporator plate and
into the water reservoir.
●
●
When the ice slab is released from the evaporator plate you may hear a ‘thud’ as it
slides onto the grid cutter.
●
●
At the end of an ice making cycle you may hear a gurgling sound which is refrigerant
flowing in the ice maker.
●
●
When the condenser fan turns on you might hear the air circulating over the condenser.
