7.5.2 Information About The Icemaker
•
The temperature of the FC needs to reach below -10
0
C (14
O
F) before the icemaker
commences to operate.
•
When first switched on, the icemaker carries out a harvest with no water in the ice tray.
•
Once the ice tray resumes its normal position, the water will fill the tray. At this stage it will
calculate the amount of time taken to do a cycle, and then flips. After this point it will run
normally, calculating the amount of time for each batch. The rate of production will depend on
the temperature of the freezer.
Note:
If the temperature is above -10
0
C (14
O
F), the ice/water tray will sit in this position and will not
turn to dispense.
•
The cubes will be ejected from the mould into the ice bin. It is suggested that the ice cubes
are levelled with the ice scoop occasionally for maximum storage.
•
The large and small freezer bins can be rotated if a large amount of ice is required.
To manually force a harvest.
Press the
Down
,
UP
and
Lock
buttons together and hold for 4 seconds. The icemaker will rotate
and empty the contents of the ice tray, then return to its normal position. The ice tray will then fill
with water.
Note:
A forced harvest will operate without the product being down to temperature. If the harvest
does not work, the sensor may be not connected or open circuit. The icemaker sensor must be in
circuit for a forced harvest to work.
7.5.3 Ice Bin Full Sequence
When the ice bin is full, the icemaker starts a sequence of testing to ensure ice harvest can
continue. If the icemaker senses the bin is full, the motor resumes its normal position. Twenty
minutes later, the testing sequence commences until such time as the ice level is reduced by
usage. The testing sequence happens every 20 minutes.
Bin in position
Bin lever – senses if
there is a bin in
position or not.
If there is no bin, lever
will be in the down
position as shown.
Bin full of Ice
Lever sensing if ice bin
is full.
If bin is not full,
icemaker continues
rotation to eject ice.
