How the Icemaker Works
When you
fi
rst start your icemaker, the water
reservoir will
fi
ll and the system will rinse itself
before starting to make ice. The rinsing process
takes about 5 min.
Under normal operating conditions, the icemaker
will cycle on and off as needed. The ice level sensor
located in the ice storage bin will monitor the ice
levels.
Notes:
If the water supply to the icemaker is turned off,
•
be sure to set the icemaker control to OFF. Drain
the water reservoir and leave the icemaker door
open to allow it to dry completely.
The icemaker is designed to make clear ice from
•
the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If
your results are unsatisfactory, your water may
need to be
fi
ltered or treated.
Making Ice
Water is constantly circulated over a freezing
1.
plate. As the water freezes into ice, the minerals
in the water are rejected. This produces a clear
sheet of ice with a low mineral content.
When the desired thickness is reached, the ice
2.
sheet is released and slides onto a cutter grid.
The grid divides the sheet into individual cubes.
The water containing the rejected minerals is
3.
drained after each freezing cycle.
Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice-
4.
making cycle.
Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin
5.
is full, the icemaker shuts off automatically
and restarts when more ice is needed. The ice
bin is not refrigerated and some melting will
occur. The amount of melting varies with room
temperature.
Note:
As the room and water temperatures vary,
so will the amount of ice produced and stored. This
means that higher operating temperatures result in
reduced ice production.
