Ice Maker Operation
The ice making process is as follows:
Water is pumped into the water tray from the water reservoir. It takes about
•
40 seconds.
• Ice making cycle begins. The evaporator in the water tray starts to form ice on
the evaporator” fi ngers”
WARNING
: Do not touch evaporator while unit is
making ice. The evaporator will cause a burn.
• It takes approximately 6 to 14 minutes (depending on ice selection) for the ice
making cycle to complete. Once completed, the water tray will tilt forward, the
remaining water will fl ow back to the water reservoir and the ice cubes will drop
from the” fi ngers” .You will hear a sound as the ice cubes are released.
• In about 30 seconds, the water tray will tilt backward and the ice shovel will start
to push the ice into the ice collecting section. Once the water tray returns to its
leveled position, the second ice making cycle begins.
When the ice cubes are collected and reach the ice bin sensor, the ice maker will
stop operating and the” ice full” indicator will illuminate. When the ice is below the
sensor, the ice maker will re-start the cycle.
For best performance water temperature should be between 60º-75ºF

Notes/Tips:
• It is normal for the compressor and condenser surfaces to reach
temperatures of 160ºF during operation and surrounding areas may be hot
to the touch .
• Due to fast freezing ,ice cubes may appear “cloudy”. This is actually trapped
air in the water and does not affect the taste or quality of the ice.
• When defrosting or leaving the unit turned off, prop and leave the door open
at least two inches. This allows air to dry the inside of the cabinet, reducing
the chance for mildew.
