Ice Production
In normal mode the ice machine will produce up to 39
pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when
installed in a 72°F ambient with a 55°F water supply. In
"ECO" mode (see page 16) the ice machine will produce up
to 29 pounds (13.2 kg) of clear ice in the 24 hour period.

"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 up to 39 lbs of
ice at the above ambient and water temperature
conditions, but when starting with an empty ice storage
bin, the storage bin may accumulate up to 23 lbs of ice.
By design, the ice storage bin is maintained at a
temperature slightly above freezing to allow the stored
ice to to slowly melt to preserve the ice quality and 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.
