Harvest:
During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump
has stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator.
The gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide, as a unit, off the evaporator and
into the storage bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested.
How the machine uses water:
The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough.
As the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not
contain mineral impurities will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds. The water containing
impurities falls back into the trough. During the ice-making process, fresh water enters
the water trough continuously as the water from the trough freezes continuously on the
evaporator.
How to adjust the capacity of the ice storage bin
The ice storage
capacity can be
increased or decreased
by moving the
adjustable shelf to
different placements.
You can decide the
shelf’s most efficient
location according to
your usage of ice.
