ICE MAKER OPERATION - 2011 NDF MODELS
ICE MAKER SANKYO IDI2 (FIG. 4) OPERATION - 2011 NDF MODELS:
To operate ensure:
•
The appliance has reached -10°C for a minimum of 2 hours.
•
Crushed ice or cubed ice mode is selected on the user
control display.
•
The appliance has been on for approximately 12-24 hours at
initial start up. Note: After a period of no use, the icemaker
needs to be run overnight before it will deliver the first cubes.
Ice Maker ON / OFF manager (IDI2 Sankyo):
The Icemaker system is managed by the main power module
determined by ICE mode selected on the user module.
Ice water solenoid activates, this activates the ice fill tube heater
and fills the ice tray with water (See Figs. 5 and 6). Once the
ice-sensor (Fig. 7) signals that the harvest temperature has been
reached, it begins to harvest the ice by twisting the tray (no
heating element inside). The Guide “Ice-Full” arm (Fig. 6) turns
every 2 hours in the down position (30° angle). When the arm
reaches the 30° angle the internal contact inside of the icemaker
gives a signal to the main module. The signal allows ice
production to activate. If the arm cannot go completely down due
to the ice storage container being full (i.e ice is restricting the arm
to lower completely), the feedback signal is therefore missing and ice production is stopped.
