Operation

Setting The Controls 

(see page 13)

1. To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.

2. To stop ice maker operation, select OFF.

NOTE:

The CLEAN setting is used whenever solutions

are circulated through the ice maker for cleaning.  See
the 

Care and Cleaning

section (page 11).

IMPORTANT:

If the water supply to the ice maker is

turned off, be sure to set the ice maker control to OFF.

How Your Icemaker Works

Your ice maker is unique in forming ice. It uses
fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and
has less mineral content than the water it is produced
from. This is accomplished
by running water over the
cold evaporator plate
which gradually freezes
the water to produce the
ice slab. Mineral deposits
are left in the reservoir.

When the ice slab reaches
the correct thickness
determined by the
temperature of the
evaporator plate, the
electronic control switches
to the harvest cycle to
harvest the ice slab.
During the harvest cycle,
the ice slab falls from the
evaporator to the ice grid
cutter. Here, the ice slab is
cut into 

3

4

" squares by the

grid cutter’s low voltage
heated wires. During the harvest cycle, the drain valve
will remain open for 45 seconds to drain the reservoir
of remaining deposits. After that, the water valve will
open for 2 minutes providing 2 quarts of water to the
reservoir for the next ice production cycle.

The ice maker will keep producing ice until the ice
maker’s bin is full and will restart automatically when
ice needs to be replenished in the bin.

Due to variables in installation and use, individual
results may vary.  Room and water supply
temperatures affect the output of ice.  Ice will also melt
away, especially at the start of an empty bin, but this
will slow down as ice accumulates.

NOTE:

When using the ice maker for the first time,

discard at least the first two harvests of ice cubes.
