What to expect:
When the machine is on, and making ice the
compressor, fan motor and water pump will be on.
Periodically, the water pump and fan will stop and
ice will be "harvested".
Water flows over an inclined freezing surface, and
gradually freezes into a slab. The ice size
thermostat measures the temperature of the
freezing surface and the setting of that thermostat
determines the thickness of the slab.
During the ice release cycle, the ice slab slides
down onto a hot wire cutter grid and, after the grid
melts thru the ice, the individual cubes fall into the
ice storage bin portion of the machine.
The ice machine will continue to produce ice until
the bin is full. Then the ice machine will shut down
until the level of ice in the bin falls below the bin
thermostat well.
The ice storage bin is not refrigerated, so there will
be some melting. This will vary with the
temperature of the room where the ice machine is
located.
The ice machine must have good ventilation in
order to work properly. Do NOT block the air flow
in front of the machine.
