No special instructions are needed for use. Just
take as much ice as you need, the machine will
replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can be stored
in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right
side as a holder. That tubing is also the ice level
sensor; ice will fill the storage bin until it’s near to
or on that tube and then the machine will shut off.
To maximize ice storage capacity, you may need
to use the scoop to level the ice in the storage bin,
especially within the first day or so of operation.
The machine can be shut off anytime by just
pushing and releasing the On/Off button. The
machine will shut off at the end of the next cycle.
To shut off immediately, push and hold the On/Off
button in until the machine stops.
What shouldn’t be done?
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is
not ice. Objects like wine or beer bottles are not
only unsanitary, but the labels can slip off and plug
up the drain.
Never allow the machine to operate without regular
cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept
clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least
once per year, and preferably twice. Some water
conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning
of the ice making section, and some carpets or
pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the
condenser.
Note: The Time to Clean light will switch ON after
6 months of use. It will stay ON until the ice making
system is cleaned using the process on page 13.
Noise:
The ice machine is designed for quite operation,
but will make some noise during the ice making
cycle. During a freezing cycle, it is normal to hear
the fan moving air and the water pump circulating
water. Ice hitting the bin or ice in the bin can be
heard during harvest.
Normal cubes are tapered cylinders. If the cubes
are ragged and mis-shaped, mineral scale must be
removed from the ice making system
Maintenance
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1.
The outside cabinet & door.
2. The ice storage bin.
3. The condenser.
4. The ice making system.
5. The ice scoop.
How to clean the cabinet.
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and
handle as they occur. If anything spilled on the
door or gasket dries onto the surface, wash with
soap and warm water to remove.
How to clean the ice storage bin.
Over time biofilm can grow inside the drain system
which can affect the ability for the drain system to
evacuate the drain water. On the pump models this
can also drive a erratic pump operation. Including
the pump cycling rapidly or running all the time.
Biofilm and pump cycling issues will eventually
lead to low production and standing water in
the bin. To ensure that this
does not
become an
issue
frequent bin sanitizing may be required.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized
occasionally.
