The mineral content of the ice produced by the ice maker is reduced compared to the
content in the water before conversion into ice. Water containing a low level of
impurities is rapidly frozen. The reason for this is that the impurities elevate the
temperature of the water. Through such action, most of the impurities condensed in the
water-tank of the ice maker form a hard precipitation called scale.
This icemaker reduces the mineral level by circulating water during the harvest cycle
(the excessive quantity is removed through the outlet tube). Each cycle requires about
0.64 quart (0.6ℓ) of water. For each quart, about 0.5 quart is used in rinsing the water
tank and the remaining quantity is removed through the outlet pipe. In this process,
some impurities unavoidably remain and may accumulate on the internal parts of the ice
maker, forming abnormally-shaped ice cubes. If a large quantity of mineral scale
accumulates, the lifespan of the ice maker may be reduced.
For best operation of the ice maker, impurities and minerals should be decomposed by
washing periodically. The method of cleaning the ice maker is described on pages 18 -
21.
In general, it is best to use filtered water. Filters may remove not only bad odor but also
particles. Neutral water is not recommended.
Water softener is not recommended because it exchanges minerals. If the hardness of
the water is very high, softening may lead to the formation of opaque pieces of ice.
If you have any questions about the purity of your water, address your inquiry about
water treatment to an expert in water quality.
