IMPORTANT:

 

 

Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term 
transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded. 

 

Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working. 

 

Never touch the evaporator when the machine is running. 

 

Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and 
insure proper ice formation. 

 

How the Machine Makes Ice 

The machine is in Stand-by mode when plugged in. When the ICE button is 
pressed, it will automatically proceed to the ice-making stage. 
There are two distinct cycles: Freeze and Harvest. During the Freeze cycle, 
water flows to the evaporator surface. In the Harvest cycle, the ice is released. 
A complete cycle can take 15 to 40 minutes, depending on ambient temperature 
and operating conditions. 

Freeze

: During the Freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan 

motor is blowing air, and the water pump is circulating water. When 
the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the Freeze 
cycle and begins the Harvest cycle. 

Harvest: 

During the Harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the 

water pump has stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot 
refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The gas warms the evaporator, 
causing the cubes to slide as a unit off the evaporator and into the 
storage bin. The Freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes drop into 
the bin. 

 

How the machine uses water: 

Each batch of ice is made of a fixed charge of water which enters to the water 
tank in several times during the ice-making stage. As the water flows to the 
freezing evaporator surface, the water will freeze and stick to the ice cube 
molds, and fresh water enters the water tank discontinuously as the water from 
the tank freezes continuously on the evaporator.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO USE A WATER FILTER. A 
FILTER, IF IT IS OF THE PROPER TYPE, CAN REMOVE TASTE AND 
ODORS AS WELL AS PARTICLES AND CAN PROLONG THE LIFE OF 
THE MACHINE.   

 

The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in 
accordance with state and local codes. 

 

The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the 
ice maker to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the 
height of the ice maker by rotating the casters. See the Leveling the Ice 
Maker section.

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make 
sure you have the proper electrical connection. A standard electrical supply 
(115 VAC only, 60 Hz, 15 A), properly grounded in accordance with the 
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. The ice 
maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet. It is
