SUB-ZERO

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER

MAKING ICE

Water continuously circulates over a freezing plate. As the water
freezes into ice, minerals in the water are constantly being rejected
and a clear sheet of ice is formed.

The ice maker will make the ice sheet approximately l/2” thick with
the ice thickness control (left control knob) set at “normal”,
Adjustment of the thickness control will cause the machine to make
thinner or thicker sheets of ice.

When the desired ice thickness IS reached the ice sheet
automatically slides onto a cutter grid where it is divided into
individualcubelets.

At the end of each freezing cycle, the water containing the rejected
minerals is discharged to the drain. Fresh water then enters the
machine for the next ice making cycle.

The ice sheet is divided into cubelets

(31i”

x %“)

Cubes fall into the insulated storage bin, When the bin is full, the ice
maker turns off automatically, then starts up again when the ice
supply needs replenishing.

Before starting your Ice Maker

After ice maker is installed and before it is turned on, you will probably want to wash the inside of the
storage bin. Use a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of warm water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
