Using your ice maker
How the ice maker works...
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freez
ing plate. As the water freezes into ice the min
erals in the water are rejected. This produces a
clear sheet of ice with a low mineral oontent.
3. The water containing the rejected minerals
is drained after each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next
ice making cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the
bin is full the ice maker shuts off automatically
and restarts when more ice is needed.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the
ice sheet is released and slides on to a cutter
grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual
cubes.
Setting the controls...
1. Select ice thickness. The ice maker has
been pre-set to produce ice approximately '/2"
thick, while operating in a room ambient of
70°F(21°C).
Operation in different ambient temperatures
may require readjusting the control toward
"THICK" or “THIN”
Best operation will be obtained with ice Vi' to
%" thick.
It operating in a warm room ambient (above
90°F [32°C]) DO NOT set control to maximum
thickness or the unit may malfunotion.
