Important:
Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and
storage, the first batch of ice 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 ensure proper ice
formation.
Operating Method
1. Turn on the water tap, let the water trough fill, and then switch the ICE/OFF/WASH switch on the
front panel to the ICE position. The ice maker will start working automatically.
2. After three minutes, the machine will automatically go to the ice making stage, and the sound of
flowing water will be heard.
3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically be harvested to the ice
storage bin.
4. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the ice
slide down. The machine stops making ice and automatically.
5. The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. At that time, the ice slide will
swing back to operating position.
How the machine Makes Ice
Turn the ICE/OFF/WASH switch to the ICE position. The machine will automatically start the ice
making stage. There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. During the freeze cycle, water flows
across the evaporator surface to form the icde. In the harvest cycle, the ice is released. A complete
cycle can take 15 to 40 minutes, depending on 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 have been harvested.
