All water contains some impurities and minerals.
Your XO Ice Maker is designed to produce crystal clear, gourmet ice. It does this by
reducing the mineral content in the water as the ice is forming.
PURER WATER YIELDS PURER ICE.
Cubes are formed by cold water spraying against a chilled mold. Pure water freezes faster
than water containing impurities. The spraying action causes the cubes to be built up in layers
as the pure water freezes more quickly and the water containing impurities is washed away by
the spray and falls into the water bin to be diluted and drained away.
When the ice maker senses the cubes are fully formed and ready, the ice cube molds are
heated slightly causing them to drop out of the mold and into the ice holding bin.
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure that your ice maker is performing at its best.
See the maintenance section of this book and the Maintenance Schedule.
FILTERS AND WATER TREAMENT
The correct filter is always recommended. It has the ability to remove odors as well as
particulate from water prior to reaching the ice maker.
(consult www.xoappliance.com for more information on which filter is right for you)
Water softeners exchange one mineral for another (salt) which can cause inferior ice quality
such as soft, mushy ice that clumps together. If you are using a water softener, you should
install a bypass to supply untreated water to the ice maker.
Water produced by Reverse Osmosis and deionized water are not recommended. It is more
corrosive than tap water and can cause harm to the equipment over time.
