When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice
sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see
Figure 18). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid
cut-ter’s heated wires (see Figure 21). The water
containing the dissolved minerals is drained after each
freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine for the next
ice making cycle.

OPERATION OF THE ICE MACHINE
The Ice Making Process
Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with fraction-
al freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less
dissolved solids than the water it is produced from. This is
accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator
plate (see Figure 18) which gradually freezes the water to
produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes first, leaving the
dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide
clear ice.
