CARE AND USE/INSTALLATION
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 16) which gradually freezes the water to
produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes rst, leaving the
dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide
clear ice.
Figure 16
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice
sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see Figure
16). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid cut-
ter’s heated wires (see Figure 19). The water containing
the dissolved minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.
Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making
cycle.
