Operating Instructions
Icemaker
How your
icemaker
works
When you first start your icemaker, the water
reservoir will fill and the system will rinse itself
before starting to make ice. The rinsing
process takes about five minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the
icemaker will cycle at preset temperatures.
The ice level sensor located in the ice storage
bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT
• If the water supply to the icemaker is
turned off, be sure to set the icemaker
control to OFF. Drain the water reservoir
and leave the icemaker door open to allow
it to dry completely.
• Every time the icemaker is turned off, you
MUST clean the icemaker system with Nickel
Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. See Care and
Cleaning—Icemaker system section for instructions.
• The icemaker is designed to make clear ice
from the majority of water sources on a daily
basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, your
water may need to be filtered or treated.
Making Ice
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing
plate. As the water freezes into ice, the
minerals in the water are rejected. This
produces a clear sheet of ice with a low
mineral content.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the
ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter
grid. The grid divides the sheet into
individual cubes.
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 icemaker shuts off
automatically and restarts when more ice
is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated
and some melting will occur. The amount
of melting varies with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures
vary, so will the amount of ice produced and
stored. This means that higher operating
temperatures result in reduced ice production.
