ICE MACHINE USE
OPERATION (Cont.)
1. Turn on the water tap, let the water trough fill.
2. Press the ON/ OFF button on the control panel. The ice machine will start
working automatically.
3. After 3 minutes, the machine will automatically go to the ice-making
stage, and the sound of water flowing will be heard.
4. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically be
harvested to the ice storage bin.
5. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely
and will hold the bin-full probe open. The machine stops making ice
automatically.
6. The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. Then
the bin-full probe swings back to operating position.
IMPORTANT:
• Although the ice machine has been tested and cleaned at the factory,
due to longterm transit and storage, discard the first few batches of ice
produced.
• Do not turn the water supply tap off when the ice machine is working.
• Do not touch evaporator when unit is running!
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting
and insure proper ice formation.

ICE MAKING CYCLES

There are two distinct cycles: Ice Freeze and Harvest. The freeze cycle
happens when water flows to the evaporator surface. The harvest cycle is
when the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete cycle
takes about 20 minutes, but it depends on temperature and operating
conditions.
Ice Freeze Cycle
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 machine stops the freeze cycle
and the harvest cycle begins.
Harvest Cycle
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 hot refrigerant 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.
