How The Machine Makes Ice; How The Machine Uses The Water - Maxx Ice MIM50 Manual De Instrucciones

2. After 3 minutes, the machine will automatically go to the ice-making stage, and the
sound of water flowing will be heard.
3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed
ice storage bin.
4. 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.
5. The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. Then the bin-full
probe swings back to operating position.
NOTE:
 Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and
storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
 Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
 Never 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.

How the machine makes ice

Set the ON/OFF button to the ON position. The machine will automatically go to the ice
making stage.
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.
Freeze: 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 maker stops the freeze cycle and harvest cycle begins.
Harvest: 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.

How the machine uses the water

The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As
the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not
contain mineral impurities freezes and sticks to the ice cube molds. The water containing
impurities falls back into the water trough. During the ice making process, fresh water
ice will automatically be harvested to the
