Operating Process
1. Water is pumped from the water storage tank to the water box, which may
take up to 1 minute.
2. The ice-making cycle begins when the evaporator rods are dipped into the
water box. You will hear the compressor working.
3. It will take approximately 8 - 13 minutes for each ice-making cycle, depending
on the size selected. The larger the size, the more time is needed to make the
ice. After the cycle is finished, the water box will tilt forward and the
remaining water will flow back into the water storage tank. The evaporator
rods will then release the ice cubes.
Note: If the room ambient temperature is below 60˚F (15ºC), then small or
medium ice cube sizes are suggested to prevent ice cubes from fusing
together.
4. Approximately 60 seconds later, the water box will tilt backwards and the ice
pusher will push the ice into the ice storage basket. After the water box flips
back to its original position, the next ice-making cycle will begin.
5. When the maximum capacity of ice cubes is collected and the ice reaches the
temperature sensor, the ice maker will automatically stop operating. The ICE
FULL LED indicator will light up.
If more
ice is needed, remove the ice from the ice storage basket; then,
replace the basket into the machine, making sure that the basket is placed
back to its original position. Note: When replacing the basket, ensure that the
temperature sensor is above the basket so that the machine operates properly.
6. To continue making ice, check that there is water in the water storage tank. If
there is no water in the water storage tank, then no water will be pumped into
the water box, and the operation will stop. The Add Water LED display will
light up. Press the POWER button to turn the machine off. Fill the water storage
tank with water, and then press the POWER button for the ice maker to begin
operating again. Allow the refrigerant inside the compressor at least 3 minutes
to settle before restarting.
7. If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too
much ice, power off, etc., do not restart the machine right away.
Wait at least 3 minutes before restarting the machine.
