IMPORTANT: ENSURING ICE FRESHNESS AND QUALITY
•
Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, discard the fi rst batch of ice cubes
due to long-term transit and storage.
•
If you do not use the ice machine regularly, the manufacturer recommends emptying the ice bin
periodically to ensure ice freshness.
•
The ice machine produces ice in layers resulting in a clear cube. The ice may appear wet when
fi rst produced. Ice in the bin may develop surface frost which appears when the cube in placed in
liquid.
OTHER OPERATING TIPS
•
Keep the air intake and exhaust free of dust and lint to allow free airfl ow.
•
Clean the ice machine when “clean ice machine” message appears on the control panel. In areas
with hard water, cleaning may have to be more frequent.
•
Never touch the evaporator when the unit is running.
•
Keep the door closed to reduce ice melting and to promote proper ice formation. Open the door
only when taking ice from the appliance.
•
Turn on the water supply tap before switching on the ice machine. Never turn the water supply tap
o
ff
when the ice machine is working.
ICE MACHINE PRODUCTION
Individual cube ice machine - the ice machine will continue to produce ice until the ice in the bin
contacts the level indicator in the bin. Once the ice level drops below the level indicator, the ice
machine will begin producing ice.
Slab ice machine - The ice machine will continue to produce ice until ice in the bin reaches the
discharge for the slab ice; not allowing the harvested ice to enter the bin. Once the ice level drops in
the bin, the ice machine will continue to produce ice.
