Using your ice maker How the ice maker works... 1. Water is constantly circulated over a freez- ing plate. As the water freezes into ice the min- erals 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 on to a cutter grid.
Changing the bin door panel You can easily change the color of the front panel on the storage bin door. Six colors are available: Black, Almond, Harvest Gold, White, Toast and Platinum. To change panel: 1. Open the storage bin door. Remove the two screws on the top of the door, which hold the handle.
Cleaning and caring for your ice maker Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature failure of system components. Both the ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly.
1. Place the Cycle Control Knob in the “OFF” position. 2. Remove the two thumb screws and slide the ice cutter grid forward, out of the two slots near the water pan. 3. Unplug the electrical harness. CAUTION: Any Ice on the grid should be melted under nmnhg warm water.
Cleaning the interior components 1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF” and disconnect the electrical power supply to the machine. Open the storage bin door and remove any ice that is in the bin. 2. Remove ice retainer baffle by flexing it and then slide it off the studs.
Filtering and treating water In most areas it will be beneficial to filter or treat the water being supplied to the ice machine. It can improve the reliability of the machine, reduce water system maintenance and produce the best quality of ice.
