Timer Function and Ice Thickness Adjustment

The Ice Making Timer

displays a countdown when the ice maker has detected the right

conditions required to nish forming the current batch of ice cubes. This display will remain blank until

the proper conditions are met and the unit begins its countdown. At this point, the display shows the

number of minutes remaining for the ice to harvest into the storage basket.

If necessary, the timer can be adjusted using the + and - minus buttons below of on/o󰀨 button to

increase or decrease the ice cube thickness. Increasing the ice making time will produce thicker ice.

Decreasing the ice making time will produce thinner ice. The current setting is displayed in the

adjustment window .

With the unit turned on:

1). Press the + button on the control panel to add from 1 to 6 minutes to the ice production time. This

will produce thicker ice. The setting will be displayed it the adjustment window.

2). Press the - button on the control panel to subtract 1 to 6 minutes from the ice production time. This

will produce thinner ice. The setting will be displayed it the adjustment window.

The current minutes added or subtracted are displayed in the adjustment window

. 0 indicates

the default ice making time is selected. 1 to 6 indicates the minutes that have been added to the ice

making timer to produce thicker ice. -1 to -6 indicates the minutes that have been subtracted from the

ice making timer to produce thinner ice. Use this adjustment to produce the desired ice thickness.

How the Ice Maker Produces Ice

After the unit is powered on, the ice making process begins as the compressor and the water pump

engage. The compressor gases freeze the evaporator grid as the water pump pushes water over

it. After about 15-20 minutes, individual ice cubes will have formed completely. At this time the ice

maker stops producing and begins its harvest cycle. A valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into

the evaporator. The gas heats the evaporator, causing the ice cubes to slide o󰀨 the evaporator and

into the ice basket.

The ice making cycle will then start again. The ice maker will produce clear ice until the cubes reach

the “ice full” sensor or until the unit is out of water. At this time the “ice full” light or “out of water”

light will illuminate. The ice bin compartment is insulated but not refrigerated, so ice in the bin will

slowly melt and the water will be reused. Once enough of the ice has melted, the ice maker will

automatically start making more ice.

Error Resolution

The Error icon indicates the unit has detected an ice production fault. This is most likely due to debris

or build-up in the unit, water lines, or pump.

1) Unplug and clean the ice maker thorougly (see Cleaning and Maintenence).

2) Uplug the unit from power for 1 hour. After 1 hour, plug the unit back in and turn on power. Make

sure the water reservoir is full and the unit begins making ice. If the error persists, contact EdgeStar

support.
