INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY Water Supply ! CAUTION Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this appliance. This ice machine must be connected to a potable cold water supply line. delivering water pressure between a minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi. Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Route the 1 ⁄4" copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kink the tubing.
DRAIN SYSTEM TEST ! CAUTION Procedure for Testing Drain System (both gravity and drain pump models) Drain pump models have a safety feature that will interrupt power to the unit if a high-limit condition occurs to prevent flooding. This safety feature can be initiated by a restriction in the drain system and will continue until high-limit condition is corrected, at which time power will be restored to the unit.
OPERATION OF THE ICE MACHINE The Ice Making Process Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less dissolved solids than the water it is produced from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator plate (see Figure 16) which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes first, leaving the dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide clear ice.
OPERATION OF ICE MACHINE The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice machine’s bin is full and will restart automatically when ice needs to be replenished in the bin. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur by design to preserve the ice quality and clarity. Allow your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice machine’s bin. Ice Production In normal mode the ice machine will produce up to 39 pounds (17.
