manual abstract
3. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak. 4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain connections and the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak. (This procedure will also indicate if the drainpipe is kinked or pinched.) 13 5. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker. 6. Push the ice maker into position. 7. Seal all around the cabinet to the floor with an approved caulking compound. OPERATION Final Check List before Operation 1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the ice maker? 2. Did you clean the ice storage bin? 3. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to water, drain and electricity? 4. Has the machine been leveled? 5. Is the ice maker in a site where the ambient temperature is between 13. C (55. F) and 32.C (90.F) and the water temperature within 5. C (41. F) and 25. C (77. F) all year round? 6. Has the water supply pressure been checked to ensure a minimum of 20 psig with a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig? 7. Is there a clearance of at least 4 in. (101 mm) at the rear, and 0.6 in. (15 mm) at the sides and top for proper air circulation? 8. Has the power supply voltage been checked or tested against the nameplate rating? And has proper grounding been installed in the ice maker? 9. Is the ice maker plugged in? 10. Did you turn on the main water supply and the tap? 11. Did you check for leaks at all water supply and drainpipe connections? 14 Operating Method 1. Switch on the Power switch on the right side panel. The light will be on. The ice maker will start working automatically and feeding water. 2. After the first feeding of the water, the machine will automatically go to the ice making stage, and the sound of water spraying will be heard. 3. Ice will be harvested to the ice storage bin. When the storage bin is filled to the point that the ice-full sensor is covered, the ice maker will automatically stop working. The machine will restart making ice once the storage bin is less than full. 4. Excess water will flow through the drain outlet at the back of the machine and empty into the floor drain. IMPORTANT: • Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded. • Never turn the water supply tap off when the icemaker is working. How the Machine Makes Ice There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. During the freeze cycle, water is sprayed against the evaporator surface. In the harvest cycle, the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete cycle takes about 20 minutes, but is dependent on temperature and operating conditions. Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan motor is blowing air, and the water pump is circulating water. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the freeze cycle and begins to harvest the ice. 15 Evaporator Water inlet valve Condenser Hot gas valve Fan motor Evaporator Water inlet valve Condenser Hot gas valve Fan motor Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has stopped. Two other components have been energized: the hot gas valve and the water inlet valve. These two valves open and warm up the freezing surface, allowing the cubes to fall into the bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested. How the machine uses water: The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the Water pump water sump. As the water is sprayed against the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain Compressor mineral impurities will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds. The water containing impurities falls back into the water sump. Gradually, during the freezing portion of the ice-making cycle, the water in the sump will become highly concentrated with mineral impurities. During the harvest cycle, fresh water flows into the machine to dilute the bin water and rinse the concentrated minerals down the drain. Normal Sounds Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them. • You will hear a swooshing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water sump for each cycle. • Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises. • The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. 16 • Water running from the water sump to the evaporator plate may make a sp...
