manual abstract
1 Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded electrical outlet. 2 Open the water supply valve in the main water source. 3 Place the cycle selector switch in the ON position. The water fill valve will energize and fill the water reservoir. The water fill valve shuts off after 180 seconds. The compressor begins to operate and water flows over the evaporator assembly (ice cube tray). 4 Upon initial start-up, water flow over the evaporator may be uneven. This may cause uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the ice storage bin. This is a normal situation and will correct itself within the first 24 hours of operation. After the initial start-up period, the water will cascade evenly over the evaporator. IMPOR IMPORIMPORIMPORIMPORIMPORT TTTTTANT ANTANTANTANTANT It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first two to three hours of operation. 22 Operation NORMAL OPERATION The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from most water sources on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any sediment to drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content. When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated. When the level of ice reaches the top of the storage bin the unit shuts off. As the ice level in the bin drops the unit will automatically restart to keep the bin full. Your unit’s ice production rate may vary depending on many considerations. Ambient air temperatures, water temperatures, condenser cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness are all contributing factors to how quickly the unit produces ice. Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, the water circulation pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin. Ice Cube Thickness Your Electrolux ice maker uses advanced technology to make ice that is crystal clear. This technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled ice mold that is mounted vertically so no water sits in it. Because of this ice making technology, clear ice cubes differ significantly from regular ice cubes. Differences are illustrated in Figure 27: • Dimples. Electrolux clear ice cubes have “dimples” on one side from the cascading water process. • Cube Variations. Cubes made from different batches, or even cubes within the same batch may have varying dimples, thickness and/or sizes due to the cascading water process. • Cube “slabbing”. Electrolux clear ice makers produce a “slab” of ice that falls from the vertical mold, relying on gravity to break the ice bridges. Depending on the control setting, and the fullness of the ice bucket, it maybe necessary to tap the ice slab with the ice scoop to break it apart.
