How The Machine Makes Ice - Orien FS50OD Manual Del Usuario

2. After three minutes, the machine will automatically go into the ice-making stage, and the
sound of flowing water will be heard.
3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice will automatically be harvested to the ice
storage bin.
4. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes does not fall completely and it holds the
ice-full probe open. The machine stops making ice and automatically progresses to the cold
preservation stage. During this stage, the compressor works regularly to keep the temperature
low to reduce ice melting.
5. The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. Then the ice-full probe
swings back to operating position.
IMPORTANT:
• A#hough the unit has been tested and cleaned 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 ice maker is working.
• Never touch the evaporator when the machine is running?
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce ice melting and insure proper
ice formation.
How the Machine Makes lee
Turn the Power switch to the ON position. The Power indicator light will light and the machine
will automatically go into the ice-making stage.
There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest.
During the freeze cycle, water flows to the evaporator surface. In the harvest cycle, the ice is
released. A complete cycle can take 15 to 40 minutes, depending 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 the harvest cycle.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has
stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The hot
refrigerant gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide, as a unit, off the evaporator and
into the storage bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested.
