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.
Figure 19
The bin level sensor is located in the ice bin, it senses
when the ice supply is low or full and starts or stops the ice
making process accordingly.
NOTE
If the water supply is turned off to the ice machine be sure
to set the electronic control to the "OFF" position or remove
power to the unit.
OPERATION OF ICE MACHINE
Ice Production
In normal mode the ice machine will produce up to 39
pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when
installed in a 72°F ambient with a 55°F water supply. In
"ECO" mode (see page 16) the ice machine will produce up
to 29 pounds (13.2 kg) of clear ice in the 24 hour period.
"Initial" ice production and ice accumulated in the storage
bin will vary significantly. This is normal. During the first
24-hours of operation the unit will produce up to 39 lbs of
ice at the above ambient and water temperature conditions,
but when starting with an empty ice storage bin, the storage
bin may only accumulate up to 18 lbs of ice. By design,
the ice storage bin is maintained at a temperature slightly
above freezing to allow the stored ice to slowly melt, to
preserve the ice quality and clarity and assure a constant
supply of fresh ice. As ice is accumulated in the bin, the ice
production rate will overcome the ice melt and the storage
bin will fill to capacity.
New Sounds
The ice machine will make sounds that are different than
your household refrigerator. Because these sounds are
new to you they may be of a concern but are most likely
normal. The ice production process will make noises that
are not typical in a refrigeration product, ice falling onto
hard surfaces, water cascading across the evaporator, and
valves opening and closing. Following are some of the
sounds that you may hear:

NOTE
A buzzing sound will be heard when the water valve
opens to fill the water reservoir.
A rattling noise which could be water flowing through the
water line.
A splashing sound when water is flowing over the
evaporator plate and into the water reservoir.
A "thud" when the ice slab is released from the
evaporator plate and slides onto the grid cutter.
"Clicks" when the cubes fall into the ice storage bin.
A gurgling sound which is refrigerant flowing in the ice
machine.
An air noise from the condenser fan.
