ICE MAKER OPERATION
How it makes ice:
1. vVater is constantly circulated over a freezing
plate. As the water freezes into ice the minerals in
the v\,ater are rejected. This produces a clear sheet
of ice with a low mineral content.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice
making cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is
full the ice maker shuts off automatically and re­
starts when more ice is needed.
2 When the desired thickness is reached, the ice
siieet is released and slides on to a cutter grid. The
grid divides the sheet into individual cubes.
3 The water containing the rejected minerals is
drained after each freezing cycle.
