Operating principle

6.1
At the start of the ice-making process, the trough is filled with water via the fresh water supply tube. An
electronic water level control device ensures that only the actually required amount of water is supplied.
Once the trough is filled, it is set in motion by the trough motor. This generates a controlled wave move-
ment of the water.
The evaporator is located above the trough, with 'evap-
orator fingers' reaching into the trough. The water
freezes on the 'evaporator fingers' that are cooled by
the refrigerant, causing ice cubes to form.
The wave movement causes only water molecules to
adhere to the 'evaporator fingers', while minerals (e.g.
lime) and contaminants remain in the water residue.
This ensures that the ice cubes are clear, even at high-
er degree water of hardness.
The ice thickness motor continuously measures the ice
thickness. Once the factory-set ice cube size is
reached, the ice-making process is terminated
(please see chapter 6.2 regarding the size of the ice
cubes).
The unused water is fed into the drain via a separate
channel by tilting the trough. This ensures that contact
with the ice cubes already produced is avoided, so that
the cubes remain hygienically clean.
The automatically initiated defrosting phase causes the
ice cubes to be separated from the evaporator, so that
they fall into the storage container. Once all ice cubes
have been separated, the trough returns to its original
position below the 'evaporator fingers'.
A new ice-making process commences. This procedure
is repeated until the storage container is full.
Once the storage container is full, the device switches
off automatically. It automatically switches back on
again once a sufficient number of ice cubes has been
removed from the storage container.
NOTE: In case of longer production breaks (e.g. Holidays), it is recommended that you switch off (Position
"Produktion aus/off") the machine (see chapter 5.7) for hygienic reasons (automatic emptying of residual
humidity of the production trough) and for cost saving reasons (water and electricity).The automatically ini-
tiated defrosting phase causes the ice cubes to be separated from the evaporator, so that they fall into the
storage container. Once all ice cubes have been separated, the trough returns to its original position be-
low the 'evaporator fingers'.
