Operating Method; How The Machine Makes Ice - Franklin Chef FIM70 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Operating Method

1. Switch on the Power switch on the right
side panel. The light will be on. The ice
maker will start working automatically
and feeding water.
2. After the first feeding of the water, the
machine will automatically go to the ice
making stage, and the sound of water
spraying will be heard.
3. Ice will be harvested to the ice storage
bin. When the storage bin is filled to the
point that the ice-full sensor is covered,
the ice maker will automatically stop
working. The machine will restart
making ice once the storage bin is less
than full.
4. Excess water will flow through the drain
outlet at the back of the machine and empty into the floor drain.
IMPORTANT:
•
Although the unit has been tested 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 icemaker is working.

How the Machine Makes Ice

There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest.
During the freeze cycle, water is sprayed against the evaporator surface.
In the harvest cycle, the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete cycle
takes about 20 minutes, but is dependent 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 to harvest the ice.
