Operazione

Once installed and connected, the ice maker operates automatically. It will fill with water, freeze the water into 8-cube ice, and then eject the ice into the storage bin. The bail arm acts as a sensor; when the ice bin is full and the bail arm is lifted by the ice, the ice maker will temporarily stop production until more ice is used.
