3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WATER CIRCUIT The water enter in the machine through the water inlet fitting which incorporates a strainer located at the rear side of the cabinet then it goes to the water reservoir flowing through a float valve NOTE The presence ofthe water in the float reservoir is detected by a system of two sensors which operates in conjunction with the P C Board The two sensors use the water as a conductor to maintain a low voltage current flow between them In case the water used is very soft de mineralized or the float reservoir gets empty the current flow between the sensors become so weak or is no longer maintained that as consequence the P C Board shutoff the flaker operation with the simultaneous glowing of the YELLOW LED signalling Shortage of water The float reservoir is positioned at the side of the freezing at such an height to be able to maintain a constant water level water flows from the reservoir into the bottom inlet of the freezer to sorround the stainless steel auger which is vertically fitted in the center of the freezer Inthefreezerthe incoming water gets chilled into soft slush ice which is moved upward by the rotating action of the auger The auger rotates counter clockwise within the freezer powered by a direct drive gear motor and carries the ice upward along the refrigerated freezer inner walls and by doing sothe ice gets progressively thicker and harder
