METHOD OF OPERATING ICE MAKING MACHINE

摘要

A method of operating an ice making machine efficiently provides a clean ice block. An ice storage switch (TS) is installed in an ice storage chamber (16) where an ice block (M) separated by ice removal operation is received. When the ice storage switch (TS) detects that the ice storage chamber (16) is full, a special water-discharge operation is performed. The special water-discharge operation opens a water discharge valve (DV), which is provided at water discharge means (44), after ice removal operation is completed, and this discharges ice making water from the ice making tank (20) to the outside through the water discharge means (44). Then, after the discharge of the ice making water to the outside is started, if a predetermined duration time (T) passes after a float switch (FS) provided in the ice making tank (20) detects an ice making completion water level (LWL) of the ice making water in the ice making water tank (20), the special water discharge operation closes the water discharge valve (DV) to finish the special water discharge operation.
