Monogram Ice Maker - Self-Defrosting

Monogram ice makers make sheets of ice that are formed in an evaporator pan and then dropped onto a heating grid that cuts them into 3/4" squares. The cubes are then dropped into the storage bucket. The ice maker is a manufacturing and storage compartment for ice, but is not a sealed freezer compartment. This means ice in the storage bucket is constantly melting. A drain system is required for these ice makers.

 

• If there is no drain to use to remove the excess water, there is an optional drain pump that will pump the water out.

• The average temperature in the ice maker bucket is 42 to 45 degrees F, thus the evaporator does need defrosting.
