5. Funcionament

The Scotsman 12-2548-01 Water Valve operates automatically in conjunction with your ice machine's control system. When the ice machine requires water for the ice-making cycle, the control system sends an electrical signal to the valve, causing it to open and allow water to flow. Once the required amount of water has entered the system, the signal is removed, and the valve closes, stopping the water flow.

No manual intervention is required for the valve's normal operation.

The Scotsman 12-2548-01 Water Valve is designed for durability and typically requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and proper function:

• Inspecció de fuites: Regularly inspect the valve and its connections for any signs of water leaks. Address any leaks immediately to prevent damage to the ice machine or surrounding area.
• Sediment Check: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits or sediment can accumulate over time. While the valve has an internal filter, excessive buildup can affect performance. If water flow issues arise, the valve's inlet screen may need inspection and cleaning.
• Connexions elèctriques: Periodically check that electrical connections to the valve are secure and free from corrosion.

Note: Always disconnect power and water supply before performing any maintenance.
