SA 3 134a - Sea Frost Refrigeration

ICE MAKINGYour SEA FROST holdover plates may be equipped with vertical ice trays. The icetrays are held in contact with the plates by a stainless steel rod.Fill the vertical trays with water and hang them on the face of the plate. Try to get somewater between the tray and the plate surface to increase the thermal contact (increasingfreezing ability).HARVESTING ICEPlan to wait some time after the trays are frozen for them to thaw in a sink or away fromthe plate in the refrigerator. When the outside surface is wet invert the tray and let theice slide out.STORAGE OF ICE CUBESAfter ice has been made and harvested, store it in resealable plastic bags in therefrigerator or is so equipped in the freezer. Ice trays left in contact with the plate willmelt rapidly if the plate goes above freezing.DEFROSTINGIt is important to defrost the holdover plates regularly. This will maximize the efficiencyof the system and ice making performance. It is not necessary to turn off the system todefrost. Scrape off any frost with a piece of wood or galley utensil. A noticeable drop inthe cabinet temperature will occur.BAG STYLE ICE MAKINGIf your SEA FROST system is not equipped with the vertical tray kit, you can still makeice. One method is to use zip lock bags. When filled with water, a clip binder or aclamp of your own invention can hold the bag in contact with the plate.4
