Ice-making system cleaning
Minerals that are removed from the water during the freezing cycle will eventually
form a hard, scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly
helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often to clean the system depends
upon how hard your water is or how effective your filtration may be. With hard
water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/ liter), you may need to clean the system
as often as once every 6 months.
1. Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being formed, wait until
the cycle is completed, then press the machine’s ON/OFF switch on the control
panel.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe
Ice Maker Cleaner Solution into the water trough. Then press the ON/OFF
switch and the CLEAN button, initiating the wash cycle. The machine will run in
the Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, press the ON/OFF switch
again. Use a drain hose on the front of the water trough to drain off the waste
water to a convenient container.
NOTE: Don’t drain off the waste water to the inside of the cabinet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Solution) three times to rinse
the ice making system thoroughly.
• NOTE: Ice Maker Cleaner Solution in the water bin during the rinse is
not needed.
