Disconnect the electric power to the ice machine at the electric service switch box.. A. Remove the splash shield • Pull forward on left and right nylatch connectors until disengaged from ice machine (connectors remain attached to splash shield).
Section 4 Maintenance E. Remove the float valve D. Remove the water distribution tube • Remove the clamp from the vinyl water hose on the right side of the distribution tube. Turn off the water supply to the ice machine at the water service valve. • Turn the splash shield counterclockwise one or two turns. 2 3 1. LIFT UP 2. SLIDE BACK 3.
Maintenance Section 4 G. Remove the water trough F. Remove the water pump. • Disconnect the water pump power cord. LOOSEN SCREWS • Remove the quarter turn fasteners (turn counterclockwise) securing the trough in place. • Lift up and forward on the front of the water trough while allowing the rear of the water trough to drop. • Remove the water trough from the ice machine. POWER CORD PUMP OUTLET WATER PUMP SV1456B • Disconnect the hose from the pump outlet.
Section 4 Maintenance Step 7 Mix a solution of cleaner and warm water. Depending upon the amount of mineral buildup, a larger quantity of solution may be required. Use the ratio in the table below to mix enough solution to thoroughly clean all parts. Solution Type Cleaner Water 1 gal. (4 l) Mixed With 16 oz (500 ml) cleaner Step 8 Use 1/2 of the cleaner/water mixture to clean all components.
