8 U-Line Ice Maker
Clear Ice Maker Cleaning Cycle
Interval - Every 3 Months
To maintain operational efficiency, clean the unit every three 
months (depending on water conditions, more or less frequent 
cleaning may be necessary). If the ice maker requires more 
frequent cleaning, consult a qualified plumber to test the water 
quality and recommend appropriate treatment.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles and/or face shield 
when handling Ice Machine Cleaner.
CAUTION
Use only U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner (Part No. 37050, 
available from your dealer or direct from your local parts 
distributor. To locate a parts distributor near you, visit 
www.U-LineService.com. It is a violation of federal law to 
use this solution in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 
Use of any other cleaner can ruin the finish of the 
evaporator and will void the warranty. Read and 
understand all labels printed on the package before use.
U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner is used to remove lime scale and other 
mineral deposits. Refer to the following steps to initiate the self-
cleaning cycle.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
• Model CLRCO2175 refrigerator will not operate during 
the ice maker cleaning cycle. Remove all fresh food to 
prevent spoilage.
• Model CLRCO2175 ice production after the first 
harvest may take longer after the cleaning cycle since 
restoring the refrigerator temperature will take 
precedence over ice production. Once the refrigerator 
reaches its set-point temperature, ice making will 
resume.
CAUTION
Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator. 
Damage may result.
1. Turn the ice maker off (allowing any ice to melt off of the 
evaporator):
2. Remove all ice from the 
storage bin.
3. Remove evaporator 
cover.
4. Remove the standpipe 
by lifting it up while using 
a slight back and forth 
motion to loosen it from 
the drain hole. The 
water in the reservoir 
will flow down the drain. 
5. Re-install the standpipe into the water trough.
6. Clean the Interior Bin as follows:
• Dilute one packet of CLR cleaner into two quarts of water.
• Using a sponge or cloth, clean interior of ice bin, tubing and 
door. This cleaner will remove all mineral deposits and 
other contaminants from the surfaces.
• Using a bottle brush, clean out the trough drain tube and 
pump tubing where needed.
7. Turn unit on by touching the POWER icon
8. Place the unit into CLEAN mode by touching and holding the 
POWER icon while pressing the LIGHT icon three times.
9. When water begins flowing over the evaporator (approximately 
3 minutes), pour 1 packet of CLR cleaner into the water trough. 
The cleaning process will last approximately 45 minutes.
10. Following the cleaning process, sanitize the ice bin with a dilute 
bleach solution. (1 Tablespoon bleach per gallon of water).
Dilute 1 tablespoon bleach in 1 gallon of warm water. Apply this 
solution to the entire inside of the storage area. Then rinse 
thoroughly with water.
The unit will resume operation approximately 15 minutes after the 
automated cleaning process is completed. The water fill valve will 
energize, fill the water reservoir, and shut-off after three minutes. 
The compressor begins to operate and water flows over the 
evaporator assembly (ice cube tray). Initially, the water flow may 
not be uniform, causing uneven sized cubes or water to spill into 
the ice storage bin. This is a normal situation that will correct itself 
within the first 24 hours of operation.
