Ice-making system cleaning
Minerals that are removed from 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
you need 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 every 6 months.
1. Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being made, wait for cycle completion, then
turn the machine “OFF” at the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply, Pour 8 oz. (230g) of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker
Cleaner Solution into the water trough. After about 5 minutes, initiate the wash cycle at the
ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch by the switch in the “WASH” position. The machine will run the
Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, turn the machine “OFF”, then drain off the
cleaning water to a container by the drain pipe in the left of the water trough.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Solution) to rinse the ice making system 3 times.
• Note: The use of the Ice Maker Cleaner Solution in the water bin during the rinse is not needed.
6. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 2 tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm or hot
water. Wipe the entire bin inside and out, covering every wall surface.
7. Repeat step 6 to rinse the ice making system.
8. Switch to the “ICE” position. The machine will return to the regular ice making mode. Discard the
first batch of ice.
