Ice-making system cleaning (CLEAN BUTTON)
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 button 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 button 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 button 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.
6. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water
(95ºF to 115ºF). Wipe the entire bin inside and outside, covering the entire surface of the walls.
7. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and edges, making sure to
cover all surfaces with the solution.
8. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, and then dry.
9. Repeat step 5 to rinse the ice making system one more time.
10. Press the ON/OFF button again. The machine will return to the regular ice making mode.
11. Discard the first batch of ice.
The ice machine cleaner contains acids.
DO NOT use or mix with any other solvent-based cleaner products.
Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the material safety instructions
on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
Discard the first batch of ice produced after cleaning.
