CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE
ICE MAKER SYSTEM
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. If
you have hard water of 15-20 grains/gal. (4-5
grains/L), you may need to clean the system as
often as every 9 months.
NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of
approved ice maker cleaner. To order, see “To
Order Accessories” on page 14.
1. Press ON/OFF.
2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into
the storage bin. Remove all ice from the
storage bin.
3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of
the water pan located inside the storage
bin. Allow the water to drain completely.
4. Replace the drain cap securely on the water
pan. If the drain cap is loose, water and the
solution will empty from the water pan.
5. Read and follow all handling information on
the cleaner bottle before completing the
steps below.
6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water
pan. Fill the bottle twice with tap water and
pour that water into the water pan.
7. Press CLEAN. The light will blink, indicating
that the cleaning cycle is in process. When
the “Cleaning Complete” indicator is
illuminated (approximately 70 minutes),
the cleaning cycle is complete. The system
will both clean and rinse itself during the
cleaning cycle.
8. Remove the drain cap from the water pan
after the cleaning cycle is complete. Look
for any cleaning solution left in the water
pan. If cleaning solution drains from the
water pan, you should run the clean cycle
again. Repeat steps 5-7 if needed. Recheck
the water pan for any cleaning solution. If
there is none, securely replace the drain cap
on the water pan. If the drain cap is loose,
water will empty from the water pan and
you will have either thin ice or no ice.
NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require
repeated cleaning with a fresh quantity of
cleaning solution.
9. Press ON/OFF to resume ice production.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Wash the exterior surfaces and gaskets with
warm water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe
and dry. Regular use of a good household
appliance cleaner and wax will help maintain
the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on
surfaces as they may scratch the finish.
For products with a stainless steel exterior,
use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent mixed with warm water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine
bleach on the stainless steel surfaces.
