Defrosting - U-Line ICE-MAKER User Manual

3. Use a tooth brush to clean sediment from the inlet screen
(Figure 46). DO NOT remove the screen.
4. Attach the hose connector to the solenoid valve. Tighten connec-
tor securely with pliers. Open the water supply valve and check for
leaks at the hose connector.
DO NOT use any type of electrical heating device, ice pick,
knife, or other sharp instrument to defrost, as this could
damage the inner lining or refrigeration system and void the
warranty.
Manual defrost models should be defrosted approximately every eight
weeks. However, this interval may not be adequate in periods of high
humidity or heavy usage. Defrost your unit whenever the frost thickness
is 1/4" or greater. To defrost, turn the unit OFF, remove cubes and
prop door open at least two inches.
Frost free units will NEVER need defrosting. Automatic
defrost models do not normally require manual defrosting.
However, in extremely high humidity or during periods of
unusually high usage, minimal manual defrosting may be
required.
