• Ice-making system: Minerals 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 build up.
Hard water and a less effective filter may require the cleaning system to be
cleaned more regularly, up to once every 6 months.
1. Ensure that there is no ice on the evaporator. If ice is being formed,
wait for the cycle to complete before turning the ice maker OFF.
2. Remove all ice from the ice storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Ice
Maker Cleaning Solution (nickel-safe) into the water trough. Wait 5
minutes, then press the ON and Clean buttons at the same time. The
Cleaning cycle will initiate and the unit will run the Automatic Clean
Mode.
4. Allow at least 30 minutes in Automatic Clean Mode for proper cleaning.
After cleaning, press the ON/OFF switch again. Use a drain hose on the
front of the water trough to drain off the waste water to a convenient
container. Do not drain the waste water to the inside of the cabinet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 three times (without the Ice Maker Cleaning
Solution) 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 (95º 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. Allow the
solution to rest for 3 minutes, then wipe dry.
8. Repeat step 5 once more to rinse the ice making system again.
9. Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the unit on. The machine will
return to the regular ice making mode. Discard the first batch of ice.
IMPORTANT: The Ice Maker Cleaning Solution 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.
