When you find that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of ice cubes is low, the water
distribution tube may be blocked Set the power switch to OFF Unscrew the six screws holding the top

so that the holes in it are facing up Using a toothpick or similar tool, dredge the holes, then rotate the
water distribution tube back to its original position If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:

dishwashing liquid After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water

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 on how hard your water is or how effective your filtration
may be With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/ gallon (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system
as often as every 3 months
