Water Distribution Tube Cleaning; Ice-Making System Cleaning - Orien FS-50IMOD User Manual

DO NOT touch the condenser fins. They are sharp and can be damaged
easily.

Water Distribution Tube Cleaning

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, rotate the water
distribution tube, and locate the holes in the distribution tube. 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:
1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.
3. Lift the right side up, then remove the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as
dishwashing liquid. After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean
water.
5. Replace the distribution tube
6. Reconnect the water supply.

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 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 made, wait until the cycle is
completed, then turn the machine OFF at the Power switch.
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. After about 5 minutes, set the Power switch to ON. At
the same time press the Clean switch on the front of the unit, and the Clean indicator light
will light, then initiate the Cleaning cycle. The machine will run the Automatic Clean Mode.
