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 every 3 months.
1. Remove the front panel of the ice machine.
2. Make sure all ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being made, initiate harvest or wait for cycle
completion, then turn machine off at the power switch.
3. Remove all ice cubes from the storage bin.
4. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker
Cleaner Solution into the water tank.
5. Turn on the power switch. Within 3 minutes press the Clean button. The machine will go into
the cleaning mode automatically.
6. The ice-making system cleaning cycle will continue for 30 minutes unless you press the
power switch (you can press the power switch to stop the cleaning cycle any time during the
30 minutes). After cleaning, the harvest indicator and ice-making indicator LEDs will be on.
The cleaning process stops.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 above three times to rinse the ice-making system thoroughly. This will
complete the ice-making system cleaning.
(NOTE: Do not add Ice Maker Cleaner Solution to the water tank during the rinses.)
8. Perform steps 3 and 4 in the Interior Cleaning section.
9. If you want to make ice cubes after cleaning, turn off the power switch, then turn on the power
switch. The next ice-making cycle will begin.
10. Discard the first batch of ice.
Note：If you press the power switch to stop cleaning during the cleaning cycle, some waste
water may remain in the water tank. Press the clean button and hold it for more than 6
seconds. The machine will enter the draining mode and the waste water will be drained off.
