CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont.)
WARNING
DO NOT touch the condenser fi ns.
They are sharp and can be damaged easily.
WATER DISTRIBUTION TUBE CLEANING
When you fi nd 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, gently take out the water distribution
tube, and locate the holes in the distribution tube. Using a toothpick or similar tool, dredge the holes,
then put 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. Gently take out the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as dish
washing 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 fi ltration 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.
Note: The unit will automatically shut down the Cleaning program after 30 minutes, or you can stop
it by pressing the Clean switch again, and the machine will automatically progress to the ice-
making stage.
