Electrolux 15 manual Inlet Screen Cleaning Every Year, Draining for non-use

Inlet Screen Cleaning — Every Year

The solenoid valve inlet screen must be cleaned at least once each year as follows:

1Shut off the water at the water supply valve.

2Pull the unit out to access the back panel.

3Disconnect electrical power to the unit.

4Disconnect the entire hose connector from the water solenoid valve (see Figure 33).

5Use a tooth brush to clean sediment from the inlet screen. DO NOT remove the screen.

6Re-connect the water supply line to the water solenoid valve. Tighten connector securely. Open the water supply valve and check for leakage at the water connection. Make sure the water supply line is not kinked.

7Reconnect power to the unit before re- installing.

8Make sure the drain system is working properly and the drain hose is not pinched or kinked. Pour one gallon of cool, fresh water into the ice bin. The water should drain freely. If your ice maker is equipped with a drain pump, the pump should drain the ice bin.

Draining for non-use

If the unit is to be stored, moved or not used for extended periods, it will be necessary to drain the system of water.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before servicing. Before operating replace all panels. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1Disconnect power from the unit.

2Remove ice from the storage bin.

3Shut off water supply at the main water source.

NOTE

Back panel must be removed prior to disconnecting the water lines.

4Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines to the water valve and allow them to drain.

CAUTION

If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage, which is not covered by the warranty.

IMPORTANT

The use of antifreeze or other products of this nature is not necessary and is not recommended.

5Reconnect inlet and outlet lines to the water valve.

6Replace back panel.

7Drain water from the water trough and drain line by removing the overflow tube (see Figure 32).

8Clean the ice maker and storage bin before next use.

9Prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew.

IMPORTANT

It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first 24 hours of operation when the unit is returned to service.
