The Cleaning/Reset Status light will help you know when it is time to clean your ice maker. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells you it is almost time to clean your ice maker.

ICE MAKER CARE

Cleaning

The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the “Ice Maker System” and the “Condenser” sections.

Exterior Surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good household appliance cleaner and wax will help maintain the finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surfaces.

Ice Maker System

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. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every 6 months.

NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker cleaner. To order, call 1-800-442-9991and ask for Part Number 4396808. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.

2.Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
