Caring for Your ICE Machine

Cleaning Your Ice Machine

Some impurities will remain and build up in the ice machine and stick to the ice machine's parts over time. This build-up must be removed for proper ice production, ice quality, and ice machine life. Your ice machine is equipped with a cleaning mode that will help in cleaning out these impurities.

The impurities will need to be cleaned of this build- up regularly (at the very least, annually), depend- ing on use and water hardness. You can use an acid such as one specified for ice machine clean- ing or you can use citric acid to remove the build- up. To clean the ice machine:

1.Switch the selector switch to the "OFF" position.

2.Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the reservoir to drain any remaining water and then reinstall.

3.Add the recommend cleaner solution to the reservoir of the ice machine. Access to the reservoir can be obtained by removing the front panel screws and the front panel. Determine the proper amount of cleaner from the ice machine cleaner manufacturer's mixture ratio based on 3 quarts of water (refer to manufacturer's directions).

4.Replace the front cover panel and close the door.

5.Switch the selector switch on the grille of the ice machine to the clean position. Three quarts of water will automatically be added to the cleaning solution.

Read manufacturer's warnings on ice machine cleaner products. Personal injury can result.

6.The total cleaning time will end in 49 min- utes. The cleaning cycle will automatically rinse the evaporator plate and also drain the cleaning solution and rinse water.

7.After the cleaning cycle has ended, remove the front panel again and check that the build-up has been removed. The evaporator plate should be clean, shiny, and smooth to the touch. If build-up is still visible, repeat the cleaning cycle above. If build-up is removed, continue below.

8.Remove the distributor tube, hose clamp, hose and its rubber ends.

9.Thoroughly clean the inside of the distribu- tor tube and the spray holes. You can use the same cleaning solution as before and an old toothbrush to reach the inside of the dis- tributor tube.

10.Reinstall the rubber ends, hose, and hose clamp to the distributor and then reinstall the distributor tube to the evaporator with the spray holes pointed to the bottom of the evaporator plate. Reinstall the front cover panel with the two front panel screws.

11.Clean the ice machine's interior, ice scoop, interior door panel and door gasket with mild soap and water. Using two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart of warm water while cleaning will help remove odors. Rinse with fresh water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products.

Your ice machine is now clean and sanitized and may be put back into operation by switching the selector switch to the "ON" position.
