Cleaning and caring for your ice maker

Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature failure of system components.

Both the ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly.

The minerals rejected from the circulating water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system which prevents a rapid release of the ice from the freezing plate.

Clean the ice and water system periodically to remove mineral scale build-up. Frequency of cleaning depends on water hardness. With sofi water, cleaning may not be required for several years. With hard water (15to 20 grains/gal.), cleaning may be required as frequently as every six months.

A dirty or clogged condenser:

0 prevents proper air flow.

l reduces ice making capacity.

l causes higher than recommended operating temperatures which may lead to component failure.
