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 regularly (at the very least, annually)
need to be cleaned of this build-up, depending on use and
water hardness. You can use an acid such as one specified
for ice machine cleaning 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 reser-
voir to drain any remaining water and then reinstall.
3. Add the recommend cleaner solution to the reser-
voir of the ice machine. Access to the reservoir can
be obtained by removing the front panel screws
and the front panel. Determine to proper amount
of cleaner from the ice machine cleaner manufac-
turer'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 i ce
machine the clean position. Three quarts of w ater
will automatically be added to the cleaning solution.
6. The total cleaning time will end in 49 minutes. The
cleaning cycle will automatically rinse the evapora-
tor 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 distributor tube
and the spray holes. You can use the same cleaning
solution as before and an old toothbrush to reach
the inside of the distributor tube.
10. Reinstall the rubber ends, hose, and hose clamp to
the distributor and then reinstall the distributor tube
to the evaporator with th e 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 abra-
sive cleaning products.
Your ice machine is now clean and sanitized and may be
put back into operation by switching the selector witch to
the "ON" position.
Read manufacturer's warnings on ice machine cleaner
products. Personal injury can result.
