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 or how effective your filtration may be . 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.
1.Make sure that all the ice is off of the evaporator. If ice is being made ,wait for cycle completion, then turn the machine “OFF” at the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch.

Discard the first batch of ice produced after cleaning..
6.Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95º to 115º F). Wipe the entire bin inside and out, covering every wall surface.
