1.Disconnect power to the unit.

2.Remove the front panel of the ice maker. Unscrew the water tank screw nut and drain water completely into the ice storage bin. The water drains out through the drain hole in the bin. (NOTE: Don’t forget to screw the nut back into the water tank hole again.)

3.Using a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95º to 115ºF), wipe down the water tank and the inside of the ice storage bin with a clean cloth. To clean hard-to-reach corners, apply the sanitizing solution with a spray bottle.

4.Rinse thoroughly with clear water. This completes the interior cleaning of the ice maker and storage bin.

5.Reconnect power to the unit.

The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food container.

Water Distribution Tube Cleaning

When you find that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of ice cubes is low, the water distribution tube may be blocked. Set the power switch to OFF. Unscrew the top and front panels. You will see the water distribution tube. Rotate the water distribution tube so that the holes in it are facing up. Using a toothpick or similar tool, dredge the holes, then rotate the water distribution tube back to its original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:

1.Shut off the water and power supplies.

2.Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.

3.Lift one side and remove the distribution tube.

4.With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as dishwashing liquid. After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water.

5.Replace the distribution tube.

6.Reconnect the water supply and power supply lines.

7.Re-attach the top and front panels.

Ice-Making System Cleaning

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 on 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 every 3 months.

1.Whether the machine is in ice-making or harvest stage, turn off the power switch.

2.Remove all ice cubes from the storage bin.

3.Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice
