Care and Cleaning

Icemaker

Unplug the icemaker before cleaning.

Caring for your icemaker

Periodically inspect and clean the icemaker to keep it operating at peak efficiency.

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 buildup. Frequency of cleaning depends on water hardness.

With hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal. [4 to 5 grains/liter]), cleaning may be required as frequently as every 6 months.

For best performance, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser once a year. Unscrew the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet to access the condenser.

Exterior surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good household appliance cleaner and wax will help protect the finish.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.

Models with a stainless steel exterior can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner using a clean, soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Icemaker system

1.Push the selector switch to OFF.

2.Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin. Remove all ice from the storage bin.

3.Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to drain completely.

4.Replace the drain cap.

5.Use one 16 oz. bottle of Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner by Nu Calgon. Read and follow all safety precautions on the bottle. Pour one bottle of solution into the water reservoir. Fill the bottle twice with tap water and pour it into the water reservoir.

Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner by Nu Calgon is available at appliance repair shops, or through

GE Parts and Accessories. Order part number WX08X42870. In the U.S.A., call 800.626.2002 or visit GEAppliances.com. In Canada, call 1.888.880.3030.

6.Push the selector switch to CLEAN.

The light will turn on, indicating that the cleaning cycle is in process.

7. When the indicator light turns off (approximately 45 minutes), the cleaning cycle is complete. During the cleaning cycle, the system will both clean and rinse itself.

8.After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove the drain cap from the water pan to see if any cleaning solution is left in the water pan. If cleaning solution drains from the water pan, you should run the clean cycle again.

NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require repeated cleaning with a fresh quantity of cleaning solution.

9.Push the selector switch to ON to resume ice production.
