CARE AND CLEANING
Periodically inspect and clean the icemaker to keep it operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature failure of system components.
Both the icemaking system and the
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
A dirty or clogged condenser:
•prevents proper air flow.
•reduces icemaking capacity.
•causes higher than recommended operating temperatures which may lead to component failure.
Cleaning Outside Surfaces
Wash the outside enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Rinse 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.
Cleaning the Condenser
WARNING:
• Be sure the icemaker is OFF and disconnected from the main power
supply. The icemaker could suddenly start if not disconnected. Condenser fan rotation, sharp condenser fins and hot tubing could cause personal injury.
•Condenser fins can bend easily. Use care when vacuuming the condenser to keep from bending the fins.
1.Disconnect the electrical power supply to the icemaker and turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF.”
2.Remove the screw from the top of the lower access panel and the two screws from the grille area of the lower access panel.
3.Pull forward at the bottom, then down to remove the panel.
4.Remove dirt and lint from the condenser fins and the icemaker compartment with a brush attachment attached to a vacuum cleaner.
5.Replace the lower access panel and screws. The top of the access panel needs to be secured under the two metal tabs before replacing the screws.
6.Plug icemaker in and turn the Cycle Control Knob to “ON.”
