Icemaker

Unplug the icemaker before cleaning.

Caring for your icemaker

The icemaker MUST be regularly inspected and cleaned to keep it operating at peak efficiency. Every time the icemaker is turned off, you MUST clean the icemaker system with Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. 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 ge.com. In Canada, call 1.888.880.3030.

IMPORTANT: Do not follow the cleaning directions that are printed on the cleaner bottle. Do not use the suggested amounts, but use the entire bottle to clean the unit. See Care and Cleaning—Icemaker system section.

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.

Exterior surfaces

Door handles and trim—Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the icemaker with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can damage the finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.

Stainless steel—Regularly clean and polish the stainless steel door panels and handles (on some models) with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic™ to preserve and protect the fine finish. Stainless Steel Magic is available through

GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or ge.com. Order part number WX10X15.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
