1. Storage Bin Drain
In some conditions, slime may build up inside the storage bin drain and prevent water from draining properly. To prevent this buildup, perform the following procedure once every 3 months or as often as necessary for conditions.
1)Move the power switch to the "OFF" position.
2)Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3)Mix a batch of sanitizing solution by diluting 1.25 fl. oz. (37 ml or 2.5 tbs) of a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 2.5 gallons (9.5 l) of warm water. Using a chlorine test strip or other method, confirm that you have a concentration of about 200 ppm.
4)Slowly pour the sanitizing solution into the storage bin.
5)After all of the solution has drained, clean the storage bin liner with a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
6)Move the power switch to the "ON" position to start the automatic icemaking process.
