5.Sanitizing Procedure - Final
1)Using a clean funnel and hose, pour 1 qt (1 l) of sanitizing solution over the extruding head. Allow the appliance to sit for 10 minutes before operation.
2)Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
3)Allow the appliance to make ice for 20 minutes, then move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position.
4)Allow the water system to drain for 1 minute.
5)Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
6)After the gear motor starts, move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position.
7)Allow the water system to drain for 1 minute.
8)Move the control switch to the "ICE" position and allow the appliance to run. Check for leaks.
9)After 30 minutes, move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
10)Pour warm water into the storage bin to melt all of the ice, then clean the storage bin liner, door liner, and door gasket with a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
11) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process.
C. 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.
NOTICE
If the storage bin drain becomes clogged, water could build up in the bin and overflow, leading to costly water damage.
1)Move the control switch to the "OFF" position. WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch with damp hands.
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. IMPORTANT! For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately after dilution.
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 control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process.
