8)Remove the thumbscrews attaching spout (A) to the evaporator assembly and lift off spout (A) and spout packing (A).

9)Pour the cleaning solution over the extruding head until the evaporator assembly and the reservoir are filled and the solution starts to overflow into the drain pan.

Note: If there is excess scale on the extruding head, fill the evaporator assembly and reservoir as described above, then use a clamp on the reservoir hose between the reservoir and evaporator assembly to block flow. Pour additional cleaning fluid over the extruding head until the evaporator assembly is completely full.

10)Using the thumbscrews, replace spouts (A) and (B) and spout packings (A) and (B) in their correct positions.

11)Allow the icemaker to sit for about 10 minutes before operation. If you placed a clamp on the reservoir hose in step 9, remove it before operation.

12)Move the flush switch to the “ICE” position, then turn on the power supply. Replace the top panel and the front panel in their correct positions. Make ice using the solution until the icemaker stops making ice.

13)Remove the front panel.

14)Move the flush switch to the “FLUSH” position to drain the remainder of the solution.

15)After the solution is drained, move the flush switch to the “ICE” position.

16)Replace the front panel in its correct position.

17)Open the water supply line shut-off valve, and supply water to the reservoir.

18)When the gear motor starts, remove the top panel and front panel. Turn off the power supply.

19)Drain out all water from the water line. See 4) through 6).
