3. The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after
each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is fu ll, the ice
maker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is
needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will
occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the
amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher
operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.

Using the Controls

1. To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.
2. To stop ice maker operation, select OFF.
NOTE:
■Pressing the ON/OFF switch does not shut off power to
the ice maker.
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first batch produced.

Holiday Mode

The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for those
whose religious observances require turning off the lights and the
ice maker. By selecting this feature, ice production will be
disabled and the interior lights will turn off.
Press and hold the Holiday Mode button to turn on the Ho liday
Mode feature. Press and hold the button again to turn off the
feature.

Service

The service light indicates when service is needed. If the service
light turns on, turn the ice maker off and back on. If the service
light turns on again, call for service.

Clean/Reset

The Clean/Reset Mode is designed to run the ice maker through
the cleaning cycle. To clean your ice maker, see “Ice Maker
System” in the “Cleaning” section. It is recommended that you
clean the ice maker at least once per year. In hard water areas
this may need to be done more often. If there is a significant drop
in ice production your ice maker should be c leaned.
ICE MAKER CARE

Cleaning

The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be
cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency
and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the
“Ice Maker System” and the “Condenser” sections.

Exterior Surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water
and mild soap or detergent. Wipe 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.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on the
stainless steel surfaces.

Ice Maker System

Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle
will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system.
Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale
buildup. How often you need to clean the system depends upon
how hard your water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal.
(4 to 5 grains/liter), you may n eed to clean the system as often as
every 6 months.
NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker
cleaner. To order, call 1-800-442-9991 and ask for Part Number
8171307. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.
1. Push the selector switch to OFF.
2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the stora ge bin.
Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan
located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to
drain completely.
4. Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain
cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will
have either thin ice or no ice.
5. Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle
before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL)
bottle of approved ice maker cleaner.
6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the bottle
twice with tap water and pour it into the water pan.
