7.Press the CLEAN button. See “Using the Controls.” The light will blink, indicating that the cleaning cycle is in process. When the indicator light turns green (approximately

70 minutes), the cleaning cycle is complete. During the cleaning cycle, the system will both clean and rinse itself.

8.After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove the drain cap from the water pan. Look for any cleaning solution left in the water pan. If cleaning solution drains from the water pan, you should run the clean cycle again. Be sure to 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.

NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require repeated cleaning with a fresh quantity of cleaning solution.
