5.Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, 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: The CLEAN setting is used whenever solutions are circulated through the ice maker for cleaning. Only the water pump and compressor operate at this setting. See the “Ice Maker System” section.

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 prevent 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.

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 need 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 1-800-442-9991and 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 storage 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.

7.Push the selector switch to CLEAN. (See the “Using the Controls” section.) The light will turn on, indicating that the cleaning cycle is in process. When the indicator light turns off (approximately 45 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 to see if any cleaning solution is 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.

9.Push the selector switch to ON to resume ice production.
