brush to remove any thick or stubborn residue and to help the dissolving action.
Rinse under a stream of tap water.
8. Wipe down the interior of the water sump with the de-scaling solution and warm water.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
9. Reassemble all the parts of the sprinkler, slideway and row of flake covers.
10. Perform steps 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8 of the Ice Making System Cleaning procedure below.
Ice Making System Cleaning
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 or how
effective your filtration may be. 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.
1. Turn off power to the ice maker. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply
and drainpipe.
2. Open the door and scoop out all of the ice cubes. Either discard them or save them in
an ice chest or cooler.
3. Grasp the right and left sides of the front cover，
raise it a little and pull forward to remove the front
cover. Locate the control box.
NOTES: Do not use too much force, as the top side
of the front cover can be inadvertently damaged by
the lower corner of the door.
Use care in the area of the control box. Do not expose it to moisture.
4. Turn on the power to the ice maker. Pour 8 oz. of
Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner solution into the water sump. Add 8 oz. of tap water.
After about 5 minutes, press down the “Clean” button on the Control Box.
(See figures here and on page 24.) The machine will run the Automatic Clean Mode.
5. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, shut off the power switch, and
unscrew the bleeder plug on the rear of the unit. Drain off the waste water to some
container, and then screw the bleeder plug tightly when the waste water is fully drained off.
