This ice maker reduces the mineral level by circulating water during the ice production cycle (with excess water removed via the outlet tube). Each cycle requires just over 20 ounces (0.64 quart) of water. For each cycle, about 16 ounces (0.5 quart) is used in rinsing the water tank, with the remaining quantity removed through the outlet pipe. In this process, some impurities unavoidably remain. They may accumulate on the internal parts of the ice maker, forming abnormal ice pieces.

Ice The ice has a “top hat” shape (refer to Figure 10). Newly produced ice is clear and transparent. The inside of the ice is sometimes cracked; however, such cracks commonly occur in the production process and disappear with time. Ice stored in the container for a long time may gather frost on the outside and look cloudy. This is normal. Once water is poured on the ice, the frost will disappear.
10. Cleaning the Ice Maker All the exterior parts, door, ice container, condenser, water circulation parts, and ice scoop of the product should be kept clean. The ice maker should be cleaned periodically. Keeping the ice maker clean extends the lifespan of the product. Regular cleaning of the entire ice maker should be performed at least once a year.
Cleaning the Ice-Production System 1) Open the door and turn off the switch at the lower right front. 2) Remove all the ice and dispose of it or store it in a freezer. 3) Pour 4 ounces of a washing agent (liquid dishwashing detergent) into the water container of the ice maker. 4) Turn the switch to the “WASH” position. The process of automatic wash (2 minutes) and water circulation (4 minutes) will be repeated three times.
