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 on how hard
your water is or how effective your filtration may be. With hard water of 15 to 20
grains/ gallon (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every 3
months.
1. Set the power switch to OFF.
2. Remove all ice cubes from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice
Maker Cleaner Solution into the water tank.
4. Turn the power switch ON. Within 3 minutes, press the CLEAN button. The
machine will run the Automatic Clean mode. The green Ice Making and the yellow
Ice harvest LEDs will blink.
5. The cleaning cycle will continue for 30 minutes unless you press the power switch
(you can press the power switch to stop the cleaning cycle any time during the 30
minutes). After cleaning, the green Ice Making and yellow Ice Harvest LEDs go on
steady and the machine returns to Stand-by mode.
6. The dirty water must be drained out completely. Perform steps 2 and 3 in the
Interior Cleaning section.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 above three times to rinse the ice-making system completely.
NOTE: Do not add Ice Maker Cleaner Solution to the water trough during the
rinses.
8. If you want to make ice cubes after cleaning, turn off the power switch, drain off
the waste water, then turn on the power switch. The next ice-making cycle will
begin.
9. Discard the first batch of ice.
Sanitizing the Ice-Making System
1. Set the power switch to OFF.
2. Remove all ice cubes from the storage bin.
3. Prepare a sanitizing solution by mixing 1 oz. household bleach with 1 gallon of warm
water.
4. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Fill the water tank with the
sanitizing solution.
5. Turn the power switch ON. Within 3 minutes, press the CLEAN button. The machine
will run the Automatic Clean mode. The yellow Ice Harvest and the red Bin Full
LEDs will blink.
6. The cleaning cycle will continue for 30 minutes unless you press the power switch
(you can press the power switch to stop the cleaning cycle any time during the 30
minutes). After cleaning, the yellow Ice Harvest and the green Ice Making LEDs go
on steady and the machine returns to Stand-by mode.
