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. Make sure that all the ice is off of the evaporator. If ice is being made, wait for cycle completion, then turn the machine OFF at the power switch. 2. Keep the ice maker connected to water supply. Remove all ice from the storage bin. 3.

Pour 200g. of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner Solution into the water trough. After about 5 minutes, press the "CLEAN" button on the control panel. The machine will run the Automatic Clean Mode. 5. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, turn the machine "OFF" at the power switch, Drain off the waste water to some container by drain pipe in the left of the water trough. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Solution) to rinse the ice making system 3 times. ƒ Note: The use of the Ice Maker Cleaner Solution in the water bin during the rinse is not needed. 7. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95º to 115º F). Wipe the entire bin inside and out, covering every wall surface. 8. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and edges making sure to cover all surfaces with the solution. 9. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry. 10. Repeat step 6 to rinse the ice making system one more time. Reassemble the front cover. 11.
