Care and Cleaning
Icemaker
Condenser
For best performance, brush or vacuum lint
and dirt from the condenser once a year.
A dirty or clogged condenser:
• Prevents proper airflow.
• Reduces ice making capacity.
• Causes higher than recommended operating
temperatures which may lead to component
failure.
1. Unplug the icemaker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws in the lower access
panel and the 2 screws from the base grille
area of the front panel support. Pull forward
to remove the lower access panel.
3. Pull the bottom forward and then pull down
to remove the lower access panel.
4. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser
fins and the unit compartment with a brush
attachment attached to a vacuum cleaner.
5. Replace the lower access panel using the
4 screws.
6. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.

2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into
the storage bin. Remove all ice from the
storage bin.

as shown. Allow the water to drain completely.
4. Replace the drain cap.
5. Use the entire 16 oz. bottle of Nickel Safe

safety precautions on the bottle. Pour one
bottle of solution into the water reservoir.
Fill the bottle twice with tap water and pour
it into the water reservoir.

6. Push the selector switch to CLEAN.
The light will turn on, indicating that the
cleaning cycle is in process.
7. 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 reservoir to see
if any cleaning solution, green in color, is left
in the water reservoir. If cleaning solution
drains from the water reservoir, you should
run the clean cycle again.
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.
