Water Distribution Tube cleaning
When you find that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of
ice cubes is low, the water distribution tube may be blocked. Set the
ICE/OFF/WASH switch to OFF, rotate the water distribution tube, and
locate the holes in the distribution tube. Using a toothpick or similar tool,
dredge the holes, then rotate the water distribution tube back to its
original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:
1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.
3. Lift the right side, then remove the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a
mild detergent such as dishwashing liquid. After removing the dirt and lint
from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water.
5. Replace the distribution tube.
6. Reconnect the water supply
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
ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin .
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply , Pour 200g. of
Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner Solution into the water trough. After
about 5 minutes, initiate the wash cycle at the ICE/OFF/WASH
selector switch by the switch in the “WASH ”position. The machine will
run the Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, turn the machine
“OFF” at the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch, Drain off the waste
water to some container by drain pipe in the left of the water trough.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Solution) to rinse
the ice making system 3 times.
Note: The use of the Ice Maker Cleaner Solution in the
water bin during the rinse is not needed.
6. 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.
7. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and
edges making sure to cover all surfaces with the solution.
8. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry.
9. Repeat step 5 to rinse the ice making system one more time.
10. Place the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch to the “ICE ” position. The
machine will return to the regular ice making mode. Discard the first
batch of ice.
