Cleaning the Ice Maker
System
NOTE: Use one 16 oz. (473 mL) bottle of NU-CALGON*
Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. To order, call 1-800-

1. Push the selector switch to OFF.
2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage
bin. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water
pan located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the
water to drain completely.
4. Replace the drain cap.
5. Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner
bottle before completing the steps below. Use one 16
oz. (473 mL) bottle of NU-CALGON* Nickel Safe Ice
Machine Cleaner.
6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the
bottle twice with tap water and pour it into the water
pan.
7. Push the selector switch to CLEAN. (See the “Setting
the Controls” section.) The light will turn on, indicating
that the cleaning cycle is in process. 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 pan to see if any cleaning solution is
left in the water pan. If cleaning solution drains from the
water pan, 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.
