Filtering and treating water
In most areas it will be beneficial to filter or
treat the water being supplied to the ice
machine. It can improve the reliability of the
machine, reduce water system maintenance
and produce the best quality of ice.
The installation of a polyphosphate feeder will
generally reduce scale build-up and the ice
machine will require less frequent cleaning.
Vacation and moving care
To shut down the ice maker:
1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF.”
2. Remove all ice from storage bin
3. Shut off the water supply.
4. Remove two screws from base of front grilk
then remove front grille.
Note:

Municipal water systems are generally treated
with chlorine to maintain a safe potable water
supply. Activated carbon filters will sufficiently
remove the residual chlorine from the water to
reduce surface staining of stainless steel mate-
rials in the ice machine.
For information on filtering and treating the
water, see the dealer from whom you pur-
chased your ice maker or your WHIRLPOOL
Franchised TECH-CARE” service company.
