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
Power
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 up, then remove
the distribution
tube.

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.

regularly
helps
remove
the mineral
scale
