DO NOT touch the condenser fins. They are sharp and can be damaged
easily.
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.
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 once every 6 months.

3.
Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator.
If ice is being made, wait until the cycle is
completed,
then turn the machine OFF at the Power switch.
Remove all ice from the storage bin.
Keep the ice maker connected
to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe
Ice Maker
Cleaner Solution into the water trough. After about 5 minutes, set the Power switch to ON. At
the same time press the Clean switch on the front of the unit, and the Clean indicator
light
will light, then initiate the Cleaning
cycle. The machine will run the Automatic
Clean Mode.
