CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE
Clean reminder:
A "CLEAN" reminder will occur every 6 months
to remind you that it may be time to clean your
appliance. Over time mineral build up on the cold
evaporator plate can occur which can adversely
affect the quality of your ice. This build-up is
dependent on your water source and usage. Normal
ice production will continue while the "CLEAN" reminder
is displayed. You may clear the "CLEAN" reminder at any
time by momentarily pressing the "ON/OFF" icon. When
reset, the "CLEAN" reminder will reset and not occur for
another 6 months. If you choose to clean the appliance at
this time, see the options menu section below.
Clean mode:
To ensure maximum performance and ice quality, it is
recommended to clean your ice machine once every six
months. This simple cleaning routine will also ensure water
and energy use continues at optimum efficiency.
NOTE
Homes with poor water quality or high clear ice usage
might require more frequent cleaning.
CAUTION
!
To clean your ice machine you will need to purchase a
"nickel safe" ice maker cleaner. Cleaner can be obtained by
contacting Lynx Grills Customer Service at 888.289.5969.
Once you have your cleaner:
Turn the ice machine off by pressing and holding
CLEAN
the "ON/OFF" icon for 3 seconds. "OFF" will be
displayed on the control.
Remove all ice from the ice bin (see Figure 27).
Drain the water from the water reservoir by removing the
black plug from the bottom of the fresh water reservoir (see
Figure 28). After the water is drained, replace the plug in
the bottom of the reservoir.
Allow all of the ice to fall from the evaporator plate
and remove any ice from the grid cutter. If there is ice
embedded in the grid cutter wires, wait for it to melt and
fall out. Do not try to remove ice that is embedded in
the grid cutter wires as that may break the wires. (See
Figures 21 and 22).
!
Forcing ice through the grid cutter will break the grid cutter
wires.
