icemaker
Both the ice making system and the air cooled
condenser need to be cleaned regularly. The
minerals rejected from the circulating water
during the freezing cycle will eventually form a
hard scaly deposit in the water system which
prevents a rapid release of the ice from the
freezing plate.

Care and Cleaning

Clean the ice and water system periodically to
remove mineral scale buildup. Frequency of
cleaning depends on water hardness. With
hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal. [4 to 5
grains/liter]), cleaning may be required as
frequently as every 6 months.
For best performance, brush or vacuum lint
and dirt from the condenser once a year.
Unscrew the grille on the bottom front of the
cabinet to access the condenser.
Models with a stainless steel exterior can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner using a clean, soft cloth. Do not
use appliance wax or polish on the stainless
steel.
6. Push the selector switch to CLEAN. The
light will turn on indicating that the cleaning
cycle is in process.
7. 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.
