Ice Making System Cleaning
Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually from 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 every 6 months.

2. Open the door and scoop out all of the ice cubes. Either discard them or save them in an ice chest
or cooler.

front cover. Locate the control box.
NOTES: Do not use too much force, as the top side of the front cover can be inadvertently damaged
by the lower corner of the door.
Use care in the area of the control box. Do not expose it to moisture.
4. Turn on the power to the ice maker. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner solution into
the water sump. Add 8 oz. of tap water. After about 5 minutes, press down the “Clean” button on
the Control Box.
(See figures here and on page 24.) The machine will run the Automatic Clean Mode.
5. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, shut off the power switch, and unscrew the
bleeder plug on the rear of the unit. Drain off the waste water to some container, and then screw
the bleeder plug tightly when the waste water is fully drained off.
