Tempo Undercounter Ice Machine Bin

Cleaning
This ice machine has an automatic clean alert function.
The control will indicate
CL
in the display, approximately every six months with normal use, reminding you to
clean your unit. When
CL
is displayed, ice production will continue. Depending on water conditions, more frequent
cleaning may be necessary. Cleaning removes lime scale, other mineral deposits, and sanitizes the machine. Poor
ice quality and reduced ice output are signs that cleaning is necessary. If the machine consistently requires more
frequent cleaning, consult a plumber to test the water quality and recommend appropriate treatment.
Under normal conditions, cleaning should be done when the display shows
CL
. You may initiate a cleaning cycle
at any time by pressing and holding the clean button for 10 seconds.
01
will appear in the display indicating the start of the cleaning process.
You may override
CL
in the display without cleaning by pressing and holding the
+
,
–
, and buttons for 10
seconds.
ICE
will scroll in the display and the cleaning reminder (
CL
) will be reset for another approximate six
month cycle. Failure to clean may reduce the quality and quantity of ice produced. Once the clean cycle begins,
it can be canceled by pressing
three times. Press
once more to start making ice. The clean cycle will
automatically cancel if user fails to activate control at steps 7, 12, and 20 within 2 hours.
