Cleaning the Ice Machine
Some impurities will remain and build up in the ice machine
and stick to the ice machine’s parts over time. This build-up
must be removed for proper ice production, ice quality, and
ice machine life. Your ice machine is equipped with a clean-
ing mode that will help in cleaning out these impurities.
The impurities will need to be cleaned of this build-up
regularly (at the very least, annually), depending on use
and water hardness. Use a nickel safe ice machine cleaner,
including but not limited to the following brands. Ice ma-
chine cleaners are available at most appliance retailers or
through the cleaner manufacturers web site.
