5) Ice Making Assembly System Cleaning
Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually form 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.
With hard water of 4 to 5 grains/liter, you may need to clean the system as
often as every 6 months.
