Using the Controls
1. To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.
2. To stop ice maker operation, select OFF.
NOTE:
■ Pressing the ON/OFF switch does not shut off power to
the ice maker.
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first batch produced.
Holiday Mode
The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for those
whose religious observances require turning off the lights and the
ice maker. By selecting this feature, ice production will be
disabled and the interior lights will turn off.
Press and hold the Holiday Mode button to turn on the Holiday
Mode feature. Press and hold the button again to turn off the
feature.
Service
The service light indicates when service is needed. If the service
light turns on, turn the ice maker off and back on. If the service
light turns on again, call for service.
Clean/Reset
The Clean/Reset Mode is designed to run the ice maker through
the cleaning cycle. To clean your ice maker, see “Ice Maker
System” in the “Cleaning” section. It is recommended that you
clean the ice maker at least once per year. In hard water areas
this may need to be done more often. If there is a significant drop
in ice production your ice maker should be cleaned.
ICE MAKER CARE
Cleaning
The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be
cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency
and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the
“Ice Maker System” and the “Condenser” sections.
Exterior Surfaces
Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water
and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good
household appliance cleaner and wax will help protect the finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they may
scratch the finish.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on the
stainless steel surfaces.
Ice Maker System
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 15 to 20 grains/gal.
(4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as
every 6 months.
NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker
cleaner. To order, call 1-800-442-9991 and ask for Part Number
8171307. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.
1. Push the selector switch to OFF.
2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin.
Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan
located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to
drain completely.
4. Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain
cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will
have either thin ice or no ice.
5. Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle
before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL)
bottle of approved ice maker cleaner.
6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the bottle
twice with tap water and pour it into the water pan.
7. Press and hold the CLEAN button. See “Using the Controls.”
The light will blink, indicating that the cleaning cycle is in
process. When the indicator light turns green (approximately
70 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 and remove the water pan drain pump by
turning it one-quarter turn and pulling down. Look for any
cleaning solution left in the water pan. If cleaning solution
drains from the water pan, you should run the clean cycle
again. Be sure to replace the drain cap and drain pump
securely on the water pan. If the drain cap or pump is loose,
water will empty from the water pan and you will have either
thin ice or no ice.
NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require repeated cleaning with
a fresh quantity of cleaning solution.
