CLEANING
In some installations the water supply to the ice
maker will be so concentrated with dissolved
minerals, (such as calcium carbonate) that as ice
is made, the evaporator and auger become
coated with the minerals, requiring a more
frequent cleaning than twice per year. If in doubt
about the condition of the evaporator and auger,
the auger can be removed so the parts can be
inspected.
Note: Water filters can filter out suspended solids,
but not dissolved solids. "Soft" water may not be
the complete answer. Check with a water
treatment specialist regarding water treatment.
Switch off electrical power, and shut off the
water supply.
For more information on removal of these
parts, see REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT.
1. To remove the auger, remove front and top
panel. If top panel cannot be removed, or if there
is less than 6" clearance over the top of the
machine, the gearmotor/evaporator may be slid
out for service access. See Removal And
Replacement.
2. Push bail clamp back and remove ice chute
cover.
3. Unscrew and remove ice sweep.
4. Loosen band clamp under ice chute, and
remove ice chute from evaporator.
5. Remove 4 allen head screws holding breaker to
evaporator.
6. Pull up on breaker to remove auger.
Allow the auger to dry, the stainless steel of the
auger and evaporator must be clean and bright.
Clean the auger and evaporator as required. DO
NOT HONE THE EVAPORATOR.
7. Replace the water seal.
8. Reverse to reassemble.
