11. Wash the interior components (cutter grid, exterior of hoses,
and water pan) and the storage bin, door gasket, ice scoop,
and ice scoop holder with mild soap or detergent and warm
water. Rinse in clean water. Then clean the same parts with a
solution of 1 tbs (15 mL) of household bleach in 1 gal. (3.8 L)
warm water. Rinse again thoroughly in clean water.
NOTE: Do not remove hoses. Do not wash plastic parts in
dishwasher. They cannot withstand temperatures above
145°F (63°C).
12. To replace the water pan, set the water pan inside the ice
bin. Hook up the water pan pump. Snap the pump bracket
back onto the water pan and place back into position.
Secure the water pan by replacing the mounting screw.
13. Check the following:
• Drain cap from the water pan is securely in place. If the
drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan,
and you will have either thin ice or no ice.
• Hose from water pan is inserted into storage bin drain
opening.
14. Slide the cutter grid back into place and secure it by
replacing the right-hand screw and plastic spacer. Then
tighten the left-hand screw. Reconnect the cutter grid
harness and the ice level sensor harness.

16. Gently wipe the control panel with a soft, clean dishcloth
using warm water and a mild liquid dish detergent.
17. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended
period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the
ice maker.
Check that the water supply lines are insulated against
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can
increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice
maker or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by
the warranty.
