LIRE ET CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

⚠ WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The icemaker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your icemaker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the icemaker, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

How your icemaker works

When you first start your icemaker, the water reservoir will fill and the system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing process takes about five minutes.

Under normal operating conditions, the icemaker will cycle at preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located in the ice storage bin will monitor the ice levels.

IMPORTANT

• If the water supply to the icemaker is turned off, be sure to set the icemaker control to OFF. Drain the water reservoir and leave the icemaker door open to allow it to dry completely.
• Every time the icemaker is turned off, you MUST clean the icemaker system with Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. See Care and Cleaning—Icemaker system section for instructions.
• The icemaker is designed to make clear ice from the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.

Making Ice

1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected. This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low mineral content.

1. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual cubes.

Line drawing of a mechanical assembly with grid and layered components (no text or symbols)

1. The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.

2. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

3. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the icemaker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated and some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.

NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.

Unplug the icemaker before cleaning.

Caring for your icemaker

The icemaker MUST be regularly inspected and cleaned to keep it operating at peak efficiency. Every time the icemaker is turned off, you MUST clean the icemaker system with Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner by Nu Calgon is available at appliance repair shops, or through GE Parts and Accessories. Order part number WX08X42870. In the U.S.A., call 800.626.2002 or visit ge.com. In Canada, call 1.888.880.3030.

IMPORTANT: Do not follow the cleaning directions that are printed on the cleaner bottle. Do not use the suggested amounts, but use the entire bottle to clean the unit. See Care and Cleaning—Icemaker system section.

Both the ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly. The minerals rejected from the circulating water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system which prevents a rapid release of the ice from the freezing plate.

Clean the ice and water system periodically to remove mineral scale buildup. Frequency of cleaning depends on water hardness. With hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal. [4 to 5 grains/liter]), cleaning may be required as frequently as every 6 months.

Exterior surfaces

Door handles and trim—Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the icemaker with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can damage the finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.

Stainless steel—Regularly clean and polish the stainless steel door panels and handles (on some models) with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic ^™ to preserve and protect the fine finish. Stainless Steel Magic is available through GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or ge.com. Order part number WX10X15.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Icemaker system

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 reservoir located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to drain completely.

Drain cap Water reservoir

1. Replace the drain cap.
2. Use the entire 16 oz. bottle of Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner rather than the amount suggested on the bottle. Follow all safety precautions on the bottle. Pour one bottle of solution into the water reservoir. Fill the bottle twice with tap water and pour it into the water reservoir.

Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner by Nu Calgon is available at appliance repair shops, or through

GE Parts and Accessories. Order part number WX08X42870. In the U.S.A., call 800.626.2002 or visit ge.com. In Canada, call 1.888.880.3030.
6. Push the selector switch to CLEAN. The light will turn on, indicating that the cleaning cycle is in process.

1. When the indicator light turns off (approximately 45 minutes), the cleaning cycle is complete. During the cleaning cycle, the system will both clean and rinse itself.
2. After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove the drain cap from the water reservoir to see if any cleaning solution, green in color, is left in the water reservoir. If cleaning solution drains from the water reservoir, you should run the clean cycle again.

NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require repeated cleaning with a fresh quantity of cleaning solution.

1. Push the selector switch to ON to resume ice production.

Condenser

For best performance, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser once a year.

A dirty or clogged condenser:

• Prevents proper airflow.
- Reduces ice making capacity.
- Causes higher than recommended operating temperatures which may lead to component failure.

1. Unplug the icemaker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws in the lower access panel and the 2 screws from the base grille area of the front panel support. Pull forward to remove the lower access panel.
3. Pull the bottom forward and then pull down to remove the lower access panel.

3. Before using again, clean the icemaker and storage bin.

IMPORTANT: Every time the icemaker is turned off, you MUST clean the icemaker system with the Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. See Care and Cleaning—Icemaker system section for instructions.

1. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.

NOTE: All components of the icemaker are permanently lubricated at the factory. They should not require any additional oiling throughout the normal life of the machine.

Reverse Osmosis system

IMPORTANT: The performance of the icemaker may be affected when connected to a Reverse Osmosis system. An RO system may also reduce water pressure and affect the fill cycle, which is dependent on time and flow. The reduced water pressure (less than 20 psi) may cause the reservoir not to fill and flush properly during the ice making cycle.

Do not use copper tubing when the icemaker is connected to a Reverse Osmosis water system.
