Water Cooled Models Over a prolonged period of time scale will form on the inside walls of the water condenser which must be removed. When scale forms the ice maker becomes less efficient and requires larger amounts of water for cooling. The scale is cleaned from the inside of the condenser walls with chemicals, It is recommended that the scale removal should be performed by your WHIRLPOOL ice maker dealer. Air Cooled Models

Thickness of the Ice can be varied by rotation of the inverted �L� shaped adjusting screw which IS located on the thickness control. The thickness control IS mounted on the lower freezing plate. One complete rotation of the adjusting screw varies the thickness approximately 1,�16�. To increase thickness turn the screw In a clockwtse dlrection. Maximum production of Ice In pounds will be obtained with the control set to produce Ice approximately 1./2� thick.
Adequate air must be allowed to flow through the flnned coils of the remote condenser A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper air flow resulting In reduced capacity of the ice machine and subjects the components of the unit to higher than normal operatlng temperatures. The condenser co11 should be Inspected approximately once J month and stiff and cleaned when necessary. Use a vacuum cleaner brush to remove the accumulation of tint and dirt.
In some areas it may be beneficial to filter or treat the water being supplied to the ice machlne to reduce water system maintenance (see Cleaning & Sanltlzlng the Ice Making System) and to produce the best type of tee For information on fllterlng and treating the water WHI R LPOOL commercial ice maker dealer see your
Impurities are rejected from the circulating water that freezes into ice. These impurities collect on the freezing mechanism and in the water system and form a hard scaly deposit. Generally this scale prevents a rapid release of the ice slab during the harvest cycle and may cause the warning light to start blinking and glow brighter. The water and ice making system, therefore, should be periodically cleaned and sanitized. The frequency of cleaning will depend on local water conditions and how rapidly scale accumulates.

Periodic inspection and cleaning is necessary to keep your Ice cube maker operating at peak efficiency and to assure a samtary Ice producing mechanism. Your WHIRLPOOL dealer IS well qualified to perform this service for you
Cleaning Solution - Mix a solution of powdered citric acid and hot water (see cleaning label on inside of top front panel for quantity to be used). Citric acid is available in most drug stores. Hot water should be used if possible as the citric acid will go into solution quicker and the cleaning itself is accomplished in less time. Commercial ice machine cleaners are also available in liquid form and should be mixed according to instructions on the label. These ice machine cleaners are available through commercial refrigeration supply houses. Sanitizer Solution Common laundry bleach mixed at a ratio of 1 oz. to a gallon of water will make an excellent sanitizing solution. 2. 3. Set service Remove switch to �off� position, bin.
