Clear Ice Maker Cleaning Cycle
Interval - Every 3 Months
To maintain operational efficiency, clean the unit every three
months (depending on water conditions, more or less frequent
cleaning may be necessary). If the ice maker requires more
frequent cleaning, consult a qualified plumber to test the water
quality and recommend appropriate treatment.

CAUTION
5. Re-install the standpipe into the water trough.
6. Clean the Interior Bin as follows:
Use only U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner (Part No. 41978,
available from your dealer or direct from your local parts
distributor. To locate a parts distributor near you, visit
use this solution in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Use of any other cleaner can ruin the finish of the
evaporator and will void the warranty. Read and
•
•
Dilute one packet of CLR cleaner into two quarts of water.
Using a sponge or cloth, clean interior of ice bin, tubing and
door. This cleaner will remove all mineral deposits and
other contaminants from the surfaces.
understand all labels printed on the package before use.
•
Using a bottle brush, clean out the trough drain tube and
pump tubing where needed.
U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner is used to remove lime scale and other
mineral deposits. Refer to the following steps to initiate the self-
cleaning cycle.
IMPORTANT
• Model CLRCO2175 refrigerator will not operate during
the ice maker cleaning cycle. Remove all fresh food to
prevent spoilage.
Brush
•
Model CLRCO2175 ice production after the first
harvest may take longer after the cleaning cycle since
restoring the refrigerator temperature will take
precedence over ice production. Once the refrigerator
reaches its set-point temperature, ice making will
resume.
7. Place the unit into CLEAN mode by pressing and holding the
POWER button for 10 seconds while pressing the LIGHT
button three times.
CAUTION
Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator.
Damage may result.
8. When water begins flowing over the evaporator (approximately
3 minutes), pour 1 packet of CLR cleaner into the water trough.
The cleaning process will last approximately 45 minutes.
1. Turn the ice maker
Evaporator cover
off (allowing any ice
to melt off of the
evaporator) as
follows:
9. Following the cleaning process, sanitize the ice bin with a dilute
bleach solution. (1 Tablespoon bleach per gallon of water).
Dilute 1 tablespoon bleach in 1 gallon of warm water. Apply this
solution to the entire inside of the storage area. Then rinse
thoroughly with water.
2. Remove all ice from
the storage bin.
3. Remove evaporator
cover (Figure 21).

The unit will resume operation approximately 15 minutes after the
automated cleaning process is completed. The water fill valve will
energize, fill the water reservoir, and shut-off after three minutes.
The compressor begins to operate and water flows over the
evaporator assembly (ice cube tray). Initially, the water flow may
not be uniform, causing uneven sized cubes or water to spill into
the ice storage bin. This is a normal situation that will correct itself
within the first 24 hours of operation.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary to choose
cubes from the sample area for comparison when making
adjustments. If further adjustments are desired, repeat Steps 1
through 4.
The ice cube thickness is factory set for best overall performance.
The factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of
approximately 1/16" to 1/8" under normal conditions resulting in a
dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2" in depth. A fuller cube with
less of a dimple results in a thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge
becomes thicker, the tendency for the cubes to stay together as a
slab increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" may cause cubes to
overfill the ice bucket.
IMPORTANT
• Discard all ice produced in the first harvest.
•
Should power to the unit be interrupted during the
self-clean cycle, it will be necessary to repeat the
complete cleaning cycle after power is restored.

Defrosting
Automatic Defrost Models
Exterior Cleaning
Frost on the rear wall is normal and will melt during each off cycle.
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4” or more, manually defrost the
unit.
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models:
•
Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water solution.
Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft
sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean
towel to prevent water spotting.
•
•
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can also
produce frost.
•
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
CAUTION
Stainless Models:
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to
help speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture
the inner lining or damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use
any type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up
defrosting can cause personal injury and damage to the
inner lining.
•
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners
with bleach.
•
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good
quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner polish monthly. For best
results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can
be purchased from U-Line Corporation (Part Number 173348).
Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will
remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some
installations may require cleaning weekly.

help the unit defrost faster.
•
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the
stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be
possible.
6. Place the ice bucket back into the unit on top of the towel or
other absorbent material.
Interior Cleaning
