Whirlpool EHC511 - Manual (Page 3)

To Operate the Ice Maker;
1 Select ice thickness (Figure 1). The ice maker
has been pre set to produce ice approximately O"
thick,
while operating in a room ambient of
70T (21°C).
Operation in different ambient temperatures may
require
readjusting the control toward "THICK”
or "THIN."
Best operation will be obtained with ice 1/2” to
5/8” thick.
If operating in a warm room ambient (above 90°F
[32°C] ) DO NOT set control to maximum thick­
ness or the unit may malfunction.
2. To start the normal ice making cycle, turn service
or cycle switch to "ON.”
3. To stop ice maker operation, turn service or
cycle switch to "OFF."
4. The "CLEAN” setting is used whenever solutions
are circulated through the ice maker for cleaning.
Only the water pump operates at this setting.
GENERAL CARE AND CLEANING
Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to
keep it operating at peak efficiency and to prevent
premature failure of system components.
Both the ice making system and the air cooled
condenser need to be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning exterior surfaces:
Wasli the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets
with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Rinse
and dry. Regular use of a good household appliance
cleaner and wax will help protect the finish.
Note; Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on
enamel surfaces as they may scratch the finish.
Craning the condenser:
/\ dirty or clogged condenser;
• prevents proper air flow.
• reduces ice making capacity.
• causes higher than recommended operating
temperatures which may lead to component
failure.
To Clean ;
GRILLED
PANEL
1. Disconnect electrical power supply to the
machine or place the service switch in the "OFF”
position. The condenser fan should not operate
while removing dirt from the condenser.
2. Remove the two screws from the bottom of the
grilled front panel.
CAUTION: Switch must be in "OFF” position to
keep condenser fan from rotating. Do not touch
condenser fins. They are sharp. Refrigerant tubing
gets very hot during normal operation. Be careful.
3. Pull forward and down to remove the panel.

4. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser fins
with a soft brush and then use a vacuum cleaner to
remove
the dirt from the unit compartment
(Figure 3).
Caution: Condenser fins are sharp and can bend
easily. Use care when brushing the condenser to
keep from bending the fins. Condenser tubing gets
hot enough during normal operation to burn your
hand. Use care and do not touch the tubing.
5. Replace the grilled front panel and screws.
