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.

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.
