CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
If the ice maker is left unused for a long time, before the
next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully any
instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution.
Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after cleaning.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure effi ciency, top performance, and long life. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if
you have pets, or there are other special considerations.
What Should Not Be Done
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin other than ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not
only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
What Parts Should Be Kept Clean
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The exterior
2. The interior
3. The condenser
4. Water distribution tube
5. The ice-making system
EXTERIOR CLEANING
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz of
dish washing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. 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.
Stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with
a mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
WARNING
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations,
make sure the unit’s power line is disconnected and the water
line is shut off. (EXCEPTION: Cleaning of ice making system).
