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 dishwashing 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. If the door panel is stainless steel, it can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice
maker is used for the first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time. It
is usually convenient to sanitize the trough after the ice making system has been cleaned
and the ice storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down
the interior of the unit with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and
2 gallons of hot water (95º to 115ºF).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. Put the cleaned and empty ice storage bin back inside the unit.
5. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other utensil.

damage or discolor the interior.
