Franklin Industries, L.L.C. fim35 Ice Maker User Manual


 
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 clear water.
4. Screw off the lower drainage nut located on the front of the unit to drain water
completely into a bucket.
5. Put the cleaned and empty ice storage bin back inside the unit.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food container.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity, and
causes higher than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component
failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front cover
and gently pull it off.
3. Locate the condenser filter. This can be lifted
out and cleaned with a brush or flowing water.
4. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser fins and
the unit compartment with the brush attachment
of a vacuum cleaner.
19
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on
the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice
cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.
