CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, 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 shouldn’t be done
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not 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 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 ice maker is left unused for a long time, befo
re the next
use it must be thoroughly cleaned.
Follow carefully any
instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing
solutions
. Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after
cleaning.
Before proceeding with
cleaning and maintenance operations,
make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected and the
water line is shut off.
