Cleaning
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never keep anything in the ice stor-
age bin that is not ice; objects like wine or beer bottles are
not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up
the drain.
Never allow the ice maker to operate without regular
cleaning. The ice maker will last longer if it is kept clean.
Regular cleaning should happen at least once per year,and
preferably twice. Some water conditions will dictate even
more frequent cleaning of the ice making section, and
some carpets or pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of
the condenser.
Make sure that the outside cabinet and door, ice storage
bin, condenser, ice making system and ice scoop are kept
clean.
Cleaning the Exterior
If you have purchased a stainless steel model, use a soft,
non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner you may purchase
locally to wipe down the exterior. If you have difficulty
finding a good cleaner, try Signature Polish from Signature
Limited Laboratory, P.O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413-
0436; 877-376-5474.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and handle
as they occur. If anything spilled on the door or gasket
dries onto the surface, wash with soap and warm water to
remove. Always remember to use a non-abrasive cloth or
pad.
Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. It is
usually convenient to sanitize the bin after the ice making
system has been cleaned, and the storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 ounce of household
bleach and two gallons of hot (95˚F - 115˚F) water. Use a
clean cloth and wipe the interior of the ice storage bin with
the sanitizing solution, pour some of the solution down the
drain. Allow to air dry.
Cleaning the Condenser
The condenser is like the radiator on a car, it has fins and
tubes that can become clogged. To clean:
1) Remove the kickplate/grille.
2) Locate the condenser surface.
3) Vacuum the surface, removing all dust and lint.
4) Replace the kickplate/grille.
