Ice Machine Care 10
Do not use a metallic or highly abrasive cleaner or
cloth, as this will scratch the stainless steel finish.
Cleaning
STAINLESS STEEL
To clean stainless steel surfaces of the ice machine, use
a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner like Signature
polish and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
Signature polish is available from Signature Limited
Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413, or call
877-376-5474.
To bring out the natural luster of the stainless steel, lightly
wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth
followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work should
follow the grain direction of the finish. Better results are
obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact with
the stainless steel.
CONDENSER CLEANING
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively
high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production
and shortens component life. The condenser should be
cleaned every three to six months or after a prolonged
shutdown.
The condenser of the ice machine is located at the bottom
of the unit, behind the kickplate. Refer to the illustration
below. To clean, follow these steps:
1) Remove the four screws attaching the kickplate and tilt
forward. Clean kickplate openings before replacing.
2) Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush or
a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from top to
bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to bend the
condenser fins.
3) Using a flashlight, check for dirt between the fins. If dirt
remains between the fins or if the condenser fins are
bent or flattened, contact Sub-Zero factory certified
service.
Before cleaning the condenser, shut off power to the
unit at the control panel. Wear gloves to avoid injury
from sharp condenser fins.
