CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Ice Maker
• Turn the control to "OFF", unplug the appliance, and remove the ice bucket.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the ice bucket with a mild detergent solution.
• Wash the outside of the ice maker with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse
well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they become dusty or dirty. Keep front
grill free of dust and lint to permit free airflow.
• WARNING: Failure to unplug the ice maker before cleaning could result in electrical
shock or personal injury.
Defrosting Your Ice Maker
Ice maker should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice
maker is excessive (¼” thick or thicker). To defrost, turn the unit off, remove ice cubes,
and keep door open at least two inches. You may want to put a towel down to soak up any
water drainage caused by defrosting the unit.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your ice maker if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If
the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps
to disconnect your appliance.
Vacation Time/Storage
• Shut off the water supply at the main water valve.
• Disconnect the water supply line from valve.
• Allow unit to run for an hour or two until all remaining ice cubes have been ejected.
• Disconnect unit from main power source.
• Dry out excess water from ice maker interior.
• Leave the door open at least two inches.
Moving Your Ice Maker
• Remove any remaining ice.
• Securely tape down all loose items remaining inside your ice maker.

protect outside of ice maker with a blanket or similar item as needed.
Energy Saving Tips
• Locate your ice maker in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
