Preventative Maintenance Cleaning Procedure
Perform this procedure as often as required for your
water conditions:
• Allows cleaning the ice machine without removing
all of the ice from the bin/dispenser.
• Removes mineral deposits from areas that are in
direct contact with water during the Freeze cycle
(reservoir, evaporator, auger, drain lines).
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation. Use cleaners designed for use with
stainless steel products.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads.
They will scratch the panels.

panel, scrap ice tray and grill with sanitizer & water
solution. Pour excess solution in scrap ice tray to clear
drain.

detergent. Rinse with clear water and dry with a clean
soft cloth.

with mild household dish-washing detergent and warm
water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
