If the ice maker is left unused for a long time, before the next use it must
be thoroughly cleaned Follow carefully any instructions provided for
cleaning or use of sanitizing solution Do not leave any solution inside the
ice maker after cleaning
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 other than ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not
only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain
WHAT SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN
There are 4 things to keep clean:
1 The exterior
2 The interior
3 Water distribution tube

dishwashing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners
