MAINTENANCE
)
A. CARE AND CLEANING:
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance,
and a longer operating life of the Mermaid I-3 Icemaker. We would recommend the
following:
1.
Periodically clean the interior with mild soap and warm water.
2.
Avoid use of solvent cleaners or abrasives on the interior. These chemicals could
transmit to the ice cubes.
3.
The exterior may be cleaned with “Sheila Shine” or WD-40. Use a small amount
of each as overuse of these products will create a film on the exterior of the
machine. This will not hurt the machine but will create a greasy feeling to you.
4.
The intake grill needs to be clear of all debris. Free air needs to be able to flow
through the louvered vents. The condensing coil located behind the vent should
be cleaned three to four times a year by using a small brush or vacuum. Be sure
not to damage the coils in the process.
CAUTION
THE CONDENSOR FINS ARE SHARP!! DO NOT RUN HANDS OVER THE
CONDENSOR FINS.
B. DEFROSTING:
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ANY ELECTRICAL HEATING DEVICE, ICE PICK, KNIFE, OR
ANY OTHER SHARP OBJECT TO ATTEMPT TO AID IN THE DEFROSTING
PROCESS. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE CORE OF THE MACHINE AND WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
Manual machines should be defrosted every eight weeks. However, this may not be
practical in areas of high heat/humidity and heavy usage. In these circumstances, it
will be necessary to defrost your unit whenever the frost thickness exceeds ¼”. To
