General
The end user is responsible for maintaining this ice maker according to the instructions in this manual.
The maintenance procedure is not covered by warranty.
Basic sanitation and maintenance of the ice maker will increase the reliability and performance of your ice
maker and also reduce the consumption of water and electricity.
Managing the ice maker according to our instructions will minimize unwanted repairs that might occur while in use.
The table below shows the maintenance activities and their frequencies that the end user and the service
technicians should perform.
These figures are minimum requirements. If the water supplied to the ice maker is poor quality, the
evaporator must be cleaned more frequently. If the condenser air filter is completely clogged, it should be
cleaned more frequently, at least on a weekly basis.
