Maintenance
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, the unit is used outdoors, or other special considerations.
What shouldn’t be done
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is notice: objects like wine or 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 condenser.
3. The interior.
4. Water distribution tube.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 ounce of dish
washing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a
soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. Stainless steel
models can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and should be cleaned. Clean stainless steel models with a
mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
NOTICE:
Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as areas with spas or swimming
pools, may have some discoloration of the stainless steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
If the icemaker 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 icemaker
after cleaning.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance
operations, make sure the power line of the unit is
disconnected and the water line is shut off (EXCEPTION:
icemaker system’s cleaning)
