CAUTION
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 solutions. 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 PARTS SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not only
unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz. of
dishwashing 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 can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent
and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice maker is used
first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time. It is usually convenient to sanitize the
trough after the ice making system has been cleaned, and the ice storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect the power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of
unit and ice bin with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons
of hot (95ºF – 115ºF) water.
3. Pull off the drain hose of the water trough to drain off all water.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
5. After draining off all water, put back the drain hose of the water
trough into the original location.
6. Put the ice storage bin inside the unit.
7. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly.
Wash it just like any other food container.
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The exterior
2. The interior
3. The condenser
4. Water distribution tube
5. The ice-making system
WARNING
WARNING
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is
disconnected and the water line is shut off.
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may transmit
taste to the ice cubes and damage or discolor the interior.
