CLEANING AND 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, or
there are other special considerations.
What shouldn’t be done
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.
What parts should be kept clean
There are 5 things to keep clean:
Exterior cleaning
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.
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.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance
operations, make sure the power line of the unit is
disconnected and the water line is shut off.
