CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER AND WATER DISPENSER 

To ensure the cleanliness of the ice, water in the reservoir should be replaced every 24 hours.  

1.  Remove the drain plug to drain remaining water from the water reservoir when the unit will not be used for 

long period of time. Place the drain plug back in after the water has been drained.  

2.  Always use potable or drinkable water.  

3.  Please clean your unit regularly. When cleaning, unplug the unit and remove ice. Do not spray unit with 

chemicals or diluted agents such as acids, gasoline or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.  
 

EXTERIOR CLEANING 

The unit may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz.(28g) 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.  

INTERIOR CLEANING 

When necessary, defrost and thoroughly clean the inside of the unit with mild soap and water. Do not use electrical 
heating devices, sharp or pointed tools when defrosting.  

When defrosting or leaving open the unit turned off, leave the ice bin access lid and water reservoir door open.  

This allows air to dry the inside of the unit, reducing the chance for mildew and damage to the mold mechanism’s 
components.
