Deep Cleaning and Sanitizing the Ice Maker
It is necessary to remove mineral build-up and sanitize the ice maker at least every 6 months to maintain
proper operation of the unit and keep it free from slime and bacteria so the ice is safe for consumption.
Minerals that are removed from the water during ice making will eventually form hard, scaly deposits in
the system, which will affect the unit’s performance. Slime and bacteria build-up will affect the taste and
cleanliness of the ice. Deep cleaning and sanitizing the system regularly helps remove mineral deposits and
unhealthy bacteria. Your ice maker may need to be deep cleaned and sanitized more often depending on your
water and environmental conditions.
To deep clean the ice maker, a Nickle-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner must be used to remove the mineral deposits in
the system. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the ice maker and leave behind harmful
residue. Alternatively, vinegar may be used to remove mineral deposits and is food safe. Vinegar concentration
will vary depending on the amount of mineral build up.
To sanitize the ice maker, a commercial ice maker disinfectant should be used. As a substitute, a solution of 1
part 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach) to 25 parts water may be used.
DO NOT get the cleaning or disinfectant solutions on any of the exterior surfaces as the solutions will damage
them. Follow all instructions on the cleaner and disinfectant containers. Always wear rubber gloves when
cleaning and disinfecting the ice maker.
Caution:
1) DO NOT spill cleaning or disinfectant solutions on exterior surfaces as they will cause damage
to the finish.
2) DO NOT use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
3) Follow all manufacturer instructions on the cleaner and disinfectant containers.
4) Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.
5) Discard the first batch of ice produced after cleaning.
Important:
• Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord.
