Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity,
and causes higher than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to
component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every three months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Unscrew the screws on the front cover.
3. Grasp the underpart of the right and left side, rise a little, and then pull down.
Notice: Don’t overexert the panel removal, the leads connected to the power switch can be
damaged or torn from the switch.
4. Locate the condenser surface.
5. Remove dirt and lint from the
condenser fins and the unit
compartment with a brush attachment
on a vacuum cleaner.
6. Reassemble the front cover.
7. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect
power.
Interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the bin before the ice
maker is used for the first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of
time. It is usually convenient to sanitize the bin after the ice making system has
been cleaned, and the storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and with a clean cloth, wipe down the interior with a
sanitizing solution made of 1oz (29.5ml) of household bleach or chlorine
and 2 gallons (7.5L) of hot water 95ºF (35°C) to 115ºF (46°C).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. The waste water will be drained off
through the drainpipe.
4.
Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food
container.
Condenser

easily damaged.
