Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, performance and life expectancy of
the ice maker. 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.
IMPORTANT:
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine or beer bottles are not only
unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and clog up the drain.
There are 5 things to keep clean:
• The exterior
• The interior
• The condenser
• Water distribution tube
• The ice-making system
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.
Interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough 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 trough after the ice making system has been cleaned and the ice storage bin is empty. Do
not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of
the unit with a sanitizing solution made of 2 tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm or hot
water.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. Put the cleaned and empty ice storage bin back inside the unit.
5. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity and may lead to
component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front
cover and gently pull it off.
3. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the
unit compartment with a brush attachment on a
vacuum cleaner.
4. Reassemble the front cover.
5. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.
Water Distribution Tube cleaning
When you find that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of ice cubes is low, the water
CAUTION
The ice maker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been left unused for a long time.
