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:
1. The exterior
2. The interior
3. The condenser
4. Water distribution tube
5. 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. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe
with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting.
If the door panel is stainless steel, 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.
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.
1. Disconnect the power to the unit.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations,
make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected and the
water line is shut off.
