#1 What shouldn’t be done?
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 plug
up the drain.
Never allow the machine to operate without regular
cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept
clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least
once per year, and preferably twice. Some water
conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning
of the ice making section, and some carpets or
pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the
condenser.
