EXTERIOR CLEANING
Stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas,
pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and pol-
ish monthly. For best results use Claire
®
Stainless Steel
Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that
could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool ads.Do not use cleaners not
specically intended for stainless steel on stainless steel
surfaces (this includes glass, tile, and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
®
or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser
®
and
a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always
nish with Claire
®
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or
comparable product to prevent further problems.
!
CAUTION
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will cause
the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred. Rust
not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the
stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be
possible.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild
nonabrasive detergent and warm solution applied with a soft
sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean potable
water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. These
types of cleaners may transfer taste and/or odor to the
interior products and damage or discolor the interior.
NUGGET ICE MACHINE CLEANING CYCLE
This ice machine has an automatic clean alert function. The
control will indicate in the display, approximately every
six months with normal use, reminding you to
clean your unit. When is displayed, ice production will
continue. Depending on water conditions, more frequent
cleaning may be necessary. Cleaning removes lime scale,
other mineral deposits, and sanitizes the machine. Poor
ice quality and reduced ice output are signs that cleaning
is necessary. If the machine consistently requires more
frequent cleaning, consult a plumber to test the water
quality and recommend appropriate treatment.
