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.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other
utensil.
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on
the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice
cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.

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 six months.
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 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot
water (95º to 115ºF).
3. Pull the drain hose through to drain off all water.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
5. After draining off all water, put back the drain hose back in its
original location.
6. Put the cleaned and empty ice storage bin back inside the unit.
7. Reconnect power to the unit.
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. Locate the condenser filter. This can be lifted out and cleaned
with a brush or flowing water.
