MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
In some areas the water supply to the ice maker
will have a great deal of minerals in it, and that will
result in an evaporator and auger becoming
coated with these minerals, requiring a more
frequent removal than twice per year. If in doubt
about the condition of the evaporator and auger,
the auger can be removed so the parts can be
inspected.
