Cleaning & Maintenance
Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended that you clean the ice
maker thoroughly. Be sure to clean the ice maker regularly.
1. When cleaning, please make sure the power has been turned off and the plug
is disconnected from the outlet. When plugging or unplugging the unit from
the outlet, pull directly on the plug. NEVER pull on the power cord.
2. Remove the ice storage basket.
3. Drain the remaining water from the unit by unplugging the drain plug on the
front bottom side. When cleaning is completed, the plug must be properly
inserted back onto the drain otherwise the ice maker will leak.
4. Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water and wipe with a soft towel or
sponge.
• Solvents, detergents and abrasives must never be used for cleaning.
5. Wipe the inner parts, such as the ice storage basket, water reservoir, water
box, ice pusher and evaporator rods.
6. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild deter-
gent solution, warm water and a soft cloth.
7. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
8. To begin making ice once the unit has been cleaned, pour clean water into the
water reservoir and fill up to the level line (see "How to Use" instructions, p. 6)
• NEVER tilt or place the ice maker on its side, otherwise you must wait
2 hours for compressor coolant to settle.
9. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, the water in the water storage
tank should be replaced every 24 hours.
10. When the machine is not in use or will not be used for an extended period of
time, pull out the drain plug (on the bottom near the front of the machine) to
empty the remaining water in the water reservoir completely. (Follow instruc-
tions in #3 above.)
