CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance and long life.
There are four areas to keep clean:
a. The exterior
b. The interior
c. The sprinkler
d. The ice making system
NOTE: If the ice maker is left unused for a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned before the next use.
Carefully follow any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution. DO NOT leave any
solution inside the ice maker after cleaning.
NOTE: Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, ensure the power supply is
disconnected and the water line is shut off (the exception to this rule is ice maker system cleaning detailed
on page 12).
NOTE: Please read the detailed instructions below to properly clean each of the aforementioned areas.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
1. The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as one
ounce of dishwashing liquid mixed with two gallons of warm water. DO NOT use solvent-based or
abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to
prevent spotting.
2. Stainless steel should be cleaned as it can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas. Clean stainless
steel surfaces with a mild detergent, warm water solution and a damp cloth. NEVER use abrasive
cleaning agents.
NOTE: Stainless steel exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as in areas with spas or swimming
pools, may show some discoloration. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
INTERIOR CLEANING
NOTE: The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the bin before the ice maker is
used for the first time and before it is reused after an extended period of time. It is typically convenient
to sanitized the bin after the ice making system has been cleaned and the storage bin is empty. The ice
scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food container.
1. Disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Open the ice storage bin door and with a clean cloth, wipe down the interior with a sanitizing solution
made of 1 ounce household bleach or chlorine and two gallons of hot water (95 - 115 °F / 35 - 46 °C).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. The waste water will drain through the drainage tube.
4. Plug in the ice maker.
