Cleaning & Care
1. Stop the ice maker by pressing POWER (the POWER light will go out).
Unplug the ice maker from the outlet and allow the unit to warm up to
room temperature.
2. If the water tray is not in the vertical position behind the evaporator
fingers, gently push the water tray back so that all water drains into
the water reservoir.
3. Open the drain plug to drain out excess water.
4. Remove the basket. Wash the ice basket and scoop in warm soapy
water, rinse and dry.
5. Remove the water tube screen (at the bottom of the reservoir) and
rinse under running water.
6. Clean the inside of the reservoir with a soft cloth dampened with
warm water and vinegar. Rinse with a clean damp cloth.
7. Replace the drain plug and the water tube screen.
8. Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild
dishwashing soap, if necessary.
9. DO NOT CLEAN THE EVAPORATOR FINGERS.
10. Do not immerse any electrical appliance, its cord, or its plug, into
water.
11. Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly before reassembling and using
this appliance.
12. When the ice maker is not in use, or is being stored, ensure the
reservoir is completely dry to keep mold from forming. Store with the
drain plug open.
