Ice Machine Care
Cleaning
STAINLESS STEEL
To clean stainless steel surfaces of the ice machine, use
a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner like Signature
polish and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
Signature polish is available from Signature Limited
Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413, or call
877-376-5474.
To bring out the natural luster of the stainless steel, lightly
wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth
followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work should
follow the grain direction of the finish. Better results are
obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact with
the stainless steel.
Do not use a metallic or highly abrasive cleaner or
cloth, as this will scratch the stainless steel finish.
CONDENSER CLEANING
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively
high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production
and shortens component life. The condenser should be
cleaned every three to six months or after a prolonged
shutdown.
The condenser of the ice machine is located at the bottom
of the unit, behind the kickplate. Refer to the illustration
below. To clean, follow these steps:
1) Remove the four screws attaching the kickplate and tilt
forward. Clean kickplate openings before replacing.
2) Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush or
a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from top to
bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to bend the
condenser fins.
3) Using a flashlight, check for dirt between the fins. If dirt
remains between the fins or if the condenser fins are
bent or flattened, contact Sub-Zero factory certified
service.
Before cleaning the condenser, shut off power to the
unit at the control panel. Wear gloves to avoid injury
from sharp condenser fins.
