10. Cleaning the Ice Maker
All the exterior parts, door, ice container, condenser, water circulation parts, and ice scoop of the product
should be kept clean. The ice maker should be cleaned periodically.
Keeping the ice maker clean extends
the lifespan of the product. Regular cleaning of the entire ice maker should be performed at least once a year.
The frequency of cleaning the ice-production system should be increased depending upon the water quality;
and increased further still if the user has carpets or keeps a pet in the vicinity of the product (due to pet hair).
Good water filtration, which is required to qualify for warranty coverage, helps keep the icemaker clean.
Cleaning the Exterior
If the surface of the door and handle becomes stained, clean at once. If the door and/or gasket have spots on
their surface, remove the spots using soap and warm water.
Use non-abrasive cloths or pads. In the case of
a stainless steel exterior, use a soft and non-abrasive stainless steel washing agent and a soft lint-free cloth.
[
WARNING
l
When performing maintenance work or cleaning, turn off the power switch or circuit breaker on the ice maker.
Cleaning
the Ice Container
The ice container should also be cleaned regularly. Mix 1 ounce of household bleaching agent with 2 gallons
of warm water at 952-1152
(3545°C) for use as a cleansing fluid. Moisten a clean cloth with the cleansing
fluid, scrub the inside of the ice container, and pour a small quantity of the fluid into the drain pipe. Then dry
the interior.
Cleaning
the Condenser
If the condenser is not cleaned regularly, the temperature may drop or the machine may experience
technical problems or sustain damage.
The condenser should be cleaned 2-3 times a year to remove any lint that has accumulated on the condenser.
When cleaning the condenser, remove the front lower panel and the kick plate/grill using a screw driver. Then,
remove any dust and lint from the condenser using a soft bristle brush. Using a vacuum cleaner to remove
the dust is recommended for easier cleaning.
CAUTION
Important
Information!
To avoid possible bending of the condenser fins, clean the condenser in the
direction of the fins (up and down).
