DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on
the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice
cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. They are sharp and can be
damaged easily.
Koldfront Built-in Ice Maker

Interior Cleaning

The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough
before the ice maker is used for the first time and reused after stopping for an
extended period of time. It is usually convenient to sanitize the trough after the
ice making system has been cleaned and the ice storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable storage bin. With a clean cloth,
wipe down the interior of the unit with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of
household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95º to 115ºF).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. Put the cleaned and empty ice storage bin back inside the unit.
5. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other utensil.

Condenser Cleaning

A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making
capacity, and causes higher than recommended operating temperatures that
may lead to component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every
six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front cover and gently pull it off.
3. Locate the condenser directly behind the front cover.
4. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser fins and the unit compartment with a
brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner.
5. Reattach the front cover.
6. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.
