Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance
operations, make sure the power line of the unit is
disconnected and the water line is shut off.
Exterior cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as
1 oz. of dishwashing liquid mixed with 2 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 water spotting.
If the door panel is stainless steel, stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas
and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent and warm water solution and a
damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Interior cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice
maker is used for the first time or when 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 the power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down
the interior of unit and ice bin with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household
bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons of hot (95ºF – 115ºF) water.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
4. Screw off the drainage nut to drain completely.
5. Put the ice storage bin inside the unit.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food container.
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the
interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes and
damage or discolor the interior.
