CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE
If the ice maker
is left unused
for a long time, before
the next
use
it must
be
thoroughly
cleaned.
Follow
carefully
any
instructions
provided
for cleaning
or use of sanitizing
solution.
Do not leave any solution
inside the ice maker after cleaning.
Periodic
cleaning
and proper maintenance
will ensure efficiency,
top performance,
and
long life. The maintenance
intervals
listed are based on normal conditions.
You may want
to shorten
the intervals
if you have pets, or the unit is used outdoors,
or there are other
special considerations.
What shouldn't
be done
Never keep anything
in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects
like wine and beer
bottles are not only unsanitary,
but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
What should be kept clean
There are 4 things to keep clean:
1.
The exterior
2.
The condenser
3.
The interior
4.
The ice making system
Before
proceeding
with
cleaning
and
maintenance
operations,
make sure the power
line of the unit is disconnected
and the water
line is shut off (EXCEPTION:
Ice maker system cleaning).
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.
