Interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized
occasionally.
Clean the 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 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 the unit with a sanitizing
solution
made of 1 ounce of household
bleach
and 2
gallons of hot water (95°F to 115°F).
3.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
4.
Connect a hose to the drain outlet at the rear of the unit to drain water 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.
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 on the front cover and
gently pull it off.
3. Locate the condenser
filter. This can be lifted out and

4. Remove dirt and lint from condenser
fins and the unit
compartment
with a brush attachment
on a vacuum

5. Put back the filter and reassemble
the front cover.
6. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power.
