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 there are other special considerations.
Important Note:
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.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the
power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off.
Cleaning the exterior
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, it may 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.
