Maintenance
BIN LIGHT
If the ice machine is shut down for a long period of time the
bin light cover must be cleaned and sanitized. The light is
provided for your convenience. If you experience operational
problems with the light a replacement appliance bulb can be
obtained from your local hardware store.
WATER FILTER
To replace the water filter incoming water does not need to
be turned off. This system is equipped with an internal
shut-off valve.
1. Turn cartridge slowly to the left, about 1/4 turn, until it
stops. At this position, both inlet and outlet ports are
closed and water pressure has been relieved.
2. Pull used cartridge forward to remove, then discard.
There may be a small amount of residual water drainage
after pressure is relieved and during cartridge removal.
3. Remove cap from top of new cartridge and push new
cartridge into filter head. Turn cartridge 1/4 turn to the
right until it stops. Top surface of cartridge will become
flush with bottom of the head when fully engaged.
4. Run a 3-minute fill cycle of the ice machine to flush the
filter. Then power off unit and restart to begin a new fill
sequence and ice making cycle.
5. Press and hold the "Clean" button for 6 seconds to reset
the counter and de-energize the filter light.
ICE MACHINE INSPECTION
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make sure
the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating against
other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) in front of the ice machine.
There must be adequate airflow through and around the
ice machine to maximize ice production and ensure long
component life.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary
to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice machine
with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Clean up any fallen ice or water spills as they occur.

CLEANING THE CONDENSER
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively
high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production
and shortens component life.
• Clean the condenser at least every six months.
• Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for dirt
between the fins.
• Compressed air can be blown through the condenser fins.
This procedure will raise considerable dust and is best
performed outside. Be careful not to bend the fan blades.
• If dirt or grease remains between the fins or the
condenser fins are bent or flattened, consult your service
representative.
Removal from Service/Long Term Storage/
Winterization
1. Perform a cleaning and sanitizing procedure to prevent
mildew growth.
2. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker or
the electric service switch.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Remove the water from the water trough.
5. Disconnect and drain the incoming ice-making water line
at the rear of the ice machine.
6. Disconnect vinyl hose from water pump and allow to
drain.
7. Make sure water is not trapped in any of the water or
drain lines. Compressed air can be used to blow out the
lines.
8. Use a spray bottle and a solution of sanitizer/water
(0.50 oz/ 1 gal) and spray all interior surfaces. Do not
rinse, allow to air dry.
