Cleaning
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturer’s recommendations.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild
nonabrasive detergent and warm solution applied with a
soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste
and/or odor to the interior products and damage or discolor
the interior.
NUGGET ICE MACHINE CLEANING CYCLE
This ice machine has an automatic clean alert function.
The control will indicate
CL in the display, reminding you
to clean your unit. When
CL is displayed, ice production
will continue. Depending on water conditions, more
frequent cleaning may be necessary: see chart below.
Cleaning removes lime scale, other mineral deposits, and
sanitizes the machine. Poor ice quality and reduced ice
output are signs that cleaning is necessary.
Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water
solution. 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.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish
monthly. For best results use Claire
®
Stainless Steel
Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that
could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on
any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specically intended for
stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this
includes glass, tile, and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
®
or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser
®
and
a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always
nish with Claire
®
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or
comparable product to prevent further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.
