CARE AND MAINTENANCE

FAILURE TO UNPLUG THE ICE MAKER PRIOR TO CLEANING, MOVING, OR SERVICING COULD

RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY.

 CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, performance and long life.

Exterior Cleaning

The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution (1oz dishwashing

liquid to 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.

Interior Cleaning

The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the icemaker is

used for the first time and after an extended period of non-use. It is usually convenient to sanitize the

trough after the ice making system has been cleaned and ice storage bin is empty.

1. Disconnect power to the unit

2. Open the door and take out the ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit

with a sanitizing solution (2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of warm water).

3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water

4. Clean the ice storage bin and replace back inside the unit.

5. Reconnect power to the unit.

6. The ice scoop should be washed regularly.

Note: Never keep any foreign objects in the ice storage bin. Items such as wine or beer bottles are not

only unsanitary, the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.

DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. The cleaners may transmit

taste to the ice cubes or damage the interior.

Condenser Cleaning

A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice-making

capacity and causes increased operating temperatures that may lead to

component failure. Have the condenser cleaned as least once every six months.

1. Unplug the icemaker or disconnect power

2. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front cover. Remove cover.

3. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the compartment with a

vacuum’s brush attachment.

4. Reassemble the front cover. Reconnect power.

Water Distribution Tube Cleaning

When ice cubes are formed incomplete or when output of ice is slow, the water distribution tube may be

blocked. Set the unit switch to OFF position and gently remove the water distribution tube. Use a

toothpick or similar tool, dredge the tube and replace tube back to original position. If the tube is badly

blocked, turn off water supply and disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube. Use a brush and

clean the tube with a diluted solution of warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and replace.

Reconnect the water supply.

Ice-Making System Cleaning

Minerals that are removed from the water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly

deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. The

frequency depends on how hard your water is or how effective your filtration may be. With hard water of

15 to 20 grains/gallon, you may need to clean the system once every six months.

1. Make sure all ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being made, wait for the cycle to complete. Turn the
