CLEANING THE ICE STORAGE BIN
T
he ice storage bin should be sanitized occa-
sionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the
bin after the ice making system has been
c
leaned, and the ice storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of one ounce
of household bleach and two gallons of hot
95˚F–115˚F (35˚C–45˚C) water. Use a clean cloth
and wipe the interior of the ice storage bin
with the sanitizing solution; pour some of the
solution down the drain and allow it to air dry.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER
The condenser should be vacuumed two to
three times per year to remove any lint that
may have been drawn into the condenser.
To access the condenser, use a phillips head
screw driver to remove the kickplate/grille.
Then, using a soft bristle brush, vacuum to
remove dust and lint from the condenser. Refer
to the illustration below for location of the
condenser.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid bending the
condenser fins, be sure to vacuum in the
direction of the fins (up and down).
CLEANING
Make sure that the outside of the unit and
door, ice storage bin, condenser, ice making
s
ystem and ice scoop are kept clean.
N
ever allow the ice maker to operate without
regular cleaning. The ice maker will last longer
if it is kept clean. Regular cleaning should be
d
one at least once per year, and preferably
twice. Some water conditions will dictate more
frequent cleaning of the ice making system
and some carpets or pets will dictate more
frequent cleaning of the condenser.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door
and handle as they occur. If anything spilled on
the door or gasket dries onto the surface, wash
with soap and warm water to remove. Always
use a nonabrasive cloth or pad.
To clean the exterior of a stainless steel model,
use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner
like Signature Polish (see side note) and apply
with a soft 100% lint-free cloth.

For maintenance and cleaning, it is
recommended that the circuit breaker to
the unit or the on/off control be shut off.
Failure to clean the condenser could
result in temperature loss or mechanical
failure or damage.
