Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure eciency, top performance, and long life. The
exterior of the unit should be cleaned, as necessary. The interior of the unit and the condenser should
be cleaned monthly.
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such as 2
tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of 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 can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel using a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic cleaning agent. Commercially
available stainless steel cleaners may also be used to clean the door.
In some environments (i.e. coastal areas) where salt content in the air is high, rust stains may appear on
the exterior. Any rust must be removed as quickly as possible to prevent damage to the surface of the
unit. A commercial stainless steel cleaner or a 15% nitric acid solution is recommended.

Monthly Maintenance
The ice maker’s interior should be cleaned monthly to remove normal build-up and grime. Clean the
interior with a solution of mild detergent and warm water such as 1 ounce of dishwashing liquid mixed
with 2 gallons of warm water. Use a soft sponge and nylon brush for cleaning. Rinse all surfaces with
clean water.
The condenser should also be cleaned monthly to remove dust and hair. A household or portable
vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment should be used to clean the condenser.
