Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz
of dishwashing liquid mixed with 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. If the door panel is stainless finish, it can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and
moisture. Clean stainless finish with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water. Never
use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Ice Bin and Water Trough Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice maker is
used for the first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time. It is usually
convenient to sanitize the trough after the ice making system has been cleaned (see section Ice
Making System Cleaning) and the ice storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior
of the unit with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot
water (95º F to 115º F).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. Put the cleaned and empty ice storage bin back inside the unit.
5. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other utensil.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes
higher than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the
condenser cleaned at least once every six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front cover and gently pull it off.
3. Locate the condenser directly behind the front cover.
