Maintenance Section 4
Cleaning the Air Filter and Condenser
The washable filter on self‑contained ice
machines is designed to catch dust, dirt, lint
and grease. Clean the filter once a month
with mild soap and water.
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting
in excessively high operating temperatures.
This reduces ice production and shortens
component life.

Warning
Disconnect electric power to the ice
machine at the electric service switch
before cleaning the air filter or the
condenser. The condenser fins are sharp;
Use care when removing or installing the
air filter.
• Clean the condenser at least every six
months.
• Shine a flashlight through the condenser
to check for dirt between the fins.
• Blow compressed air or rinse with water
from the inside out (opposite direction
of airflow).
• If dirt still remains, call a service agent to
clean the condenser.
