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. Stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean
stainless steel with a mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an
abrasive cleaning agent.
Interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the 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 and the storage
bin is empty.
1. Disconnect the power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable ice 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 (95ºF to 115ºF).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
4. Screw off the drainage nut to drain water completely into a bucket or a drain line through the
drain water hose if there is a drain line near the unit.
5. Put the ice storage bin inside the unit.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food container.
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives
on the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the
ice cubes and damage or discolor the interior.
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.
