Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance,
and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions.
You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or the unit is used
outdoors, or there are other special considerations.
What shouldn't be done
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and
beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the
drain.

There are 4 things to keep clean:
1.
The exterior
2.
The condenser
3.
The interior
4.
The ice-making system
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water
solution such as 28g of dishwashing liquid mixed with 7.5L 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 models can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and
should be
cleaned. Clean stainless steel models with a mild detergent and warm water
solution and a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
NOTICE: Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as in
areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discoloration of stainless
steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure
the power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off
(EXCEPTION: Ice maker system’s cleaning).
