CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Ice Maker
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items.
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the ice box with the mild solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
Defrosting
Defrosting for this model is not needed.
The unit is equipped with a defrosting system to maintain an ice-free setting.
Minimal defrosting may be applicable if your unit is in heavy usage or it is stored in high humidity.
Do not attempt to defrost this unit with any type of heating device or sharp object. In doing such, this could
damage the insulation and would void the warranty.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance
if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of
time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
Vacation Time
Short vacations:
Leave the ice maker operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations:
If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the
appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open
slightly.
Moving Your Ice Maker
Remove all items.
Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
