Cleaning
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturer’s recommendations.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild
nonabrasive detergent and warm solution applied with a
soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners.
These types of cleaners may transfer taste
and/or odor to the interior products and damage or discolor
the interior.
NUGGET ICE MACHINE CLEANING CYCLE
This ice machine has an automatic clean alert function.
The control will indicate
CL
in the display, approximately
every six months with normal use, reminding you to
clean your unit. When
CL
is displayed, ice production will
continue. Depending on water conditions, more frequent
cleaning may be necessary: see chart below. Cleaning
removes lime scale, other mineral deposits, and sanitizes
the machine. Poor ice quality and reduced ice output are
signs that cleaning is necessary.
Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water
solution. 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.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish
monthly. For best results use Claire
®
Stainless Steel
Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that
could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on
any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for
stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this
includes glass, tile, and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
®
or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser
®
and
a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always
finish with Claire
®
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or
comparable product to prevent further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.

other cleaner may damage the finish of the
evaporator and will void the warranty.
Follow safety and handling instructions printed
on the SafeCLEAN Plus™ bottle.
Notice:
Select models include a water filter. The filter
must remain in place when using and cleaning
the machine. The filter is designed to filter out
scale, sediment, particles and cloudiness as

The unit will resume operation approximately 15 minutes
after the automated cleaning process is completed. The
water fill valve will energize, fill the water reservoir, and
shut-off after three minutes. The compressor begins to
operate and water flows over the evaporator assembly (ice
mold). Initially, the water flow may not be uniform, causing
uneven sized cubes or water to spill into the ice storage bin.
This is a normal situation that will correct itself within the
first 24 hours of operation.
NOTICE
Discard all ice produced in the first harvest.
Should power to the unit be interrupted during
the self-clean cycle, it will be necessary to repeat
the complete cleaning cycle after the power is
restored.
REFRESH KIT
Due to variations in water quality or inadequate
maintenance, your unit may become excessively coated in
lime scale or calcium. U-Line offers a cost effective refresh
kit which replaces man interior components and will return
your unit to like-new condition. Refresh kits may be ordered
from your local distributor and installed by your local
service company. For information on your local distributor
or service company please visit www.u-line.com.
When water begins flowing over the evaporator
(approximately 3 minutes), pour 1 packet of CLR
cleaner into the water trough. The cleaning process will
last approximately 45 minutes.
Dilute 1 tablespoon bleach in 1 gallon of warm water.
Apply this solution to the entire inside of the storage
area. Then rinse thoroughly with water.
