Cleaning and Maintenance
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
there are other special considerations.
What shouldn’t be done?
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin other than ice: objects like wine and
beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the
drain.
What should be kept clean?
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1.
The exterior
2.
The interior
3.
Water sprinkler
4.
The ice-making system cleaning
5.
Condenser Air Filter Cleaning
Exterior Cleaning
The exterior of the ice maker and bin may be cleaned with a soft cloth or
sponge dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz
of dishwashing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. Never use
solvent-based or abrasive cleaning agents. Rinse with clean water. Wipe with a
soft clean towel to prevent water spotting.
If the door panel is stainless steel, stainless steel can discolor when exposed to
chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent, warm
water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.

Electrical Requirements
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make
sure you have the proper electrical connection. A standard electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances, is required. The ice maker should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet. It is recommended that a separate
circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot
be turned off by a switch or pull chain. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size
should be 20 amperes.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with
a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible
shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and
grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is
not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a
properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Connecting the power supply line
1.
Feed a power supply cord (not included) and connect it with the two leads
(black and white) at the back of the ice machine. The ground line should
be connected also.
2.
The other end of the power supply cord should be connected to an outlet
that is in accordance with the local electrical code.
