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.
