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.
Note: Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects
like wine or 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. The condenser
4. Water distribution tube
5. The ice-making system
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm
water solution such as 1 oz of dishwashing liquid mixed with 2 gallons 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. If the door panel is stainless finish, it can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless finish with a
cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never
use an abrasive cleaning agent.
The icemaker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been
left unused for a long time. Follow carefully any
instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing
solution. Do not leave any solution inside the icemaker
after cleaning.
