Cleaning the interior
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice maker is
used first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time. It is usually convenient to
sanitize the trough after the ice making system has been cleaned, and the ice storage bin is empty.
1.
Disconnect the power to the unit.
2.
Open the door and take out the removable ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the
interior of unit and ice bin with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach or
chlorine and 2 gallons of hot (95ºF – 115ºF) water.
3.
Pull off the drain hose of the water trough to drain off all water.
4.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
5. After draining off all water, put back the drain hose of the water
through to the original location.
6.
Put the ice storage bin inside the unit.
7.
Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food
container.
Condenser cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher
than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the condenser
cleaned at least once every six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Gently pull off the lower front louver.

unit compartment with the brush attachment of a
vacuum cleaner
.

Cleaning the water distribution tube
When you find the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output is low, the water distribution tube
may be blocked. Turn off the power button, gently take out the water distribution tube, locate the holes
in the distribution tube and use a pointed object such as a toothpick to dredge the holes. Then put the
water distribution tube back to its original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:
