16 Maintenance Special Considerations • For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight. • Turn the unit OFF and dispose of any ice cubes if the unit will not be used for 5 days or more. Prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew. • If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty. • High ambient temperatures, 110°F (43°C) or higher, may reduce the unit's ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice production rate. Maintaining and Cleaning Your Icemaker 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 other special considerations. Exterior Cleaning - As Required The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned 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. Stainless Steel Models • Stainless steel models may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach. • Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require cleaning on a weekly basis. • DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS. • DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile and counter cleansers). • If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish to prevent further problems. • USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME BLURRED. • Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and become impossible to remove. CAUTION Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discoloration of the stainless steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal. Follow exterior cleaning instructions. Interior Cleaning - As Required 1 Disconnect power to the ice maker. 2 Open the door and remove any ice from the storage bin. 3 Wipe down the interior and storage bin with a solution of non-abrasive mild soap or detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water. 4 Sanitize the bin with a solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach in 1 gallon of warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. 5 Check that all drain connections are in place. CAUTION • DO NOT use solvent cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleansers may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior. • DO NOT use any cleaner on the evaporator plate other than Ice Machine Cleaner. Other cleaners may affect ice quality, or cause damage to the unit that is not covered under warranty. See AUTOMATIC CLEAN CYCLE for more information. 6 Reconnect power to the unit.
