CARE AND MAINTENANCE NOTE: Maintenance must be done by a qualified service technician. WARNING: Before maintenance or cleaning can be performed, the water supply should be shut off and the unit should be disconnected to the power supply. EXTERIOR CLEANING ALWAYS make sure to keep the area around the ice maker clean, and that nothing is blocking the vents. Clean the exterior of the unit with a mild detergent and wipe clean. If necessary, use a commercial stainless steel cleaner or polish. NOTE: Stainless steel may rust without proper care and maintenance. INTERIOR CLEANING Clean the inside of the ice bin with clean, potable water and wipe as needed. For the air-cooled ice maker, the condenser should be cleaned every three weeks. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush to brush it up and down along the fin direction, to avoid damage to the fins and further affecting the cooling effect. The condenser filter should be removed and carefully cleaned every 2 weeks. NOTE: Be careful when doing the condenser cleaning as the edges of the fins are sharp. INLET WATER FILTER The filter should be inspected regularly and replaced every 1-3 months based on usage and water quality. WATER PIPE To ensure food safety, the water pipe should be cleaned regularly. WINTERING If the unit is not going to be used for a long period or stored away, turn off the water and disconnect from the power supply. Clean the interior and exterior of the unit, and be sure to drain all water from the water trough, inlet pipe, and drain pipe. 12
