1) Stainless Steel Exterior
To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean and soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
2)Storage Bin and Scoop
•Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (bin accessory).
•The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin.
•Keep the scoop clean. Clean using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
•Clean the bin liner using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
3)Air Filter
A plastic mesh air filter removes dirt or dust from the air, and keeps the condenser from getting clogged. As the filter gets clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced. Check the filter at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter.
4) Condenser
Check the condenser once a year, and clean if required by using a brush or vacuum cleaner. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the location of the icemaker.
