1.This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction manual and labels provided with the icemaker.
2.To achieve optimum icemaker performance, the following parts need periodic inspection and maintenance:
Extruding Head and Upper Bearing Housing and Lower Bearing Evaporator Cylinder
Auger Gear Motor Mechanical Seal
These parts should be inspected at least once a year or every 10,000
hours of operation. Their service life, however, depends on water quality and environment. More frequent inspection and maintenance are recommended in bad or severe water conditions.
Replacement of the following consumable parts is recommended if wear exceeds factory recommendations:
Upper Bearing

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 Filters
Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt or dust from the air, and keep the condenser from getting clogged. As the filters get clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced. Check the filters at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filters.
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.
