EXTERIOR CLEANING
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Treat all exterior stainless steel surfaces with a commercial grade stainless steel cleaner/polish.
ICE MACHINE INSPECTION
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating against other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) in front of the ice machine. There must be adequate airflow through and around the ice machine to maximize ice production and ensure long component life.
