Cleaning

STAINLESS STEEL

To clean stainless steel surfaces of the ice machine, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner like Signature polish and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.

Signature polish is available from Signature Limited Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413, or call 877-376-5474.

To bring out the natural luster of the stainless steel, lightly wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work should follow the grain direction of the finish. Better results are obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact with the stainless steel.

Do not use a metallic or highly abrasive cleaner or cloth, as this will scratch the stainless steel finish.

CONDENSER CLEANING

A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production and shortens component life. The condenser should be cleaned every three to six months or after a prolonged shutdown.

The condenser of the ice machine is located at the bottom of the unit, behind the kickplate. Refer to the illustration below. To clean, follow these steps:

1)Remove the four screws attaching the kickplate and tilt forward. Clean kickplate openings before replacing.

2)Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to bend the condenser fins.

3)Using a flashlight, check for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains between the fins or if the condenser fins are bent or flattened, contact Sub-Zero factory certified service.

Before cleaning the condenser, shut off power to the unit at the control panel. Wear gloves to avoid injury from sharp condenser fins.
