Ice Maker General Maintenance Tips

On a weekly basis you should ideally do the following:

• Turn off the ice maker at the mains,
• Empty ice bin, if not convenient to discard ice, you can transfer to a clean plastic bag and store in a freezer until cleaning process is complete,
• If possible remove plastic water curtain (note some makes do not have this facility so check before pulling out), if you can remove, remember which way round the curtain goes for refitting (incorrect fitting can cause ice formation problems),
• Wash down the inside of the bin, the curtain surround and the water curtain using a non-abrasive cleaner,
• Check drain in bin is not blocked by debris.
• Rinse inside of the bin, curtain surround and water curtain thoroughly, checking that any residue drains away properly,
• Leave to dry naturally as using a cloth can lead to recontamination,
• Refit water curtain - taking care to ensure it is the right way round (see item 3)
• Close the bin door and turn machine on. For hygiene purposes, before replacing ice put into bags before cleaning procedure, run machine through normal cycle and discard first 2 ice harvests. Once done you can put back original ice.

• ALWAYS KEEP BIN DOOR CLOSED, EXCEPT WHEN GATHERING ICE.
