Cleaning

EXTERIOR CLEANING
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models
Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting. Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in- one stainless steel cleaner and polish monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that  could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this includes glass, tile, and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always finish with Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent  further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will cause the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.
For information on Keg and Tap Towers, please reference the Single and Double Tap Tower Kits User Guide on u-line.com.

Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the cabinet manufacturer’s recommendations.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild nonabrasive detergent and warm solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste and/or odor to the interior products and damage or discolor the interior.
NUGGET ICE MACHINE CLEANING CYCLE
This ice machine has an automatic clean alert function.
The control will indicate CL in the display, reminding you to clean your unit. When CL is displayed, ice production will continue. Depending on water conditions, more frequent cleaning may be necessary: see chart below.
Cleaning removes lime scale, other mineral deposits, and sanitizes the machine. Poor ice quality and reduced ice output are signs that cleaning is necessary.

BEFORE RUNNING THE CLEANING CYCLE, MEASURE THE TDS (TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS) LEVEL OF YOUR WATER SUPPLY.
CAUTION
(See WATER HOOKUP section in this guide to find instructions for using the TDS meter that was included with this ice machine.)
