CLEANING THE AIR FILTER AND CONDENSER
Air-Cooled Condenser
Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow
the steps below.
1. Some models have a washable filter. Clean the
filter with a mild soap and water solution.
2. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins. Blow compressed air
through the condenser fins from the inside or use
a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow the
directions and cautions supplied with the cleaner.
3. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin
comb.
4. Carefully wipe off the fan blades and motor with a
soft cloth. Do not bend the fan blades. If the fan
blades are excessively dirty, wash with warm,
soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electric service switch before cleaning the
condenser. The condenser fins are sharp. Use care
when cleaning them.
If you are cleaning the condenser fan blades with
water, cover the fan motor to prevent water damage.
