Ice Maker Tips Remember that water quality determines your ice quality. If the water source uses a water softener, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. • Wash ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry. • Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or for short vacations. • If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
