Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the ice bin regularly to prevent mold, mildew, and ice contamination. Use a mild detergent and warm water solution to clean both the interior and exterior surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and allow the bin to dry completely before refilling with ice.

• Inspect the Door Seal: Check the door gasket periodically to ensure it forms a tight seal when closed. A damaged or worn gasket can lead to ice melting and increased energy consumption. Replace the gasket if necessary.

• Maintain the Drain System: Ensure the drain fitting is not clogged and that the drain hose is properly connected. This helps prevent water accumulation and maintains proper drainage.

• Keep the Scoop Clean: Store the ice scoop in the designated holder inside the bin to prevent contamination. Clean the scoop regularly with warm, soapy water.

• Monitor Ice Levels: Avoid overfilling the bin, as this can obstruct the door and make it difficult to open and close. The B948S bin has a storage capacity of up to 893 lbs. 

• Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect the bin for any signs of leaks or water accumulation around the base. Address any issues promptly to prevent water damage and maintain a clean storage environment.

• Professional Servicing: Schedule regular maintenance checks with a certified technician to ensure all components are functioning correctly and to address any potential issues before they become major problems.
