Answer:

To clean stainless steel portion of dispenser:

• Use the Stainless Steel Exterior Cleaning Procedure for any stainless steel portion of the door dispenser.

To clean internal water lines and ice chute:

• Calcium buildup in the ice chute may be cleaned with a 1:1 vinegar and water solution. Clean reachable area with a rag and the solution, then clean with a damp cloth.
  
• If mold or other residue develops in the internal water lines or ice chute, contact Factory Certified Service to help with cleaning.
• The water line to the unit is either copper or PEX, and a plumber might suggest how to clean them.

Inside the unit, there is nothing to clean nor should it require cleaning.
