Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential for optimal performance. Use a vinegar solution for deep cleaning and descaling. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent mold or mineral buildup.
5.1 Routine Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and prevents mold or mineral buildup. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For the water reservoir, drain and rinse with fresh water after each use. The ice bin should be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, then dried completely. Descale the machine every 3-6 months if you live in an area with hard water. Use a vinegar solution for deep cleaning by filling the reservoir to the max line, running a cycle, and rinsing thoroughly. Always unplug the device before cleaning to ensure safety.
5.2 Deep Cleaning and Descaling
Perform deep cleaning and descaling every 3-6 months to remove mineral buildup. Turn off and unplug the ice maker. Fill the reservoir with a descaling solution or white vinegar, following the manual’s instructions. Run an ice-making cycle to circulate the solution through the system. After completing the cycle, rinse by running 2-3 cycles with fresh water to remove any solution taste. Clean the ice bin with mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly. Regular descaling ensures efficient operation and prevents damage from mineral deposits. Always refer to the user manual for specific descaling recommendations to maintain your ice maker’s performance.
