- Drain any remaining water from the reservoir using the drain plug located at the bottom of the unit.
- Clean the interior of the reservoir and ice-making components with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner or a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio). For hard-to-reach spots, a toothbrush can be used.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaning solution residue. Ensure no chemicals are left behind to avoid affecting ice taste.
