Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your ice maker.

- Descaling (Monthly/As Needed): If hard water is used, mineral deposits may accumulate. To descale, mix a solution of water and vinegar or a commercial descaling agent according to product instructions. Pour into the reservoir and run a few ice-making cycles (discarding the ice). Drain and rinse thoroughly multiple times with fresh water.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
