Manual Cleaning and Descaling

For thorough cleaning or descaling, especially in hard water areas:

  • Removable Cover: The top cover of the ice maker is removable, allowing access to internal components for deep cleaning.

    • In hard to very hard water areas (121-250mg/L calcium carbonate), descale every two to three weeks.
    • Use a descaling solution recommended for ice makers or a mixture of water and white vinegar. Follow the descaling product's instructions.
  • Draining: Regularly drain the water from the unit using the drain plug at the bottom to prevent stagnant water and mineral buildup.
  • Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
