Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ice maker.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the ice maker and ice bucket with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and ensure all parts are dry before reassembly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Calcium Buildup: The ice maker's housing is designed to resist calcium buildup. However, in areas with hard water, occasional inspection for mineral deposits is recommended. If buildup occurs, gently clean with a soft cloth and a vinegar solution, then rinse.
