5. Care and Maintenance
Daily Cleaning:
For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to clean the ice basket and water tank daily. Remove them, wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry before returning to the unit.
Self-Cleaning Function:
The ice maker features a self-cleaning function for convenient internal maintenance. To activate, ensure the water tank is filled, then press and hold the 'CLEAN' button for 5 seconds. The machine will run a cleaning cycle, circulating water through its internal components. After the cycle, drain any remaining water and wipe dry.

Descaling:
Over time, mineral deposits from water can build up inside the ice maker, affecting its performance. Descale your ice maker regularly, especially if you live in a hard water area. It is recommended to descale monthly in moderately hard water areas and every two to three weeks in hard to very hard water areas. Use a descaling solution specifically designed for ice makers or a mixture of water and white vinegar (refer to product-specific descaling instructions for ratios).
