Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Self-Cleaning Function

The Totnz Ice Maker includes a 30-minute automatic self-cleaning cycle to ensure hygiene and optimal ice quality. It is recommended to run this cycle every half a month.

2. Activate Self-Cleaning: With the unit powered on, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds. The self-cleaning cycle will begin.
3. Drain Water: After the 30-minute cycle is complete, unplug the unit. Locate the drainage plug at the bottom of the ice maker and remove it to drain the cleaning solution. Replace the plug securely once drained.

General Cleaning

• Regularly clean the ice basket and water reservoir with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.
• Ensure the lid is kept closed to prevent dust and debris from entering the ice-making area.
