5.2 Making Ice
- Ensure there is sufficient water in the reservoir (either from the installed bottle or manually added).
- The ice maker will automatically begin producing ice when the water level is adequate and the ice bin is not full.
- Ice cubes will be dropped into the ice storage bin. Use the provided ice scoop to retrieve ice.
- Note: This unit is not a freezer. Ice will melt over time, and the melted water will return to the reservoir for re-use in ice production.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your dispenser.
- External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drip Tray: The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent overflow and bacterial growth. Simply slide it out, empty, wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and replace.
- Ice Bin: Periodically remove and clean the ice storage bin with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before replacing.
- Internal Cleaning/Descaling: For thorough internal cleaning and descaling, especially if you notice mineral buildup or a change in water taste, consult a qualified technician or follow specific descaling instructions provided by VECYS support. This typically involves using a food-grade descaling solution.
- Water Bottle Area: Clean the area where the water bottle sits regularly to prevent dust and debris accumulation.
