Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Self-Cleaning Function

The Totnz Ice Maker features an automatic self-cleaning function to ensure your ice remains fresh and clean. It is recommended to use this function regularly, especially after extended periods of non-use or before storing the unit.

1. Prepare for Cleaning: Ensure the ice maker is empty of ice cubes and the ice basket is removed.
2. Add Water: Fill the water reservoir with clean, potable water up to the MAX fill line. You may add a small amount of white vinegar or a mild descaling solution (follow product instructions) for a more thorough clean, then rinse thoroughly afterwards.
3. Start Self-Clean: With the unit plugged in and water added, press and hold the ON / OFF / CLEAN button for 5 seconds. The cleaning cycle will begin, indicated by specific lights or sounds (refer to control panel for specific indicators if available).
4. Cycle Completion: The self-cleaning process typically takes about 30 minutes. Once complete, the unit will stop.
5. Drain Water: Unplug the unit and drain all water from the reservoir by removing the drain plug (if applicable, usually at the bottom or side).
6. Rinse: Rinse the interior of the water reservoir and ice basket with clean water. Repeat the self-cleaning cycle with fresh water only to ensure all cleaning solution residue is removed.
7. Dry: Wipe down all interior and exterior surfaces with a soft, clean cloth. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing or next use.
