7.2 Manual Cleaning

For thorough cleaning, especially of the ice basket and water tank:

• Unplug the ice maker from the power outlet.
• Remove the ice basket and pull-out water tank.
• Wash these components with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
• Wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces of the main unit with a soft, damp cloth.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and plugging in the unit.

7.3 Descaling

Hard water can lead to mineral buildup (scaling) inside the ice maker, affecting performance and ice quality. The IceLumix panel displays TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels, which can indicate water hardness.

• Frequency: Descale monthly in slightly to moderately hard water areas. Descale every two weeks in hard to very hard water areas.
• Method: Use a descaling solution specifically designed for ice makers or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio).
• Procedure: Add the descaling solution to the water tank and run the self-cleaning cycle. After the cycle, drain the solution, rinse the tank, and run several cycles with clean water to flush out any residue.
• Recommendation: For best performance and to minimize scaling, use purified water (TDS 10-200) or bottled water.
