7.2 Regular Cleaning
- Unplug the ice maker before cleaning.
- Remove the ice basket and clean it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.

- Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling and operating the unit.
7.3 Descaling
Mineral deposits from hard water can affect ice quality and machine performance. Descale your ice maker regularly:
- Monthly: In moderately hard water areas.
- Every two or three weeks: In hard to very hard water areas.
To descale, use a descaling solution specifically designed for ice makers or a mixture of water and white vinegar. Follow the instructions for the self-cleaning cycle, using the descaling solution instead of plain water. After descaling, run several cycles with clean water to rinse thoroughly.
