Cleaning & Maintenance

WARNING: Before any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the ice maker from the main power supply (except for the Self-cleaning program). This appliance must be cleaned using a water jet. Do not use alcohol or fume cleaners, as they may crack plastic parts. Have the condenser checked and cleaned annually by a trained service person.

CAUTION: If the ice maker has been unused for a long time, clean it thoroughly before next use, following sanitizing solution instructions. Do not leave any solution inside.

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure efficiency, performance, hygiene, and longevity. Intervals may be shortened if pets are present, the unit is used outdoors, or other special considerations apply. NOTE: Do not store items other than ice in the ice storage bin, as labels may slip off and obstruct the drain pipe.

1) Exterior Cleaning

Clean the door and cabinet with a mild neutral detergent and warm water. Avoid solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge, rinse with clean water, and wipe dry to prevent water spots. Stainless steel models may discolor with chlorine gas; clean them with mild detergent, warm water, and a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning agents. Discoloration from chlorine gas in moist environments (e.g., near spas) is normal.

2) Interior Cleaning

For Ice Storage Bin

Sanitize the ice storage bin occasionally, especially before first use or after extended storage. It is convenient to sanitize the bin after cleaning the ice-making system and when the bin is empty.

1. Disconnect power.
2. Wipe the interior with a clean cloth using a sanitizing solution of mild neutral detergent and hot water (95°F to 115°F).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water; waste water will drain via the drain pipe.
4. Reconnect power.

Wash the ice scoop regularly like any other food container.

WARNING: DO NOT use solvent cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to ice cubes, damage, or discolor the interior.

3) Ice Making Parts Cleaning

Periodically clean these main systems:

1. Repeat interior cleaning steps for the water tank and other inner parts.
2. Clean the water dividing pipe on the evaporator if water flow is low or obstructed. Clean each small hole carefully and reinstall.
3. If ice cubes do not fall easily from the evaporator, do not force them. Press "ON/OFF" for over 5 seconds to enter the ice melting process. After ice melts, turn off the unit and unplug to clean the evaporator surface.
4. Clean the water tank and ice-full detecting plate. Spray the interior surfaces with a mixture of neutral cleaner and water, then wipe clean. Rinse with clean water and drain via the water drain pipe. Reinstall the drain pipe.

4) Ice Making Assembly System Cleaning

Minerals from water can form scale in the water system. Regular cleaning removes scale buildup. Frequency depends on water hardness (4-5 grains/liter may require cleaning every 6 months).

1. Turn off the ice maker. Keep connected to water supply and drain pipe, but shut off the main water faucet.
2. Scoop out all ice cubes.
3. Prepare cleaning solution: Mix 300 ml Nu-Calgon Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner with 2.8 liters of warm water (120°F-140°F). Divide into two cups.
4. Ensure the water drain pipe is properly installed. Pour one cup of cleaning solution into the water tank. Wait 5 minutes.
5. Turn on power. Press "TIMER CLEAN" for over 5 seconds to start self-cleaning. The water pump runs for 8 minutes, stops for 3 minutes, repeating for 30 minutes total. The "CLEAN" light stays on.
6. After 30 minutes, pull out the drain pipe and drain the cleaning solution into the lower ice storage bin. Shake the unit to drain completely. Reinstall the drain pipe.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 to clean the ice-making assembly system again.

WARNING: The ice machine cleaner contains acids. Do not use or mix with solvent-based cleaners. Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles. Read material safety instructions on the cleaner container.

Open the main water faucet. Press "TIMER CLEAN" for over 5 seconds to start self-cleaning. The process is the same: 8 min run, 3 min stop, for 30 minutes. The "CLEAN" light stays on. This rinses the water dividing pipe, evaporator, pump, etc.

After self-cleaning, pull out the drain pipe, drain the solution into the lower ice storage bin, and shake to drain completely. Reinstall the drain pipe. Repeat steps 8-9 two more times.

Clean the ice storage bin following the above program.

After this special cleaning, return to regular ice-making mode. Discard the first batch of ice cubes.

5) Cleaning Suggestion

Daily Cleaning: Clean the ice shovel, door, and water dividing pipe daily. Rinse the shovel and wipe the door with a clean cloth.

Semi-Monthly Cleaning: Clean the ice shovel, ice bin, water tank, ice-full detecting plate, and evaporator surface semi-monthly according to the interior cleaning program.
