To keep your ice tasting fresh and your UltraSonic Nugget Ice Maker working

at its best, we recommend cleaning your Ice Maker before first use and

further at least once per week.

Take out the Ice Basket and Ice Scoop and hand wash only in warm water

with mild detergent. Rinse and wipe dry. Do not use any solvents or

chemicals.

Wipe the interior of the Ice Maker with a soft cloth soaked in warm water

and white vinegar. Repeat with a clean damp cloth.

Pour in fresh, room temperature water into the Water Reservoir. Do not fill

above the MAX line. Add a couple of drops of mild detergent to the water.

Caution: Do not use organic solvent, harsh chemicals, boiled water, strong

acid, and strong alkali products for cleaning, unless otherwise specified.

Press and hold the “Clean” key for approximately 3 seconds. The indi-

cator lights up and the appliance will start the self-cleaning function

where the water solution will circulate through the system.

After cleaning for 8 minutes, the appliance will stop working and the __

indicator will flash.

Unplug the unit from the power outlet. At the rear of the unit, detach the

Drain Plug from the back of the Ice Maker and position the two Drain

Tubes down over a nearby sink or catchment container. Remove the Drain

Plug from the end of the Drain Tubes and drain until the Water Reservoir

inside the appliance is empty.

Reattach the Drain Plug to the Drain Tubes. Attach the Drain Plug back

into the two slots at the back of the Ice Maker as illustrated in the “HOW

TO USE” instructions earlier in this manual.

If the unit has been moved in this process, wait for 30 minutes for the unit

refrigerant to settle. Repeat steps 3-7, this time using fresh, room tem-

perature water only, to rinse the Water Reservoir and internal mecha-

nisms.

In the interior of the Water Reservoir, pull off the Water Filter from the

water outlet. Separate the two parts and use a small brush to clean any

mineral build-up on the mesh filter. Rinse under water. Replace the Water

Filter.

Dry the Water Reservoir interior with a soft, clean kitchen towel.

Wipe the exterior of the Ice Maker with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild

dishwashing soap if necessary. Wipe dry. Do not use appliance wax,

polish, solvents, or chemicals on the stainless steel exterior.

Ensure the Water Reservoir is fully drained and wiped dry prior to storage

or if the Ice Maker is not going to be used for a long time.

Always wait 30 minutes after moving the appliance for the refrigerant to

settle before plugging in again.

It is recommended to discard the first few cycles of ice when starting the

appliance again after cleaning or storing for an extended period.

DESCALING

Depending on the water that you use in the Ice Maker, there may be signs of

mineral build-up. Hard water residue may not always be visible but will

impede ice production, and it is therefore recommended to descale the Ice

Maker at least every 6 months.

Wipe the interior of the Ice Maker with a soft cloth soaked in warm water

and white vinegar, including the Ice Level and Water Level Sensors.

Fill the Water Reservoir to the MAX line with a solution of half room-tem-

perature water, and half white vinegar.

Press and hold the “Clean” key for about 3 seconds. The indicator

lights up and the appliance will start the cleaning cycle and the solution

will circulate through the system. Repeat for up to 3 cleaning cycles. It is

possible to allow the vinegar to soak for a few hours in between cycles to

help dissolve any hard water deposits.

Drain the water/vinegar solution from the unit by removing the Drain Plug

from the Drain Tubes at the back of the unit and emptying into a nearby

sink. See Step 6, mentioned in the “CLEANING” section above for further

instruction.

Reattach the Drain Plug and Drain Tubes to the back of the Ice Maker. If

the unit has been moved in this process, wait for 30 minutes for the unit

refrigerant to settle. Add fresh water to the Water Reservoir and run

another “Clean” cycle before draining the water. Repeat this process 3

times.

Use a clean cloth to wipe the walls of the Water Reservoir.

Fill the Water Reservoir with fresh water. If the unit has been moved, allow

30 minutes for the refrigerant to settle before plugging in and starting the

ice making process.

Allow the Ice Maker to make several cycles of ice until it is clear there is

no remnant of vinegar taste within the ice. Discard the ice.
