CLEANING THE OUTSIDE
OUTER CASE
- Clean the outside of the appliance with a soapy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a
damp clean cloth.
CONTROL PANEL AND DOOR
- Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of
soap and water and abrasive or sharp objects on the panel. They can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
COVER SURFACE
- It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the cabinet. Use only mild, non-
abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
SELF-CLEAN MODE OPERATION
The self-clean mode should be completed before you use your ice maker for the fi rst time and/or if there has been a long
period without use. The three LED lights for POWER, ICE FULL, ADD WATER will be on at the same time when the ice
maker is in self-clean mode.
Stage 1
1. Add equal parts of water and vinegar (1:1) to the ice maker’s reservoir.
2. In stand-by mode, hold the ON/OFF button for at least 5 seconds to activate the self-clean mode. Please note that
self-clean mode will start automatically after a “Beep” sound.
3. During self-clean mode, the upper water bucket is fi lled and evacuated. The pump will remain in continuous operation
as it feeds water to the bucket and evaporator coils. This cycle will run continuosly fi ve times.
4. Upon completion, the unit automatically changes back to stand-by mode.
Stage 2
1. Drain the cleaning solution from the internal reservoir by removing the rear drain cap and plug.
2. Add fresh water to the Max fi ll line.
See Fig.A
3. In stand-by mode, hold the ON/OFF button for at least 5 seconds to activate the self-clean mode again which will now
act as a rinse.
4. Upon completion of this fi nal stage of the self-clean process, the unit automatically changes back to stand-by mode.
Proceed to drain the water from the internal reservoir by removing the rear drain cap and plug. Leave the lid on the
ice maker open to allow it to air dry. The vinegar smell will dissipate quickly.
Please note that if there is a water shortage during self-cleaning mode, the unit will automatically go into stand-by mode;
If the water bucket fails to turn over, ICE FULL, and ADD WATER LED lights will be fl ashing at the same time. You need
to press and hold the ON/OFF button for more than 5 seconds to deactivate the self-cleaning mode in order to change
operation settings. Do not allow the evaporator to soak in the cleaning solution for an extended period.
