DRAINING YOUR ICE MAKER 

Follow the steps below to drain the unit. 

1.  Carefully move the unit towards a sink or other suitable loca-

tion for draining 

2.  Remove the drain cap and rubber drain plug located at the left 

side of the ice maker to drain all the water. 

3.  Let the water drain from the drain plug.  

4.  Firmly install the rubber drain plug into the drain port.  

WARNING:

 Do not tip the unit over while there is water in the  

reservoir.  

 

CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER 

OUTSIDE

  

The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution, warm water, 
and use the soft cloth to wipe. Do not use hard cloth to avoid scratching or damaging the surface of the 
unit. 

INTERIOR 

 

The Whynter HZB-22SA ice maker is equipped with a Self-Clean program that ensures your ice is clean 
and fresh by removing scales and impurities. This program works the same as the ice making process, 
only without the freezing.  

1. Unplug the unit. 

2. Remove the ice basket 

3. Create a one part vinegar to 10 parts water solution and pour the solution into the water reservoir  

4. Plug the unit, press and hold the CLEAN button          for 3 seconds. The unit will automatically enter 
the self-clean program which will take about 5-6 minutes. During this process, the icon      and         will 
be displayed in LCD window, and the fan blade in the         icon will always rotate. This process will 
rinse the inside parts for several times. 

5. After self-clean program is completed, drain out the water by loosening the drain cap and unplugging 
the rubber drain plug on the side. Install the rubber drain plug once the water reservoir is empty. 

6. Unplug the unit, add fresh water into water reservoir up to water level mark 

7. Plug in the unit and initiate self-clean program again. Once the program completes, drain out the wa-
ter. 

8. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft and clean cloth. 

9. Install the rubber drain plug and tighten the drain cap.  

NOTE: 

When using the unit for the first time or have not used for a long time, we suggest the 

above program to be performed first.
