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.

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.
