To drain the ice maker, position the drainage port on the bottom of the
unit over a sink, or place a small container or receptacle under the
drainage port. Remove the plug and allow water to drain out
completely.
Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure clean
ice. If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, drain all
of the water from the reservoir and dry the reservoir and ice basket.

Clean your ice maker before use. To properly clean your ice maker,
follow these instructions:
1.
Unplug the unit from the power supply.
2.
Place a small container or receptacle under the drainage port and
clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft
cloth. First pour the warm water with diluted detergent into the
internal water reservoir and then into the space below the top
cover.
3.
Use this water and detergent solution to clean the rest of the ice
maker’s interior and drain out the water by unplugging the drain
cap located on the bottom of the unit. Dry the interior with a soft
cloth. Use warm water and diluted detergent to clean the exterior
of the ice maker. Dry the exterior with a soft cloth.
To remove the build-up of calcium or other impurities, add a capful of
vinegar or lemon juice to the water in the reservoir and run for two or
three ice-making cycles. Drain and refill the reservoir with clean, warm
water. Run two more cycles to rinse the vinegar or lemon-juice.
