Manteniment
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygienic operation of your ice maker.
Neteja diària/setmanal:
- Drenatge d'aigua: Unplug the unit. Locate the water drain cap at the bottom of the unit. Place the ice maker over a sink or use a container to catch the water, then remove the cap to drain all water from the reservoir.
- Esborrar: Utilitzeu un drap suau dampened with warm water and a mild detergent to wipe the interior and exterior surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Cistella de gel: Remove the ice basket and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before placing it back in the unit. Note: The ice basket is not dishwasher safe and may deform.
Monthly Deep Cleaning:
For thorough cleaning and to prevent mineral buildup or mold, perform a deep clean monthly, especially if using tap water.
- Preparació de la solució de neteja: Mix a solution of water and white vinegar (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water) or a mild, food-safe descaling agent.
- Clean Internal Components: Pour the cleaning solution into the water reservoir. Allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Run Cleaning Cycle (Optional): If your model has a cleaning function, activate it. Otherwise, run a few ice-making cycles with the cleaning solution (do not consume this ice). This helps circulate the solution through the system.
- Escorreu i esbandiu: Drain the cleaning solution completely. Rinse the reservoir and internal components multiple times with fresh, clean water to remove any residue. Run several cycles with fresh water and discard the first few batches of ice to ensure no cleaning solution remains.
- Zones de difícil accés: Pay special attention to areas where ice forms, such as the metal fingers and the water trough. A small brush (like a bottle brush or soft toothbrush) may be helpful for these areas.
Qualitat de l'aigua:
Using distilled or quality bottled water is highly recommended to minimize mineral buildup and reduce the frequency of deep cleaning, contributing to the longevity of the unit.
