Maintenance Tips

• Descale the Water System (Every 3–6 Months): Remove mineral buildup from the water system using an approved scale remover to maintain ice quality and efficiency.

• Sanitize the Machine & Ice Bin: Clean and sanitize internal components and the ice storage bin whenever descaling is performed to prevent bacteria or mold growth.

• Clean the Air Filter: Wash or vacuum the reusable air filter at least twice a year (or monthly in dusty environments) to maintain proper airflow and cooling.

• Inspect Condenser Coils: Remove dust, grease, or debris from condenser coils regularly to ensure optimal heat transfer and energy efficiency.

• Check Water Filters: Replace water filter cartridges approximately every 6 months or when water pressure drops.

• Clean Sensors & Components: Keep photo-eye sensors and internal parts free of scale and residue to maintain accurate ice production cycles.

• Schedule Professional Service: A qualified technician should inspect bearings, internal components, and the refrigeration system annually for reliable long-term performance.
