Maintenance Tips

• Clean & sanitize monthly — ice bin, evaporator, and water system to prevent scale & bacteria.

• Replace water filter every 6 months (or per water quality) for clear, high‑quality ice.

• Use a water softener in hard‑water areas to reduce mineral buildup and extend machine life.

• Keep airflow clear — clean air intake/exhaust and vacuum condenser coils monthly for efficient cooling.

• Inspect water supply lines — check for leaks; flush if cloudy water or sediment appears.

• Maintain proper operating temperatures to ensure efficient ice production and performance.

• Schedule periodic professional service for calibration, sensor checks, and performance.

• Best usage habits — discard old ice daily and minimize unnecessary door openings.
