CARE & MAINTENANCE
SELF CLEAN MODE
Self clean mode should be completed before you use the ice maker for the rst time and any time the ice
maker has been in storage for a long period of time. Self clean mode will remove any dust or residue from
internal components.
1. Add equals parts clean, potable water and white vinegar to the ice maker’s reservoir. Fill to the “Max
Fill Line”.
2. In standby mode, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to activate self clean. A beep will
sound to conrm.
3. The upper water bucket will be lled and evacuated. The pump will remain in continuous operation as
it feeds water to the bucket and evaporator coils. The cycle will run ve times. Upon completion, the ice
maker will return to standby mode.
4. Remove the drain cap and plug from the water outlet to drain the water and vinegar.
5. Add clean, potable water to the “Max Fill Line”.
6. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to run self clean mode again. This will act as a rinse for
internal components.
7. Upon completion of the self clean cycle, drain the water from the ice maker.
8. Leave the lid of the ice maker open and allow it to dry completely before lling with water and making
ice. The vinegar smell will dissipate quickly.
9. When you begin making ice, you may wish to discard the rst few buckets to ensure there is no
lingering vinegar in the ice.

mode until more water is added.
If the water bucket fails to turn over, the full bucket and low water indicators will ash at the same time.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to deactivate self cleaning mode and reset the ice maker.
Do not allow the evaporator to soak in the water and vinegar solution for an extended period.
