Maintenance Tips

• Clean and Sanitize
  Wash the ice bin, evaporator, and internal components every 3–6 months to prevent scale, bacteria, and odor buildup.

• Descale the Water System
  Use a manufacturer-approved descaling solution to remove mineral deposits that reduce ice quality and machine efficiency.

• Air Filter Maintenance
  Clean or replace the air filter monthly (or more often in dusty environments) to maintain proper airflow and energy efficiency.

• Replace Water Filters
  Change water filters every 6 months or when water flow decreases to ensure consistent ice clarity and taste.

• Inspect Sensors and Components
  Keep sensors, photo-eyes, and mechanical parts free of scale and debris to maintain accurate ice production cycles.

• Check Condenser and Refrigeration
  Clean condenser coils regularly and schedule professional inspection of refrigeration components annually for optimal performance.
