Maintenance Tips
-
Clean & sanitize every 6 months to prevent scale, bacteria, and performance loss. Use only approved cleaner and run the built-in clean cycle.
-
Wash air filter every 2–4 weeks to maintain airflow and energy efficiency.
-
Descale regularly (more often in hard water areas) to avoid mineral buildup and खराब ice quality.
-
Clean condenser coils (every 6 months) to prevent overheating and reduced ice production.
-
Inspect water lines & fittings for leaks and proper pressure; use a filter to improve ice clarity.
-
Keep front airflow unobstructed for optimal cooling and consistent output.
-
Wipe interior & bin regularly to maintain hygiene and food-safe ice.
-
Replace worn parts (filters, seals) every 6–12 months for reliability.
-
Ensure unit is level to avoid uneven ice formation and harvesting issues
