The ice maker must unscrew the inlet hose head for two months, clean the inlet valve filter screen, and prevent sand and mud impurities in the water from blocking the inlet, resulting in a decrease in the amount of water entering and not making ice. Although the ice maker will discharge the cooled residual water from the sink at the end of each ice making process to achieve cleaning effect, which can effectively reduce the generation of scale in the evaporator and water circulation system, it is generally necessary to use ice maker cleaning agents and disinfectants to clean and disinfect the water distribution pipe, sink, refrigerator, and water baffle after about six months, and rinse thoroughly.

The ice cubes generated during the cleaning process cannot be consumed. When not in use for a long time, it should be cleaned thoroughly, and the ice mold and the moisture inside the box should be dried with an electric hair dryer. It should be placed in a well ventilated and dry place without corrosive gases, avoiding outdoor storage.
