SELF-CLEAN MODE OPERATION
The self-clean mode should be completed before you use your ice maker for the first time and/or if there has been a long period without use. The three LED lights for POWER, ICE FULL, ADD WATER will be on at the same time when the ice maker is in self-clean mode.

Stage 1

1. Add equal parts of water and vinegar (1:1) to the ice maker's reservoir.
2. In stand-by mode, hold the ON/OFF button for at least 5 seconds to activate the self-clean mode. Please note that self-clean mode will start automatically after a "Beep" sound.
3. During self-clean mode, the upper water bucket is filled and evacuated. The pump will remain in continuous operation as it feeds water to the bucket and evaporator coils. This cycle will run continuously five times.
4. Upon completion, the unit automatically changes back to stand-by mode.

Stage 2

1. Drain the cleaning solution from the internal reservoir by removing the rear drain cap and plug.
2. Add fresh water to the Max fill line. See Fig. A
3. In stand-by mode, hold the ON/OFF button for at least 5 seconds to activate the self-clean mode again which will now act as a rinse.
4. Upon completion of this final stage of the self-clean process, the unit automatically changes back to stand-by mode. Proceed to drain the water from the internal reservoir by removing the rear drain cap and plug. Leave the lid on the ice maker open to allow it to air dry. The vinegar smell will dissipate quickly.

Please note that if there is a water shortage during self-cleaning mode, the unit will automatically go into stand-by mode; If the water bucket fails to turn over, ICE FULL, and ADD WATER LED lights will be flashing at the same time. You need to press and hold the ON/OFF button for more than 5 seconds to deactivate the self-cleaning mode in order to change operation settings. Do not allow the evaporator to soak in the cleaning solution for an extended period.
