3. Remove Side Tank (if applicable): If your ice maker has a side tank accessory, remove it. The side tank will not be used during the main cleaning cycle.
4. Drain Water from Machine: Locate the two drain tubes at the back of the ice maker. Open both tubes to allow all water to drain from the machine. Ensure the reservoir is completely empty.

4. Soak and Descale: After the 3-minute cycle, the machine will stop. Place the provided cleaning cloth (or a paper towel) into the chute where the water flows down. Ensure it soaks up the cleaning solution and remains in place. Allow the solution to soak for 18 hours to effectively descale the internal components, including the sensors and chute. This extended soak is crucial for dissolving stubborn mineral deposits.

After the cycle, drain the water from both tubes. Repeat this fresh water rinse and drain process two more times (total of 3 rinses) to ensure all chemical residue is removed.
8. Final Rinse (Optional for Side Tank): If you have a side tank with hard water deposits, you can fill it with 4 ounces of the cleaning solution and water, let it soak, and then scrub it with a brush. Rinse thoroughly.
