5Discard the first few batches of ice the first time you use the ice maker,
or the first time you use it after an extended period of time.
Maintaining your ice maker
Your ice maker is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning

warm water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep
your ice maker looking new.
Cleaning the interior of your ice maker

cubes even when full, move the ice maker to a darker
location.
• You must change the water in the tank at least every 24
hours to ensure a reasonable hygene level and avoid bad
smelling ice.
