Introduction

Step 1

              Change the water regularly.               

• This is perhaps the most crucial step for the best quality ice. Ice maker owners need to remember that these machines recycle water and ice through the system. The best, freshest ice comes from a regular supply of new, clean water.

Step 2

              Store the ice               

• On that note, it might help to store ice maker, rather than allow it recirculate. Before adding the new water, users should bag and keep any surplus ice so it can go to good use later on. This is helpful during smaller gatherings where a large ice machine may be working overtime for no reason.

Step 3

              Remember to set the cleaning cycles               

• Like all the best food and drink machines, portable or countertop ice making machines should have a cleaning cycle. Here users can set the machine to clean itself out, in its own time. This should be a regular process for the best results.

Step 4

              A manual clean also helps               

• Regular automatic cycles will handle any day-to-day mess and bacteria that may occur. But, those that neglect this process may find the machine needs a more stringent clean. It will benefit all ice machine owners to take the machine apart for a thorough clean on a regular basis.

Step 5

              Always use the right chemicals and products               

• Whether users are on a manual or automatic clean, it is essential to use the right products. The cleaning solutions need to be strong enough to kill bacteria, but not dangerous enough to taint the ice.

Step 6

              Always refer to the product manual               

• Finally, there will be times when users find themselves confused by a setting or unsure what product to use. The product manual should have a useful troubleshooting guide that explains all the dos and don’ts of these home ice making machines. If not, the brand’s customer support line could have the answer.
