Maintenance Tips

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the machine. Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and high-pressure water to prevent damage.

• Weekly Inspection: Check the condenser fins and air filters for dust and debris. Clean as necessary to maintain efficient airflow.

• Monthly Sanitization: Use Brema's ICECLEAN01 cleaner to descale and sanitize the interior. Prepare a solution by dissolving one 55g packet in 2.5 liters of water. Pour into the water basin, run the cleaning cycle, and rinse thoroughly before resuming ice production.

• Avoid Overloading: Ensure the machine is not producing more than its capacity of 216 lbs (98 kg) of ice per 24 hours. Overloading can strain the system and reduce efficiency.

• Proper Operation: Always use the machine as intended. Do not attempt to modify or bypass safety features. Ensure the machine is connected to a compatible storage bin.
