ID: 178019
Description: This is a guide on how to descale an AGLUCKY...
Steps:
- Turn off the icemaker by pressing the power button.
- Remove the ice from the machine using the provided scoop.
- Either discard the ice into your sink or put it in a separate container to use later.
- Either hold a container below the drain plug or place it over the edge of a sink.
- Pull the plug quickly and let the machine fully drain.
- To ensure as little spillage as possible, pull the plug and move your hand out of the way quickly.
- Use a kitchen scale to measure your solution in fluid ounces.
- Take your cleaning solution and pour about two ounces of solution into a container.
- Make sure to balance your scale to 0 ounces before measuring by pressing the "tare" button while the container is on the scale.
- If you’re using a different descaling solution than the Tupkee brand that is pictured, read the instructions for your solution to see the ratio of water to solution that is recommended.
- Add the solution to one half gallon of filtered or distilled water.
- Mix the 2 ounces of solution into the water.
- 1/2 of a gallon of water is also approximately 1.9 liters.
- Grab the handle of the ice rack and remove it from the machine reservoir.
- Pour the solution and water mixture into the machine reservoir.
- Press and hold the power button for 3-5 seconds until the indicator lights flash red simultaneously to start the self-cleaning cycle.
- Only fill the reservoir to the max fill line. There will be a small amount of leftover solution and water mix.
- As the self-cleaning cycle runs, use a toothbrush dipped in the cleaning mixture to remove any visible buildup in the machine.
- Make sure to brush carefully and be mindful of the moving parts as to not break any small attachments.
- Once the self-cleaning cycle is complete, drain the solution from the machine following the same procedure in Step 2.
- You'll know the self-cleaning cycle has finished once the indicator lights stop flashing red.
- Pour clean, filtered or distilled water (without cleaning solution) into the machine reservoir.
- Run the self-cleaning cycle again by holding the power button for 3-5 seconds.
- Once the self-cleaning cycle with fresh water is complete, drain the solution from the machine following the same procedure in Step 2.
- Refill the machine reservoir with cool water and press the power button to run it as normal for clean ice.
