HOW TO CLYND
Learn how to use the Ice Machine Cleaner.
KEEP YOUR ICE MAKER PERFORMING AT ITS BEST.
Regular cleaning prevents scale buildup, odors, and residue that affect ice clarity and taste. With CLYND, you can easily restore your machine’s efficiency and enjoy crystal-clear, fresh-tasting ice every time.
MACHINES WITH A CLEAN CYCLE
UNPLUG, EMPTY ICE, DRAIN WATER & UNINSTALL THE CAP
ADD 1 TABLET PER 1 GALLON OF WATER. FILL TO MAX LINE
USE YOUR MACHINE'S CLEAN FUNCTION TO CIRCULATE
FILL W/ FRESH WATER. RUN 1 FULL CYCLE WITHOUT TABLET. DRAIN
WIPE BIN & REMOVABLE PARTS. RESTART ICE MAKING
MACHINES WITHOUT A CLEAN CYCLE
UNPLUG THE MACHINE, EMPTY THE ICE, DRAINER, AND MAKE SURE TO UNINSTALL THE CAP
ADD 1 TABLET PER GALLON OF WATER. FILL IT TO THE MAX LINE AND LET IT DISSOLVE THOROUGHLY
TURN ON THE MACHINE BRIEFLY UNTIL WATER FLOWS OVER. TURN OFF & SOAK FOR 10 MINUTES
FILL THE MACHINE W/ CLEAN WATER. CIRCULATE BRIEFLY, THEN DRAIN. REPEAT ONCE MORE
WIPE THE BIN AS WELL AS THE REMOVABLE PARTS. ONCE READY, RESTART ICE MAKING
DILUTION MIXTURE
Mix 1 CLYND Ice Machine Cleaner Tablet per 1 gallon of water (1:32 Dilution).
Always follow your manufacturer's cleaning guidelines to maintain warranty coverage.
FOR COUNTERTOP ICE MACHINES
Step 1: Power Off & Empty
Turn off your ice maker and unplug it from the power source for safety. Remove all remaining ice from the bin or dispenser and discard any water left in the ice tray. Starting with an empty and dry system ensures that the cleaning solution can circulate properly and reach every internal surface.
Step 2: Drain Residual Water
If your ice maker includes a drain cap or plug (typically located at the bottom or back unit), unscrew it to release any water. Allow the reservoir to drain completely. This step removes leftover moisture that could dilute the cleaner and reduces the chance of residue mixing w/ the new solution.
Step 3: Re-Seal
Once all the water has been drained, replace and securely tighten the drain cap. A proper seal ensures that the cleaning solution stays inside the system during the cleaning cycle and doesn’t leak out during circulation.
Step 4: Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Drop 1 tablet into the water pan or reservoir. Fill the tank with fresh water up to the fill line. The water activates the tablet, beginning the chemical reaction that dissolves limescale and mineral buildup inside the machine’s internal water lines and components.
Step 5: Allow Dissolution
Wait until the tablet has completely dissolved before starting the cleaning cycle. You’ll notice slight bubbling as the tablet activates — this is normal and indicates the descaling agents are ready to work. Ensuring full dissolution helps the solution distribute evenly for a thorough clean.
Step 6: Run the Cleaning Cycle
Turn your ice maker back on and select the Clean or Wash mode, if available. This cycle circulates the cleaning solution through the internal components, including the evaporator, pumps, and tubing, to remove mineral deposits, residue, and contaminants. Allow the full cycle to complete.
Step 7: Drain Thoroughly
Once the cleaning cycle is finished, turn off the unit again and unscrew the drain cap to release all remaining cleaning solution. Make sure the tank is completely emptied to prevent cleaner residue from affecting your next batch of ice.
Step 8: Rinse Cycle
Refill the water reservoir with fresh, clean water only —no cleaner this time— and run another full cycle. This rinse removes any remaining cleaning agents or loosened debris from the system, ensuring your machine is ready for safe ice production.
Step 9: Wipe Interior Surfaces
After the rinse cycle, open the bin or ice storage area. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away any visible buildup, water spots, or loosened scale from the walls and corners. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
Step 10: Restart Ice Production
Reassemble all components, replace the drain cap securely, and plug your ice maker back in. Power it on and resume normal operation. Your ice machine is now clean, odor-free, and ready to produce crystal-clear, fresh-tasting ice again.
how to clynd for commercial ice machines
Turn Off & Clear Ice Bin
Switch off the power and empty all ice.
Access Internal Components
Remove the front panel and evaporator cover carefully.
Melt Residual Ice
Let any remaining ice on the evaporator grid melt completely.
Initiate Cleaning Mode
Activate theCleanfunction or maintenance cycle per your model’s guide.
Add Cleaner
When fresh water fills the trough, drop1 CLYND Ice Machine Cleaner Tabletdirectly into it. Allow it to dissolve.
First Cycle
Let the cleaner run its full course to descale and sanitize internal tubing.
Rinse Cycle
Start a second cleaning cycle using only water to flush remaining debris and solution.
Final Wipe-Down
Using a damp cloth, clean all internal and external surfaces for a spotless finish.
Resume Operation
Reassemble panels and restart normal ice production.
ROUTINE CARE TIPS
Frequency
Clean your ice maker every two months or more often for hard water or heavy usage.
Storage
Store tablets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Compatibility
Safe for all standalone ice machines— including GE Profile, Opal, Frigidaire, and commercial units.
Safety
Pet-safe, eco-conscious formula — gentle on your machine, powerful on buildup.
ECO & APPLIANCE CARE
Eco-Conscious Formula
Biodegradable, non-toxic ingredients that break down safely after use.
Appliance Protection
CLYND’s gentle descaling chemistry helps prevent corrosion and internal wear — preserving your machine’s performance and lifespan.
Peace of Mind
Safe for homes with children and pets — because clean shouldn’t come with compromise.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Regular Cleaning Schedule
Clean every 1–2 months depending on water hardness and usage volume. Heavy-use or commercial environments may require monthly cleaning.
Use Filtered Water
Reduces scale buildup, improves ice clarity, and prolongs machine lifespan.
Empty When Idle
If not using the machine for several days, drain and dry the reservoir and bin to prevent mold or bacterial growth.
Inspect Moving Parts
Check and clean water inlets, drains, and ice scoops regularly. Replace worn gaskets or filters as needed.
Wipe External Surfaces
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to maintain a spotless exterior — avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage finishes.
Monitor Ice Quality
Cloudy, soft, or off-tasting ice indicates it’s time for a cleaning cycle with CLYND.
PRO TIP
For consistent results, mark your calendar or set a reminder every two months: Deep clean, restore clarity, and CLYND it.
