- Remove the nozzles and diffusers from the sanitizing solution and allow to air dry on a clean surface
- Brush under the valve with a dedicated cleaning brush and sanitizing solution
- Remove the bin covers and wash both sides of the cover in the sink then allow to air dry
- Remove all ice from bin
- Fill a labeled and dedicated spray bottle with sanitizing solution and spray the interior of the ice bin then scrub with dedicated brush soaked in sanitizing solution
- Thoroughly rinse the ice bin with warm water and allow to air dry
- Pour remainder of sanitizing solution over the cup rest and down the drip tray drain
- Reassemble the diffuser and nozzle with the white rubber seal facing up and with the notches matching up with the tabs and re-install the nozzle assembly
- Re-fill the ice bin with ice and re-install the ice bin cover
