MY process:
Lever to Fill tank position. I usually use a 1/4 c of household bleach to every 15 gallons of tank capacity. I add a 1/4 c to a gallon of water and pour this solution into my water hose which is connected to MH. I then place the other end into my homes water bib. I fill tank until it overflows. I then turn each spigot on, one by one, on for 1-2 minutes and close. Let sit 5-6 hours or overnight. Then I drain tank, fill with fresh water, and drain again.
Now.....
1. How do I sanitize my water heater? Does it need to be turned on?
Do the same for the hot water taps. No the heater doe not have to be turned on. Do you run run the clean water (last fill) through the taps ?

2. How do I sanitize my refers ice maker? Does it need to be turned on and making ice? If yes, how many cycles of ice making?
Yes, the ice maker need to be making ice while you have the chlorine water in the tank. I would want it to make 3 cycles. I would also want at least 2 cycles of the final clean water.
