Schedule
An ice system represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In
order to receive the best return on that investment, periodic maintenance is required. It is the user
responsibility to see that the machine is properly maintained. Maintenance and cleaning should be
done a minimum of twice per year, and more if the ice machine is operating is a dusty area.
Monthly:
Unlock the sink and remove it. Then pull out the removable upper drain chute. Clean out any
debris that may have accumulated in it.
Check the lower drain pan for debris, remove any and pour one quart of an approved sanitizing
solution into the drain pan. Flush with warm water.
Return the upper drain pan and sink to their original positions.
Ice Machine: Follow the instructions in the ice machine service manual.
Dispenser: The only maintenance required is the periodic cleaning of the drain pans, screens and
sanitizing the bin.
