Interior Cleaning and Sanitizing
GENERAL
Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months for
efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more
frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified
service company to test the water quality and
recommend appropriate water treatment. The ice
machine must be taken apart for cleaning and sanitizing.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale and
mineral deposits. Ice machine sanitizer disinfects and
removes algae and slime.
Step 1 Set the toggle switch to the OFF position after
ice falls from the evaporator at the end of a Harvest
cycle. Or, set the switch to the OFF position and allow
the ice to melt off the evaporator.
Step 2 Remove top cover. This will allow easiest
access for adding cleaning and sanitizing solutions.
Step 3 Remove all ice from the bin.
Step 4 Place the toggle switch in the CLEAN position.
The water will flow through the water dump valve and
down the drain. Wait until the water trough refills and
water flows over the evaporator, then add the proper
amount of ice machine cleaner.
Step 5 Wait until the clean cycle is complete
(approximately 30 minutes) then place the toggle switch
in the OFF position and disconnect power to the ice
machine (and dispenser when used).
Step 6 Remove parts for cleaning and hand sanitizing.
