Ice Machine Inspection
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make
sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating
against other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) on the sides or back of
the ice machine. There must be adequate airflow
through and around the ice machine to maximize ice
production and ensure long component life.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation. Use cleaners designed for use with stainless
steel products.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They
will scratch the panels.
Cleaning the Condenser
GENERAL
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces
ice production and shortens component life. Clean the
condenser at least every six months.
Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for dirt
between the fins. To remove dirt:
A. Blow compressed air or rinse with water from
the inside out (opposite direction of airflow). Be
careful not to bend the fan blades.
B. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner if
required to remove dirt/grease. Follow the
directions and cautions supplied with the
cleaner.
C. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin
comb.
