Guardian™
Slime is a leading cause of ice machine breakdowns and biological growth is a health concern. The Guardian™
system releases chlorine dioxide on a controlled basis to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi that form slime and
cause malodors in the food zone of ice machines. The Guardian™ will not control mineral or other water borne
buildup. Your water quality will determine the length of time before mineral buildup affects ice machine performance.
Mineral buildup must be removed as often as necessary to ensure trouble-free operation of the ice machine.
INSTALLATION
If the Guardian system has been ordered, install the
sachet holder in the inside of the front panel.
1. Remove front panel screws and lift panel off.
Screw Location
