CLEANING AND SANITIZING
Cleaning and sanitizing of all surfaces that come in
contact with the water system should be performed every
six months. The following steps outline the cleaning and
sanitizing procedure with the ice machine in place.
Use only the cleaner and sanitizer made for your Sub-Zero
ice machine. The cleaner removes lime scale or other
mineral deposits and the sanitizer disinfects and removes
algae and slime.
If the ice machine requires more frequent cleaning and
sanitizing, consult a qualified professional to test the water
quality and recommend appropriate water treatment.
An abnormally dirty ice machine must be disassembled
for proper cleaning and sanitizing by Sub-Zero factory
certified service.
