Preheat the water system by pouring hot water into the
reservorr pan until the lower pump housing is covered
and circulate for five minutes. Then set service switch
to “off” position to syphon out the water. Then set
service switch to “clean” position.
Slowly pour the cleaning solution into the water
reservoir pan. If the solution foams, stop pouring until
the foam subsides and then continue pouring until the
lower pump housing is covered.
Allow the solution to circulate until the scale on the
freezing plate surface has dissolved.
When the plates are clean, place the service switch in
the “off” position. This allows the cleaning solution to
syphon out of the reservoir pan into the drain.
NOTE: Circulating cleaning solution for 20 to 30 minutes
will generally remove scale formation.
Severe scale
formation may require repeating the cleaning process with a
fresh quantity of solution since the effectiveness of the
solution is drastically reduced after this period of time.
If scale deposits remain on the side flanges a stainless steel
sponge or pad dipped in cleaning solution can be used to
scrub these surfaces. This can best be accomplished after
the removal of the lower water distributors.

Turn on the water supply to the machine and set the
service switch to
“clean”. Allow the fresh water to
circulate for ten minutes.
Place the service switch in the “off” position and allow
the water to syphon off to the drain. When the
reservoir pan has refilled with water, place the service
switch in the “clean” position and allow the water to
circulate for ten more minutes.
12. Place the service switch in the “off” position and allow
the water to syphon off to the drain.
13 Remove the top water distributor tube. Remove the
two wing nuts which hold the distributor tube in
position on the top freezing plate. Pull out the water
pump hose from the right end of the distributor. Pull
out the rubber plug from the left end of the
distributor. A stiff bristled brush of approximately the
same diameter as the distributor will facilitate removal
of scale accumulation.
14. Remove the ice cube deflectors between each cutter
grid. The lower left edge has a locking tab which must
clear the grid frame. Push left and up on the lower edge
of the deflector. The right edge then readily comes off
the lower flange of the cutter grid above.
15. Remove the lower water distributors. Lift up on the
right side and pull the left edge off of the cutter grid.
The plastic distributor may have to be flexed slightly
to get if off the grid flange.
Wash the deflectors and distributors with a mrld
detergent solution, rinse with clean water and sanitize
with the sanitizer solution. If heavy scale exists the
components may be soaked in cleaning solution to
remove the scale.
