Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning Schedule:
•
Scrub the door and frame edges once a week
with soap and water.
•
Sanitize the bin interior once a month.
•
Clean the water system and air cooled
condenser a minimum of twice per year. If in an
area of high mineral concentration in the water
supply, clean water system 4 times a year.
This ice machine will perform at its best when kept
clean. There are two areas to keep clean: The
water system including the water reservoir,
distributor tube and evaporator surface; and the
air cooled condenser filter and the condenser itself.
Air Filter (air cooled only):
1. Remove the grills on the front of the unit.
2. Remove two screws and the bracket holding the
filter to the condenser.
3. Pull the filter forward and twist it slightly to pull it
though the slot in the front base of the ice machine.
4. Wash the surface of the filter off with cold water,
or, if torn or so dirty it can’t be cleaned, replace
with a new filter.
5. Return the filter to its installed position.
6. Replace the bracket removed in step 2.
7. Replace the grills. Do not operate the unit
without the filter in place.
Note: If the unit has been operated without the
filter in place, the fins of the condenser will
become fouled with dirt, and must be cleaned.
Scotsman recommends that only the surface of
the condenser be cleaned with the bin in place. A
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment will
extract most loose dust stuck to the surface of the
condenser fins. If there is any doubt about dirt
inside the fins of the condenser, the cabinet should
be removed and a qualified service agent should
clean the condenser.
Water cooled units:
The water cooled condenser may, over time and
under certain water conditions, become internally
restricted by minerals. These will have to be
dissolved by acid or the condenser replaced. Only
a qualified service agent should attempt this type
of service.
