Step 7 Mix a solution of cleaner and warm water.
Depending upon the amount of mineral buildup, a larger
quantity of solution may be required. Use the ratio in the
table below to mix enough solution to thoroughly clean
all parts.
Step 8 Use 1/2 of the cleaner/water mixture to clean all
components. The cleaner solution will foam when it
contacts lime scale and mineral deposits; once the
foaming stops use a soft-bristle nylon brush, sponge or
cloth (NOT a wire brush) to carefully clean the parts.
Soak parts for 5 minutes (15 - 20 minutes for heavily
scaled parts). Rinse all components with clean water.
Step 9 While components are soaking, use 1/2 of the
cleaner/water solution to clean all foodzone surfaces of
the ice machine and bin (or dispenser). Use a nylon
brush or cloth to thoroughly clean the following ice
machine areas:
• Side walls
• Evaporator plastic parts - including top, bottom, and
sides
• Bin or dispenser
Rinse all areas thoroughly with clean water.
Step 10 Mix a solution of sanitizer and warm water.
Step 11 Use 1/2 of the sanitizer/water solution to
sanitize all removed components. Use a cloth or sponge
to liberally apply the solution to all surfaces of the
removed parts or soak the removed parts in the
sanitizer/water solution. Do not rinse parts after
sanitizing.
Step 12 Use 1/2 of the sanitizer/water solution to
sanitize all foodzone surfaces of the ice machine and bin
(or dispenser). Use a cloth or sponge to liberally apply
the solution. When sanitizing, pay particular attention to
the following areas:
• Side walls
• Evaporator plastic parts - including top, bottom and
sides
• Bin or dispenser
Do not rinse the sanitized areas.
Step 13 Replace all removed components.
Step 14 Reapply power to the ice machine and place
the toggle switch in the CLEAN position.
Step 15 Wait about two minutes or until water starts to
flow over the evaporator. Add the proper amount of
Manitowoc Ice Machine Sanitizer to the water trough by
pouring between the water curtain and evaporator.
