MAINTENANCE
REGULAR BASIS
(or as required)
Cleaning of the ice maker is recommended on a regular basis not only for sanitary reasons, but also to maintain
the performance of the unit. Build-up of line and scale can hinder ice-making production rates and interfere with
proper dispensing of the ice. See Cleaning Instructions for the recommended procedure.
EVERY THREE MONTHS
(or as required)
It is recommended that the air inlet filter be cleaned every three (3) months or sooner depending on the operat-
ing environment for proper refrigeration system performance. On an air-cooled unit, also check that the con-
denser is free of dirt/foreign material that could cause air flow blockage. Consult the Maintenance/Adjustment
Procedures section for cleaning these items.
PERIODICALLY
(or as required)
Check the vending area sink for proper water drainage. Remove any foreign material from the sink to prevent
drain blockage.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The ice maker should be cleaned at a minimum of three (3) month intervals or more
frequently, depending on local water conditions. The storage hopper interior should be cleaned once a
month.
CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, sharp objects or abrasives on the surface of the
storage hopper, as damage may result. Do not use solvents or other cleaning agents, as
they may attack the plastic surface. Use only the recommended chemicals and solutions for
both the ice maker and hopper.
Ice Maker Section
1. Open the hinged service door on the upper left side panel.
2. Put the “Stop/Run”switch in the “stop”position at the end of the harvest cycle. An alternate method would
be to stop the unit during the ice-making cycle and allow ice in the evaporator to melt by waiting for at least
1 hour before beginning the cleaning procedure. The “Flush”switch can be depressed to bring in warmer
water to help the melting process.
WARNING: The unit is still plugged into the electrical power during the ice maker section
cleaning. To avoid possible injury, do not reach into hopper, or into ice maker nozzle. Do
not contact exposed electrical wiring or components.
3. Close the water supply valve to the ice maker.
4. Remove the ice drop cover from the evaporator and the storage hopper cover.
5. Seal the evaporator outlet with the plastic plug provided with the unit and replace the ice drop cover.
