Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance
This ice system requires three types of maintenance:
• Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors.
• Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin or dispenser.
• Clean or replace the air filters and clean the air cooled condenser (air cooled models only).
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without
human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their
water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral build up that forms during
the ice making process.
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine is
cleaned and sanitized.
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year.
1. Remove the front panel.
2. Remove the evaporator cover.
3. Remove all ice from the storage bin or dispenser.
4. Push and release the Clean button. The yellow
Clean light will blink and the display will show
C . The machine will harvest any ice, drain the
reservoir and begin to refill it.
Note: Curtains must be in the closed position. Move

harvested.

scale remover into the reservoir. The unit will
circulate the scale remover, then drain and flush
it. This will take 35 minutes, then the machine will
stop and the display will show O.
1. Note: If unit has not been de-scaled for an
extended period of time and significant mineral
scale remains, repeat steps 4-6.
7. Mix a cleaning solution of 1 oz of ice machine
scale remover to 12 ounces of water.
8. Locate curtains, push in on edge of curtain by
pivot pin to release it. Pull curtains out of machine.
9. Remove water distributors from ice machine.
Remove cover, inspect distributor for restricted
orifice holes, flush out any debris and open any
restricted holes. Return cover to distributor, be
sure it is fully attached.
10. Locate ice thickness sensor. Squeeze mounting
legs together to release sensor.
Ice machine cleaner contains
acids. Acids can cause burns.
If concentrated cleaner comes
in contact with skin, flush with
water. If swallowed, do NOT
induce vomiting. Give large
amounts of water or milk. Call
Physician immediately. Keep
out of the reach of children.
