Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning Schedule:
·
Scrub the outside and inside of the cabinet
frequently 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, auger
and evaporator surface; and the air cooled
condenser filter and the condenser itself.
Air Filter (air cooled only):
1. Remove the grill on the right 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.
Remove Bracket
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.
Remove Filter
5. Return the filter to its installed position.
6. Replace the bracket removed in step 2.
7. Replace the grill. 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.
