HID Ice Maker-Dispenser PM
Planned Maintenance:
Ice Machines require periodic maintenance to be able to deliver like-new reliable performance. That
maintenance will be in five areas:
•
Drip tray and drain system
•
Air cooled condenser filter and condenser
•
Ice dispense bin and rotor
•
Photo eye ice level control
•
Ice making water system
The maintenance includes:
•
Scale removal
•
Sanitization
•
Filter cleaning or change
Schedule:
Typically twice per year for scale removal and sanitizing. At some sites the water supply to the ice machine
will contain significant quantities of minerals, and that will result in a water system becoming coated with these
minerals, requiring more frequent maintenance than twice per year.
Drip Tray and Drain:
•
Weekly flush out recommended
Air Filter Cleaning:
•
Monthly and every 6 months with the ice machine scale removal
Ice Dispense Bin and Rotor Cleaning and Sanitizing:
•
At the same time of scale removal and ice machine sanitization, more frequently if needed
Photo Eye Ice Level Control
•
At the same time of scale removal
Ice Machine Water System, including water filters:
•
Remove scale from water system and change filters a minimum of every 6 months
•
Sanitize the water system whenever the scale has been removed
For the Owner or Operator - several items can be "do it yourself" procedures:
•
Water filter change - estimated time 5 minutes
•
Air filter cleaning or change - estimated time 10 minutes
