CLEANING and SANITATION
These units consist of two separate Ice Machines; to properly clean and maintain the them, these steps
A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company's business. In
order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance.
It is the USER'S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always preferable, and
less costly in the long run, to avoid possible down time by keeping it clean; adjusting it as needed; and by
replacing worn parts before they can cause failure. The following is a list of recommended maintenance
that will help keep the machine running with a minimum of problems.
Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.
ICE MAKING SYSTEM: In place cleaning
1. Check and clean any water treatment devices, if
any are installed.
2. Remove screws and the front panel.
3. Move the ON-OFF switch to OFF.
4. Remove all the ice from the storage bin.
5. Remove the cover to the water reservoir and
block the float up.
6. Drain the water reservoir and freezer assembly
using the drain tube attached to the freezer water
inlet. Return the drain tube to its normal upright
position and replace the end cap.
7. Prepare the cleaning solution: Mix eight ounces
of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner with three quarts
of hot water. The solution should be between 90
and 115 degrees F.
8. Slowly pour the cleaning solution into the water
reservoir until it is full. Wait 15 minutes, then
switch the master switch to ON.
9. As the Ice Machine begins to use water from
the reservoir, continue to add more cleaning
solution to maintain a full reservoir.
10. After all of the cleaning solution has been
added to the reservoir, and the reservoir is nearly
empty, switch the master switch to OFF.
11. After draining the reservoir, as in step 6, wash
and rinse the water reservoir.

12. Go thru steps 13-19 to sanitize the ice machine
water system.
13. Mix two gallons of sanitizer solution. Use an
approved sanitizer.
A possible sanitizer solution may be obtained by
mixing two gallons of warm (90-115oF.) potable
water with 1 ounce of household bleach.
14. Slowly pout the sanitizer solution into the water
reservoir until the float rises, then switch the
master switch ON.
15. As the ice machine uses water from the
reservoir, continue to pour the sanitizer solution
into the reservoir.
16. After
of the sanitizer solution has been added
1
2
to the reservoir, and the reservoir is nearly empty,
switch the master switch OFF.
17. Drain the reservoir and thoroughly wash the
interior of the reservoir and cover with sanitizer
solution. Be sure the drain hose is upright and
capped.
18. Remove the block from the float in the water
reservoir.
19. Switch the master switch to ON
20. Continue ice making for at least 15 minutes, to
flush out any cleaning solution.
DO NOT USE any ice produced from the
cleaning solution. Be sure no ice remains in
the bin.
21. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
22. Add warm water to the ice storage bin and
thoroughly wash and rinse all surfaces within the
bin.
23. Sanitize the bin interior by washing the interior
of the bin with the balance of the sanitizer solution.
24. Switch the master switch ON.
