4. Remove the top panels to gain access to
the water reservoir.
5. Remove the float reservoir cover and with a
piece of copper wire short the two metal pins of
the water level sensor.
6. Place a water pan under the freezer water
inlet port, disconnect the water hose from this
port and allow the water from the freezer to flow
into the pan.
Then refit the water hose to the freezer water inlet
port.
7. Prepare the cleaning solution by diluting in
a plastic container two or three liters of warm
water (45°-50°C) with a 0,2-0,3 liters of
SCOTSMAN Ice Machine Cleaner (on MF 66
double the quantities).
WARNING. The SCOTSMAN Ice Machine
Cleaner contains Phosphoric
Hydroxyacetic acids. These compounds
are corrosive and may cause burns if
swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting.
Give large amounts of water or milk. Call
Physician immediately. In case of external
contact flush with water. KEEP OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN
8. Pour the cleaning solution into the water
reservoir.
9. After 15 minutes switch ON the Master
switch to start the unit.
10. Wait till the machine starts to discharge ice,
then continue to slowly pour the cleaning solution
into the water reservoir taking care to maintain
the level just below the overflow.
NOTE. The ice made with the cleaning
solution is slushy and coloured also, it may
tend to loose fluidity creating some resistence
in being elevated and extruded; this situation
can be heard by the noise made of the ice.
Should this occure it is recommended to stop
for few minutes the ice machine in order to
allow the ice in the freezer to partially melt
then restart again.
11. When all the cleaning solution has been
used up, open the water shutoff valve to allow
new fresh water to flow into the reservoir. Let the
unit to continue to run until the ice resumes the
normal colour and hardness.
12. Stop the icemaker and pour warm water on
the ice deposited into the storage bin to melt it up.
NOTE. DO NOT use ice produced with the
cleaning solution. Be sure none remains in
the bin.

14. Left the unit running for approx 10 minutes
then remove the copper wire used to jump the
two sensors for the water level and place back
correctly the cover on the float reservoir.
NOTE. DO NOT use ice produced with the
sanitising solution.
15. With a sponge moisted with a sanitising
solution, wipe clean all the bin interior surfaces.

of undesirable bacteria it is necessary to
sanitise the interior of the storage bin with an
anti-algae disinfectant solution every week.
