Sanitation and Cleaning

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.
In Place Cleaning of the Ice Machine Water
System:
1. Remove all ice from the bin. Either save it in a
sanitary container or discard it. If the cleaning was
planned, the ice machine could be switched off the
night before to minimize waste.
2. Remove the front panel.
3. Push and release the Harvest button (this
releases any ice that may be on the evaporators
and warms them up).
4. Wait for the machine to finish the Harvest cycle
(the machine will stop).
5. Remove the cube deflector, the evaporator
cover, the cascading shield (if used) and the bin
control sensors. Place the cascading shield and
the cube deflector in a separate container. Place
the bin controls in the reservoir.
6. Push and release the Clean button. The Clean
indicator light will be blinking, and the pump will
restart.
7. Pour 12 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine
Cleaner into the reservoir water. Return the
evaporator cover to its normal position.
8. Mix a solution of 8 ounces of Scotsman ice
machine cleaner and 1 gallon of warm (95-115 o F.)
water. Use the solution to scrub the cascading
shield and cube deflector in the separate
container.

flush with water.

induce vomiting. Give
large amounts of water or
milk. Call Physician
