Cleaning: Ice Storage Bin
The interior liner of the bin is in contact with a food
product: ice. The storage bin must be cleaned
regularly to maintain a sanitary environment.
Every 30 days, the liner should be sanitized with a
commercial ice machine sanitizer, according to the
directions of the sanitizer, or with a solution of
household bleach and water:
1. Mix the bleach and water using the ratio of two
ounces of bleach to two gallons of water.
2. Wipe all interior surfaces of the ice storage bin
with the bleach and water.
3. Allow to air dry.
Note: If the ice baffle was removed from the bin
during cleaning it must be reinstalled in the bin.
To Remove Scale:
1. Mix a cleaning solution of 4 ounces of Scotsman
Ice Machine Cleaner to 4 pints of hot
0 0
(95 F.-110 F.) water.
2. Using rubber gloves, dip a nylon scouring pad
into the cleaning solution and scrub the scale off
the liner.
3. After the scale has been removed, rinse all
surfaces inside the bin with clean, potable water.
Stainless Steel Components Inside Bin
The stainless steel parts in the bin also require
periodic cleaning. Chemicals in the water supply,
such as chlorine, cause brown stains to appear on
the surface of the stainless steel parts.
1. General Cleaning - staining is usually removed
by washing the parts with ordinary cleaning
powder such as Bon-Ami or Copper-Glo and
water. After cleaning, rinse with clear water.
2. Water treatment. The chlorine enters the
machine from the municipal water supply. It can be
removed from the water supply by using a
charcoal or activated carbon water filter to treat the
water to the ice machine. If staining is severe,
filters of this type are recommended.
Exterior Cabinet Cleaning:
The exterior cabinet may be cleaned by scrubbing
with soap and water. Do not use cleaners
containing petroleum products.
A nylon type brush may be used to scrub stubborn
deposits.
