Cleaning/descaling and sanitizing
Periodic cleaning/descaling and sanitizing of Follett's ice machine system is required to ensure peak
performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures that follow should be
performed at least as frequently as recommended and more often if environmental conditions dictate.
Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning/descaling and sanitizing of
the ice machine system should be performed by your facility's trained maintenance staff or a Follett authorized
service agent. Regardless of who performs the cleaning, it is the operator's responsibility to see that this
cleaning is performed according to the schedule below. Service problems resulting from lack of preventive
maintenance will not be covered under the Follett warranty.
