MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

A.

GENERAL

The periods and the procedures for maintenance
and cleaning are given as guides and are not to
be construed as absolute or invariable.
Cleaning, especially, will vary depending upon
local water and ambient conditions and the ice
volume produced; and, each icemaker must be
maintened individually, in accordance with its
particular location requirements.
B.

ICEMAKER

The following maintenance should be scheduled
at least two times per year on these icemakers.
1. Check and clean the water line strainer.
2. Check that the icemaker is levelled in side
to side and in front to rear directions.
3. Clean the water system, evaporator, bin
and spray platens (ACM 85 & AC 125-175) using
a solution of SCOTSMAN Ice Machine Cleaner.
Refer to procedure C cleaning instructions and
after cleaning will indicate frequency and proce-
dure to be followed in local areas.
4. On AC 225 reach the water spray bar from
the inside of the freezing chamber lifting it from its
seat with its bottom trust washer.
Dip it into a tray filled with cleaning solution then
rinse it under tap water stream.
With a pick clean the orifice of the water stream
jet that propells the spray bar.
NOTE.Cleaning requirements vary according
to the local water conditions and individual
user operation. Continuous check of the clarity
of ice cubes and visual inspection of the
water spraying parts before and after cleaning
will indicate frequency and procedure to be
followed in local areas.
5. With the ice machine and fan motor OFF on
air cooled models, clean condenser using vacuum
cleaner, whisk broom or non metallic brush taking
care to do not damage both the condenser and
ambient temperature sensors.
6. Check for water leaks and tighten drain line
connections. Pour water down bin drain line to be
sure that drain line is open and clear.
7. Check size, condition and texture of ice
cubes. Perform adjustment of DIP SWITCH keys
as required.
8. Check the ice level control sensor to test
shut-off. Put your hand between the light source
and the receiver so to cut off the light beam for at
least one minutes.
This should cause the ice maker to shut off and
the light up of the 2nd LED (yellow light).
IMPORTANT. Perform the above check
only at the end of harvest cycle or at the
beginning of freezing cycle in order to do
not cause to the unit to make a double
freezing cycle.
