Cleaning And Sanitizing - Follett Symphony Plus 12 Series Installation Manual

Cleaning and sanitizing

Follett ice machines and dispensers, and their associated cleaning and sanitizing procedures, are designed for
use with potable water sources. The presence, or suspected presence, of infectious agents may call for additional
measures, including the replacement of components and more comprehensive disinfection measures. Follett
recommends that these cleaning and sanitizing procedures be reviewed with the appropriate infectious agent
subject matter experts to assure complete remediation.
Periodic cleaning of Follett's ice and water dispenser and 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.
Follett recommends sanitizing the pressurized water lines prior to cleaning the ice machine/dispenser. Follett
offers two kits: order P/N 01089572 when a Follett filter system with a pre-filter bowl is present, or P/N 01089580
when a Follett filter system is not present. Follow the instructions provided with the respective kits to sanitize the
pressurized water lines immediately before cleaning the ice machine/dispenser.
Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning 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.
