Water-Cooled Condenser (And Regulating Valve); Cleaning The Interior; Cleaning Procedure If There Is Ice On The Evaporator Plate; Cleaning The Water System And Evaporator - Cornelius Xtreme ICE Series Owner's/Operator's Manual

1. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment. Brush or wash
condenser from top to bottom, not from side to side. Be careful not to bend the fins. Shine a flashlight
through the condenser to check for dirt between the fins.
2. If further cleaning is required, blow compressed air through the condenser from the inside. Take care not to
bend the fan blades. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check that all the dirt is removed.

Water-Cooled Condenser (and regulating valve)

The water-cooled condenser and water regulating valve may require cleaning due to scale build-up.
Low ice production, high water consumption, and high operating temperatures and pressures all may be symp-
toms of restrictions in the condenser water circuit.
The cleaning procedures require special pumps and cleaning solutions and, therefore, should be performed by
qualified maintenance or service personnel.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Approved ice machine cleaners by brand names:
S Calgon Nickel Safe (green color only)
NOTE: Failure to use approved products will void the warranty.
CAUTION: Ice machine cleaners are acidic-based chemicals. Before beginning any
cleaning of the cuber, the ice in the storage bin or dispenser must be removed.
WARNING: When using any chemical, rubber gloves and eye protection should be worn.
WARNING: Do not remove the small clear tube from the fitting located in the water pan.
Doing so will result in erratic behavior of the ice machine.

Cleaning Procedure if there is Ice on the Evaporator Plate.

1. Turn the power switch on.
2. Press the clean button to start a 4 minute defrost cycle (button is located on the front of the control panel).
3. After harvest cycle, add ice machine cleaner and follow cleaning procedure.
Use ice machine cleaner on a coarse-surface cloth material (such as terry cloth) and wipe down the inside wall
of the evaporator area, the water pan, the water curtain and the plastic water deflector. If the water distributor
tube has heavy scale build-up, remove and soak it in full-strength nickel safe ice machine cleaner (or exchange
the tube and clean the scaled tube at a later date). *See figures and #6 and #7.

Cleaning the Water System and Evaporator

1. Turn the power switch to "OFF".
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Remove the water curtain(s), pour 1/2 oz. of ice machine cleaner down the top of the evaporator. The
cleaner will drain into the water pan.
4. Remove the water distributor tube (refer to fig. 10), disassemble water distributor tube (refer to fig. 11), and
clean with the brush and "Calgon Nickel Safe" ice machine cleaner.
