CLEANING
Ice-O-Matic recommends cleaning the ice machine every 6 months, but not more than once per
month to avoid potential damage to the machine.
WARNING: Before proceeding with any cleaning and
maintenance operation, make sure the power is disconnected
and water supply is turned off.
A.
Water Section
Remove the spray platform from the interior of the evaporator case. Thoroughly clean the spray
platform by plunging them into a basin filled with lukewarm water mixed with a descaling
solution, then rinse thoroughly with tap water.
B. Storage Bin
Remove ice from the storage bin. Wipe clean the bin lining, using a mild detergent solution
diluted in lukewarm water. Rinse it, then thoroughly disinfect the surfaces by wiping them with
a sanitizer. Rinse thoroughly.
C. Cabinet
Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution specific for stainless steel.
D. Condenser Air Filter
The air filter is located in front of the condenser. It can be removed by pulling it through the
opening in the front panel for cleaning or replacing. Withdraw the air filter from the front
through the opening of the front panel. Remove the front panel. Blow pressurized air on the
opposite direction of the condenser air flow to remove the dust accumulated. If pressurized air
is not available, use tap water always in the counter flow air direction. Once cleaned, shake it to
remove most of the accumulated water. Allow it to dry before inserting it back into the
machine.
E. Condenser Sensor
The condenser temperature sensor probe, located within the condenser fins detects the
condenser temperature variations and signals them by supplying current, at low voltage, to the
PC Board.
In case the condenser temperature rises and reaches 160˚F (70˚C), the control system will cause
an immediate and total stop of the machine's operation.
