Cleaning Instruction for Ice-O-Matic CIM Series Ice Machines
Note: Proper cleaning of an ice machine requires two parts: descaling and sanitizing.
Descaling should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year but no more than once per month.
Descaling dissolves the mineral deposits on the evaporator and other surfaces. It removes scale, calcium, lime
scale and other mineral buildup. Ice-O-Matic requires a "nickel-safe" cleaner such as Nu-Calgon Nickel-Safe Ice
Machine Cleaner or equivalent diluted per manufacturer's instructions.
Sanitizing should be performed after each descaling but no more than once per month.
Sanitizing disinfects the machine and removes microbial growth including mold and slime. Ice-O-Matic requires
a "nickel-safe" sanitizer such as Nu-Calgon IMS-III or equivalent diluted per manufacturer's instructions.

Eye protection is recommended when handling descaler or sanitizer.
Wear protective rubber gloves when handling descaler or sanitizer.
