Maintenance procedures covered in this manual are not covered by the warranty. Caution Use only Manitowoc approved Ice Machine Cleaner/ Descaler (part number 000000084) and Sanitizer (part number 9405653). Do not mix Cleaner/Descaler and Sanitizer solutions together. It is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling.
Page 24
Detailed Descaling and Sanitizing Procedure Use Ice Machine Cleaner/Descaler part number 000000084. Use Ice Machine Sanitizer part number 9405653. Remove front and top covers and set the toggle Step 1 switch to the OFF position. Remove all ice from the bin. Step 2 Turn off the ice making water supply and drain Step 3...
Page 25
Move the toggle switch to the ON position. The Step 7 ice machine will make ice with the descaling solution and deposit the ice in the bin. Add the remaining descaler/ water solution as the water level in the reservoir drops. NOTE: Do not allow the descaler/water solution level to drop below the minimum water level.
Page 26
Hand descale the removed part(s) in a properly mixed solution of descaler and water. Solution Type Water Mixed With Descaling 1 gal. (4 L) 16 oz (500 ml) Cleaner/Descaler Part Number 000000084 Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge (NOT a wire brush) to carefully clean the parts.
Page 27
Reassemble all components removed in step 10 Step 11 into the ice machine. Refer to chart and premix water and sanitizer. Step 12 Amount of Water Amount of Sanitizer 1 Gallons (4 L) Water 1/2 ounce (15 ml) Fill the evaporator and reservoir with sanitizer/ Step 13 water solution.

Sequence of Operation Ice Making Sequence of Operation NOTE: Flake ice machines use an auger to remove ice from the evaporator. Occasional noises (creaks, groans, squeaks, or pops) are a normal part of the ice making process. UFP0200/UFP0350/UNP0200/UNP0300 OPERATION The ice machine will not start until: The rocker switch is moved to “ON”.
Page 34
RNP0620/RFP0620/RNP1100 OPERATION When the toggle switch is placed in the ON position the following controls must be in the closed position before the ice machine will start: Bin Thermostat High Pressure Cut-out Switch Ice Chute Safety Switch Low Pressure Switch Low Water Level Switch Placing the toggle switch in the ON position starts the gear motor.
Page 35
Ice Production/Quality Check QUALITY CHECK Ice quality varies with ambient and water temperatures, and is measured by the amount of water in the ice. Generally speaking, higher incoming water temperature results in lower ice quality. Lower water temperature results in higher ice quality. ICE PRODUCTION CHECK NOTE: Ice production checks that are within 10% of the charted capacity are considered normal due to variances...
