Interior Cleaning and Sanitizing

GENERAL

Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months for
efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more
frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified
service company to test the water quality and
recommend appropriate water treatment.
The ice machine must be taken apart for cleaning and
sanitizing.
Use only Manitowoc approved Ice Machine Cleaner
(part number 94-0546-3) and Sanitizer (part
number 94-0565-3). It is a violation of Federal law
to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with
their labeling. Read and understand all labels
printed on bottles before use.

solutions together. It is a violation of Federal law to

mineral deposits. Ice machine sanitizer disinfects and
removes algae and slime.
