Cleaning/Descaling And Sanitizing - Follett 25 Installation, Operation And Service Manual

Cleaning/descaling and sanitizing

Periodic cleaning/descaling and sanitizing of Follett's ice and water dispenser and ice machine system is required to
ensure peak performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures that follow should be
performed at least as frequently as recommended and more often if environmental conditions dictate.
Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning/descaling and sanitizing of the ice
machine system should be performed by your facility's trained maintenance staff or a Follett authorized service agent.
Regardless of who performs the cleaning, it is the operator's responsibility to see that this cleaning is performed according
to the schedule below. Service problems resulting from lack of preventive maintenance will not be covered under the
Follett warranty.
