Model/Serial Number These numbers are required when requesting information from your local Manitowoc Distributor, or Manitowoc Ice. The model and serial number are listed on the MODEL/SERIAL NUMBER DECAL affixed to the ice machine. Manitowoc Cleaner and Sanitizer Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner and Sanitizer are available in 16 oz.
Installation Location of Ice Machine The location selected for the ice machine must meet the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, select another location. • The location must be free of airborne and other contaminants. • The location must not be near heat-generating equipment or in direct sunlight.
Potable Water Requirements • Plumbing must conform to local codes. • Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink faucets, dishwashers, etc.) •...
Cooling Tower Applications (Water-Cooled Models Only) A water cooling tower installation does not require modification of the ice machine. The water regulator valve for the condenser continues to control the refrigeration discharge pressure. It is necessary to know the amount of heat rejection, and pressure drop through the condenser and water valves (inlet and outlet) when using a cooling tower on an ice machine.
FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for each ice machine. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R. rated (does not apply in Canada). Warning The ice machine must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes. GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER CIRCUIT (GFIC) A GFCI/GFI circuit protection is not recommended with our equipment.
Maintenance Cleaning and Sanitizing Maintenance procedures covered in this manual are not covered by the warranty. ! Caution Use only Manitowoc approved Ice Machine Cleaner (part number 000000084) and Sanitizer (part number 9405653). Do not mix Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions together. It is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling.
RF MODELS CLEANING/SANITIZING PROCEDURES Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedure This procedure must be performed once every month. • All ice must be removed from the bin • The ice machine and bin must be disassembled cleaned and sanitized • The ice machine produces ice with the cleaner and sanitizer solutions •...
Page 17
Step 6 Fill the evaporator and reservoir with cleaning solution. Prop Float Up to Prevent Low Water Level Shutdown Step 7 Move the toggle switch to the ON position. The ice machine will make ice with the cleaning solution and deposit the ice in the bin. Add the remaining cleaner/water solution as the water level in the reservoir drops.
Page 18
Step 9 Place the toggle switch in the OFF position. Step 10 Refer to disassembly for cleaning/sanitizing and remove parts for hand cleaning/sanitizing. • Hand clean all parts • Rinse all parts with clear potable water • Sanitize all parts - do not rinse after sanitizing •...
Page 19
Step 13 Refer to chart and premix water and sanitizer. Amount of Water Amount of Sanitizer 1 Gallons (4 L) Water 1/2 ounce (15 ml) Step 14 Fill the evaporator and reservoir with sanitizer/water solution. Step 15 Move the toggle switch to the ON position. The ice machine will make ice with the sanitizer/water solution and deposit the ice in the bin.
Page 20
Heavily Scaled Cleaning Procedure Perform this procedure if you have some or all of these symptoms. • Excessive grinding, popping or squealing noises from the evaporator • Grinding noise from gearbox • Ice machine trips speed sensor NOTE: A Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedure must be performed after this procedure.

Step 9 Press the OFF switch, then unscrew the ice chute connector. Step 10 Using disposable food service grade gloves insert one dry sponge into the transport tube going to the evaporator (NOT the tube going to the bin), then insert one sponge soaked in the sanitizer water solution.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER Warning Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the electric service switch before cleaning condenser. The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning them. Air-Cooled Condenser Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps below.
Removal from Service/Winterization ! Caution If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine in freezing temperatures, severe damage to some components could result. Damage of this nature is not covered by the warranty. Follow the procedure below. 1. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker or the electric service switch.

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...
Thermostat Settings RF MODELS Bin Thermostat: The bin thermostat sensing bulb is located in the ice chute on modular models and in the bin thermostat holder on the right side of the bin on self storage models. The bin thermostat turns the ice machine on and off as the level of ice in the bin changes.
