Cleaning the Condenser Filter
The washable filter on self-contained ice machines is
designed to catch dust, dirt, lint and grease. Clean the
filter with a mild soap and water.

Cleaning the Condenser

GENERAL
!
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine head
section and the remote condensing unit at the
electric service switches before cleaning the
condenser.
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces
ice production and shortens component life.
• Clean the condenser at least every six months.
!
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when
cleaning them.
• Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for
dirt between the fins.
• Blow compressed air or rinse with water from the
inside out (opposite direction of airflow).
• If dirt still remains call a service agent to clean the
condenser.

Removal from Service/Winterization
1. Clean and sanitize the ice machine.
2. Press the power button and turn off the ice machine.
3. Turn off the water supply, disconnect and drain the
incoming ice-making water line at the rear of the ice
machine and drain the water trough.
4. Energize the ice machine, wait one minute for the
water inlet valve to open and blow compressed air in
both the incoming water and the drain openings in
the rear of the ice machine to remove all water.
5. Press the power button and turn off the ice machine.
Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker
or the electric service switch.
6. Fill spray bottle with sanitizer/water solution and
spray all interior food zone surfaces. Do not rinse
and allow to air dry.
7. Replace all panels.
WATER-COOLED ICE MACHINES
1. Perform steps 1-6 under "Self-Contained Air-Cooled
Ice Machines."
2. Disconnect the incoming water and drain line from
the water-cooled condenser.
3. Energize the ice machine in the freeze cycle. The
increasing refrigerant pressure will open the water
regulating valve.
4. Blow compressed air through the condenser until no
water remains.
5. Replace all panels.
