Preventative Maintenance Cleaning Procedure

This procedure cleans all components in the water flow
path, and is used to clean the ice machine between the bi-
yearly cleaning/sanitizing procedure.
Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale and
mineral deposits. Ice machine sanitizer disinfects and
removes algae and slime.
NOTE: Although not required and dependent on your
installation, removing the ice machine top cover may allow
easier access.
Step 1 Ice must not be on the evaporator during the clean/
sanitize cycle. Follow one of the methods below:
• Move the toggle switch to the OFF position at the end of
a harvest cycle after ice falls from the evaporator(s).
• Move the toggle switch to the OFF position and allow
the ice to melt.
! Caution
Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator.
Damage may result.
Step 2 Open the front door and move the toggle switch to
the CLEAN position. Wait until the water trough refills
(approximately 1 minute) and then add the proper amount
of Ice Machine Cleaner to the water trough.

Door Removal

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two screws
securing the door. Do not remove, they are retained to
prevent loss.
2. Tilt door forward and lift up to remove.

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

!
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.
