SANITIZING AND CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Turn unit off at switch in upper rear right side panel.
2. Turn water off and remove water hose from bottom of float chamber inside of ice bin and allow to drain from
the evaporator via the hose end; or
3. Remove float chamber cover and while holding float up to prevent more water from entering the float
chamber, remove water hose from float chamber and proceed to drain the float chamber and evaporator.
4. With water still off, restore water hose to float chamber and add 1 oz. of ”sanitizer”(see note below). Turn
water on.
5. Remove the bin door, float chamber cover, ice chute trim cover, two thumb screws and chute trim gasket.
6. Using soap, hot water, and a non--metallic bristle brush or plastic scouring pad, scrub the parts removed in
step 4 as well as the interior of the ice bin, ice chute, thermowell, door tracks, ice bin top, and around bin
opening.
NOTE:
Use care when cleaning around thermowell sensing tube; the small capillary is easily broken.
Rinse all parts in clean water.
7. In a 5 gallon bucket, mix a sanitizing solution of 1 oz. of sanitizer to 1 gallon of warm water (100
°
to 120
°
F).
8. Place all small, loose parts into the sanitizing solution and allow them to soak for 10 minutes.
9. Using a clean cloth and the sanitizing solution, wipe down the interior of the ice chute, thermowell door
tracks, ice bin top, and around bin opening. Allow to air dry.
10. Reassemble the float chamber cover, ice chute gasket and cover, and bin door.
11. Turn unit switch on and allow machine to make ice for at least 1/2 hour then discard all of the ice.
DO NOT
ALLOW ICE WITH SANITIZER IN IT TO BE USED.
NOTE:
APPROVED SANITIZER: Household bleach such as Hi- Lex or Clorox.
WATER TREATMENT
During the freezing process, the impurities in the water have a tendency to be rejected.
However, the more dissolved solids in the water, the more troublesome the freezing operation will be. Bicarbon-
ates in the water are the most troublesome of the impurities. These impurities will cause scaling on the evapo-
rator, clogging of the float valve mechanism and other parts in the water system. If the concentration of impuri-
ties is high, wet mushy ice may be the result.
Parts of the ice maker, that are in contact with the water or ice, may corrode if the water is high in acidity. In
some areas, water may have to be treated in order to overcome some of the problems that arise because of the
mineral content.
IMI Cornelius has water filter/treatment systems available to control imputities found in your water supply. Con-
tact your local dealer for more information.
