Cleaning procedures

Recommended monthly cleaning of condenser 

(air-cooled icemaker only)

1. Use vacuum cleaner or stiff brush to carefully clean condenser coils of air-cooled icemaker to ensure optimal

performance.

2. When reinstalling counter panels in front of remote icemakers, be sure ventilation louvers line up with

condenser air duct.

Preventive maintenance

Periodic cleaning of Follett’s icemaker system is required to ensure peak performance and delivery of clean,
sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures which follow should be performed at least as frequently as
recommended below and more often if environmental conditions dictate.

Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning of the icemaker system in
most cases should be performed by your facility’s 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.
