WARNING
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the icemaker from the electrical supply network.
This appliance must not be cleaned by use of a water jet.
CAUTION
When using a neutral cleaner or sodium hypochlorite, thoroughly read and understand the instructions provided to prevent
potential health problems.
NOTICE
Ask a trained service person to clean and sanitize the icemaker water system at least twice a year and to check and clean the
condenser at least once a year.
To prevent possible damage, do not clean the plastic parts with water above 40°C or in a dishwasher.
[a] Machine and Bin Exterior
Wipe the exterior at least once per week with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off
grease or dirt.
[b] Scoop and Storage Bin Handle Cleaning/Sanitisation (Daily)
1) Either mix 1 litre of water with 4 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a suitable container, or the recommended
Hoshizaki sanitiser as directed.
2) Soak the scoop in the solution for more than 3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and shake to remove surplus liquid.
Note: Using a cloth to dry may re-contaminate.
3) Use a neutral cleaner to wash the storage bin handle. Rinse thoroughly.
4) Soak a clean cloth with the sanitising solution, and wipe the handle. Use fresh water and a clean cloth to rinse/dry.
[c] Storage Bin Interior Cleaning/Sanitisation (Weekly)
1) Open the storage bin door, and remove all ice.
Note: Hoshizaki recommends various types of storage bin for the icemaker which vary in size and design. The following
instructions are therefore for general guidance only.
2) Remove the thumbscrews securing the baffle.
3) Remove the baffle from the bin.
4) Wash the bin liner and baffle with a neutral non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly.
5) Either mix 5 litres of water with 18 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a
suitable container, or the recommended Hoshizaki sanitiser as directed.
6) Soak a clean sponge or cloth with the solution, and wipe the bin liner surfaces
and baffle.
7) Refit the baffle and thumbscrews. Wipe the surface of the bin door and
thumbscrews with the solution. Close the bin door.
8) The remaining solution can be used to sanitise utensils.
Note: Do not wipe dry or rinse after sanitising, but allow to air dry.
