SCALA ICE MACHINE MAINTENANCE
4. EVAPORATOR INTERIOR CLEANING:
1.
Switch off the machine, turn off the water.
2.
Remove the evaporator cover to clean all metal components of the evaporator: water
distributor, main shaft, cutter, cutter supports, lower cross, etc...as described in point 3.
3.
Cleaning of all metal parts. Dirt and surface rust stains must be completely removed by rubbing
with a non-abrasive cloth or similar, which does not scratch or damage the metal surfaces of the
walls and supports using soapy water, phosphoric acid in a proportion between 20 and 50% or a
specific product for steel.
Dirt and surface rust must be removed with sufficient frequency when they appear, preventing
them from remaining on the metal components for long periods of time.
In the case of saline environments, the frequency of cleaning should be increased, and
maintenance should be carried out as soon as surface stains are observed and removed as soon
as possible.
IMPORTANT: In cases of prolonged lack of cleaning, dirt and surface rust in humid conditions
could attack and damage the steel of the machine components, so it is recommended to
remove them as soon as they appear. Both the cleaning and the possible deterioration of the
machine due to lack of cleaning are not included in the machine manufacturer's guarantee.
4.
Cleaning the water collection channel. Check the condition of the water channel, clean the water
collection channel and the return inlet to the bucket. Carry out the same procedure as in point 3,
using a plastic bristle brush in the event of stains, accumulation of dirt or surface rust, applying
soapy water.
5.
Rinse the unit with water. Open the drain valve to completely empty the basin (on models that
have one, if not, remove the water by external means). If there are sediments, remove them with
a cloth. Close it again.
6.
Switch on the machine. Start making ice and remove the ice produced in the first 5 minutes.
7. DISINFECTANT:
1.
Disconnect the unit from the electricity.
2.
Closet the inlet water faucet.
3.
Open the drainage faucet (only on machines less than the 5 tons) to drain the water tank
completely. Use a container to collect the water.
4.
Close the drainage faucet.
5.
Prepare a solution with the disinfectant product. Pour the mix slowly in the water tank
(previously remove the cover).
6.
Before connecting the unit, the cold production must be disable. To do so, access the electric
box from the evaporator and disconnect the cable connected to the #6 terminal.
7.
Open the inlet water faucet and connect the unit. Let the solution flow for the time required by
the product used.
8.
After that, open the drainage faucet, or empty the water bin. By doing so the solution will be
diluting, with the water pump on and the inlet water faucet open.
9.
After 10 minutes, stop the unit and close the inlet water faucet. Wait until the whole unit is
