for efficient operation. If the ice machine requires
more frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a
qualified service company to test the water quality
and recommend appropriate water treatment.
If required, an extremely dirty ice machine may be
taken apart for cleaning and sanitizing.

Sanitizer. It is a violation of Federal law to use
these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their
