Maintenance
Step 6 Mix a solution of cleaner and lukewarm water.
Depending upon the amount of mineral buildup, a larger
quantity of solution may be required. Use the ratio in the
table below to mix enough solution to thoroughly clean all
parts.
Solution Type
Water
Mixed with
Cleaner
1 gal. (4 L)
16 oz (500 ml) cleaner
Step 7 Use 1/2 of the cleaner/water mixture to clean
all components. The cleaner solution will foam when it
contacts lime scale and mineral deposits; once the foaming
stops use a soft-bristle nylon brush, sponge or cloth (NOT
a wire brush) to carefully clean the parts. Soak parts for
5 minutes (15-20 minutes when heavily scaled). Rinse all
components with clean water.
Step 8 While components are soaking, use 1/2 of the
cleaner/water solution to clean all foodzone surfaces of the
ice machine and bin (or dispenser). Use a nylon brush or
cloth to thoroughly clean the following ice machine areas:
• Evaporator plastic parts – including top, bottom and
sides
• Bin bottom, sides and top
Rinse all areas thoroughly with clean water.
SANITIZING PROCEDURE
Step 9 Mix a solution of sanitizer and lukewarm water.
Solution Type
Water
Mixed with
Sanitizer
3 gal. (12 L)
2 oz (60 ml) sanitizer
Step 10 Use 1/2 of the sanitizer/water solution to sanitize
all removed components. Use a spray bottle to liberally
apply the solution to all surfaces of the removed parts or
soak the removed parts in the sanitizer/water solution. Do
not rinse parts after sanitizing.
Step 11 Use 1/2 of the sanitizer/water solution to sanitize
all foodzone surfaces of the ice machine and bin (or
dispenser). Use a spray bottle to liberally apply the solution.
When sanitizing, pay particular attention to the following
areas:
• Evaporator plastic parts - including top, bottom and
sides
• Ice machine base (top of bin) and area above the water
trough
• Bin sides and bottom
Do not rinse the sanitized areas.
Step 12 Replace all removed components.
Step 13 Wait 25 minutes.
Step 14 Reapply power to the ice machine and place the
toggle switch in the CLEAN position.
Step 15 Wait until the water trough refills, then add the
proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Sanitizer to the
water trough.
Model
Amount of Sanitizer
K0250 K0350 K0420
K0500 K0600 K1000
3 ounces (90 ml)
K1350 K1800
6 ounces (180 ml)
Step 16 After the sanitize cycle is complete (approximately
24 minutes) move the toggle switch to the ICE position to
start ice making.
