PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING PROCEDURE
Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale or other mineral deposits. It is not used to remove algae or slime.
Refer to “Sanitizing Procedure” for removal of algae and slime. To initiate a cleaning cycle using Manitowoc’s
Cleaning Technology use the following procedure.
Step 1
To start a cleaning cycle, move the toggle switch
to the CLEAN position. Water will flow through the water
dump valve and down the drain.
Step 2
Remove the top panel and translucent plastic
ice chute cover. Wait about one minute then add the
proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner.
Rinse the cleaner from the top of the evaporator with
2 ounces (60 ml) of clear water and re-install cover.
Step 3
The ice machine will run a wash cycle, a series
of rinse cycles and then stop. This entire cycle lasts
approximately 30 minutes.
NOTE: Periodic cleaning must be performed on adjacent
surface areas not contacted by the water distribution
system.
NOTE: The ice machine may be set to start and finish a
cleaning procedure, and then automatically start ice
making again.
A. After cleaner is added move the switch from
CLEAN to ICE position.
B. When the cleaning cycle is complete ice making
will start automatically.
Changing toggle switch position during clean cycle:
1. Less than 60 seconds into Clean cycle - The Clean
cycle will end when the toggle switch is moved to the
OFF position.
2. More than 60 seconds into Clean cycle - The ice
machine will complete the Clean cycle. Toggle
switch position will determine the next cycle after the
Clean cycle is completed.
•
CLEAN POSITION - The ice machine will wait for a
change in toggle switch position.
•
OFF POSITION - The ice machine will wait for a
change in toggle switch position.
•
ICE POSITION - The ice machine will start making
ice automatically.
Manitowoc recommends disassembling, cleaning and
sanitizing the ice machine and dispenser every six
months.
