MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the air cooled condenser be cleaned every 3 months or sooner depending on the oper-
ating environment for proper refrigeration system performance, Check that this condenser is free of dirt/foreign
material that could cause air flow blockage.
cleaning of the icemaker is recommended on a regular basis not only for sanitary reasons but also to maintain
the performance of the unit. Build-up of lime and scale can hinder icemaking production rates and interfere with
proper dispensing of the ice. See the cleaning section for the recommended procedure.
Periodically, check the vending area sink for proper water drainage. Remove any foreign material from the sink
to prevent drain blockage.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The icemaker should be cleaned at a minimum of 3 month intervals or more frequently
depending on local water conditions. The storage hopper interior should be cleaned at
least once a month.
WARNING: Do no use metal scrapers, sharp objects or abrasives on the surface of the
storage hopper, as damage may result. Do not use solvents or other cleaning agents as
they may attack the plastic surface. Use only the recommended chemicals and solutions
for both the icemaker and hopper
Icemaker Section
1. Remove top cover, lower front panel and right side access panel.
2. Put toe stop/run switch in the “stop”position at the end of the harvest cycle. An alternate method would be
to stop the unit during the icemaking cycle and allow ice in the evaporator to melt by waiting for at least 1
hour before beginning the cleaning procedure. The flush switch can be depressed to bring in warmer water
to help the melting process.
WARNING: Electrical power is on to unit during icemaker cleaning mode. To avoid
possible injury, do not reach into hopper or into icemaker nozzle. Do not contact exposed
electrical wiring and components.
3. Plug icemaker drain line located in the drain collector at condenser fan motor. (1-1/4 OD hose).
4. Fill icemaker drain hose with water by pushing fill switch.
5. Add 4 oz. of Virginia Ice Machine Cleaner (or equivalent) through the evaporator outlet.
WARNING: Virginia Ice Machine Cleaner (or equivalent is a mild acid. Normal care should
be taken - keep out of eyes and cuts. Read warnings on package before using. Do not
operate unit in the cleaning mode without the ice drop cover in place. There may be some
overflow of cleaning solution through the evaporator vent tube during the cleaning cycle.
6. Seal the evaporator outlet with plastic lug provided with the unit.
7. Push fill switch and fill evaporator (when fluid flows out of evaporator through vent tube) let go of fill switch.
8. Put the clean/run switch in the “clean”position. Allow unit to run in the cleaning mode for at least 30 min-
utes.
