Note: Use a clean plastic bottle fitted with a stopper 

or cap that has a pouring tube and a vent to facilitate 

mixing and pouring of the specified solutions.

1.  Mix 3 oz. of Scotsman Clear 1 Scale Remover in 

a gallon of warm water.

2.  If the ice machine is operating, wait until the ice 

falls out of the evaporator, then move the Ice-

Clean Switch to the “Clean” position.

3. 

Empty the storage bin and turn off any other ice 

machines on the same bin.

4. 

After the water fill is complete, turn off the ice 

machine.  

5.  Separate the probe cap from the water level 

control tube.

6.  Hold the water level control tube upright, so that 

it does not overflow.

7.  Pour about half of the cleaning solution into the 

top of the water level control tube.

8.  Return the probes and cap to the water level 

control tube.

9.  Pour the remaining cleaning solution into the 

control stream box.

10. Turn on the ice machine and allow the solution 

to circulate for 15 minutes then pull down on the 

right side of the water plate. This will cause it to 

open and dump the cleaning solution and then 

refill with water. Repeat the dump process three 

times to be sure all the cleaning solution is rinsed 

out of the machine.

11. Mix a sanitizing solution containing 0.5 ounce

Pull down on the right side of the water plate, to 

cause it to open and dump the sanitizing solution 

and then refill with water. Repeat this process 

two times to be sure all the cleaning solution is 

rinsed out of the machine. If necessary, adjust 

the water level probes to the proper levels.

14. While the cleaning and sanitizing solutions are 

circulating, clean and rinse all accessible parts 

and surfaces of the ice machine with clean 

towels and . Mix a cleaning solution containing 

8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) (96g) baking soda and 

1 Gal. (3.8 Liter) of warm water and a sanitizing 

solution containing 1 teaspoon (5 ML) 5-1/4% 

sodium hypochlorite and two quarts (1.9 Liter) of 

clean water.

15. After cleaning has been completed, move the 

Ice-Clean Switch to the “Ice” position. Check the 

operation of the machine, particularly the water 

level and subsequent ice cube formation.  Adjust 

the water level probes if needed.
