Maintenance:
The water system, including the filter screen in the
inlet water valve, needs to be cleaned periodically.
Instructions are located on the inner door panel.
Water System Cleaning:
1. Place the cycle control knob in the Off position.
2. Remove the two thumb screws, and slide the ice
cutter grid forward, out of the two slots near the
water pan.
3. Unplug the electrical harness.
4. Remove all ice from the storage bin and the
freezing place.
5. Drain the water pan by removing the drain plug.
When finished, replace the drain plug.
6. Pour 2 quarts of hot water into the water pan
and turn the cycle control to "clean". This step
warms up the system and allows the cleaning
solution to be more effective. All the circulate 5
minutes. Turn switch to ’Off" and drain.
Prepare the cleaning solution by thoroughly mixing
2 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner into 2
quarts of hot (95
o
F - 115
o
F.) water. An alternative
solution is 6 ounces of powdered citric acid and 2
quarts of hot water.
7. Pour cleaning solution into water pan and turn
the switch to "Clean". If solution foams while
pouring, stop until foaming subsides, then add
balance of solution. Allow solution to circulate until
scale has dissolved. The circulating solution may
not contact scale on the side flanges of the
freezing plate. To remove this scale, wear rubber
gloves and use a stainless steel sponge or pad
dipped in cleaning solution to scrub the side
flanges until the scale is removed. Generally scale
will be dissolved in 15 to 30 minutes. Severe scale
formation may require repeating the cleaning
process with a fresh quantity of solution if the scale
has not dissolved after 30 minutes.
8. Turn switch to "Off" and drain.
9. Follow cleaning with two fresh water rinses,
circulating each rinse for 5 minutes, and drain.
10. This completes the "in place" cleaning and
sanitizing of the water system and freezing plate.
Other interior components must also be cleaned
and sanitized.
Scotsman ice machine cleaner
contains acids. Acids may
cause burns.
If swallowed do not induce
vomiting. Give large amounts of
water or milk. Call Physician
immediately. In case of external
contact, flush with water.
Keep out of the reach of children.
