Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation.
Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth rinsed in water to remove dust and dirt from the outside of the
ice machine. If a greasy residue persists, use a damp cloth rinsed in a mild dish soap and water
solution. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
The exterior panels have a clear coating that is stain resistant and easy to clean. Products containing
abrasives will damage the coating and scratch the panels.
• Never use steel wool or abrasive pads for cleaning.
• Never use chlorinated, citrus based or abrasive cleaners on exterior panels and plastic trim pieces.
Cleaning / Sanitizing Procedure
•
Warning
Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (and/or face shield) when handling Ice
Machine Cleaner or Sanitizer.
•
Caution
Do not mix Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions together. It is a violation of Federal law to
use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling
•
Caution
Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator. Damage may result.
Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale and mineral deposits. Ice machine sanitizer
disinfects and removes algae and slime. For the cleaner and sanitizer,
Ecolab company’s
products, Kay Delimer
as the cleaner and kay5 as sanitizer are recommend.
NOTE: Although not required and dependant on your installation, removing the ice machine top
cover may allow easier access.
Step 1
Open the front door to access the evaporator compartment. Ice must not be on the
evaporator during the clean/sanitize cycle. Follow one of the methods below:
• Toggle the switch on “off” position at the end of a harvest cycle after ice falls from the
evaporator(s).
• Toggle the switch on “off” position and allow the ice to melt.
Step 2
Remove all ice from the bin/dispenser.
Step 3
Toggle the switch on “clean” position. Water will flow through the water dump valve and
down the drain. Wait until the water trough refills (approximately 1 minute), then add the proper
amount of ice machine cleaner.
