the vended water operator. All dispensing devices
and dispensing parts should be cleaned and
sanitized each time the device is serviced; whereas,
all surfaces in contact with the vended ice shall be
maintained as a deposit free, visibly clean system. A
record of cleaning should be kept by the owner for
each ice dispensing device for a period of two years
and be available for inspection upon request. See
the Ice Maker & Ice Storage Bin Cleaning / Sanitizing
Guide in this manual or on page
Sanitizing
Your ice and water vending machine and its
components should be sanitized every 6 months
or immediately if your water, ice maker or vending
machine is thought to be contaminated, if a boil
water notice is issued, if your machine is shut down
for the season or other reasons, or if a UV filter
malfunction occurs. A record of sanitizing should be
kept by the owner for each ice dispensing device for
a period of two years and be available for inspection
upon request.

premises inside your machine.
The acceptable methods of testing for maximum
contaminant levels for microbiological contaminants
in ice from ice dispensing devices are:

any reason (i.e. coliform positive or unsuitable
for analysis), the operator shall notify the health
department.

cartridges. Until the sample results are known
satisfactory the device shall remain out of service.
3. If after being cleaned and sanitized, the vended
ice is determined to be unsatisfactory, the machine
shall remain out of service until the source of the
contamination has been located and corrected and a
negative sample obtained.
