8. CLEANING OF WATER SYSTEM
1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least twice a year. More frequent
cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.
2. Do not touch the operation switch with damp hands.
3. Always wear rubber gloves, eye protectors, apron, etc. for safe handling of the
cleaner and sanitiser.
4. Use the cleaners and sanitisers recommended by Hoshizaki. Contact your local
Hoshizaki office for further details. (The instructions below give an example of
those recommended cleaners and sanitisers.)
5. Never mix cleaning and sanitising solutions in an attempt to shorten cleaning time.
6. Wipe off any splashed or spilt cleaner/sanitiser immediately.
7. Do not use any ammonia type cleaners on any part of the icemaker.
WARNING
Do not use ice produced with cleaning and sanitizing solutions. Be sure none
remains in the storage bin on completion of cleaning.
