Preventive Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is a vital part of keeping your
dispenser in top condition. Following the guidelines
below will assist you in continued trouble-free operation
of your unit.
1. Conduct daily maintenance of the machine.
2. Perform monthly maintenance of the machine.
3. Perform periodic maintenance and sanitizing
dispensing system.
4. Do not overfill the dispenser bin with ice.
5. Do not allow the dispenser to sit for prolonged
periods of non use with ice in the bin.
6. Most ice dispenser service problems are caused by
low usage of the ice dispenser.
7. Do not allow ice to remain in the bin more than a day
in order to prevent ice from freezing together and/or
stagnant ice.
Possible excess ice storage reasons:
•
Storage capacity exceeds daily requirements.
•
Low demand during the off season.
•
Dispenser oversized with future growth in mind.
Lower ice storage to meet one day’s needs. If you
manually fill ice, fill only with the appropriate amount of
ice. Fill the dispenser with fresh ice each morning. Do
not fill the dispenser at night just before shut down. Ice
cubes can freeze together if not dispensed.
