Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning Water System:

The water system is cleaned by pumping a mixture
of water and Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner
through the water reservoir into the evaporator and
into the ice storage bin as ice.

1. Locate the master switch, and move it to the
OFF position.

2. Empty the bin of ice.

3. Locate knobs holding hood to bin and remove
them.

4. Remove hood from ice machine.

5. Remove the right and left grills.

6. Locate knobs holding bin to chassis and remove.

7. Disconnect drain hose from bin.

8. Lift up on front of bin and rotate bin off of
chassis.

9. Remove cover plate over reservoir.

10. Block the float up to shut off water flow.

11. Locate the evaporator drain, unplug it and
drain the evaporator. Re-plug the drain.

12. Place the bin back onto the chassis.

13. Reconnect the drain hose to the bin drain.

14. Mix a solution of 1.5 quarts of warm (95

0

F. -

115

0

F.) water and 4 ounces of Scotsman Ice

Machine Cleaner.

15. Pour the cleaning solution into the reservoir
until it is full and wait 20 minutes.

16. Move the master switch to ON, continue to
pour cleaning solution into the reservoir until it has
all been used.

17. After all of the solution has been poured in,
remove the block from under the float.

18. Operate the unit for 15 more minutes, and then
taste the ice, if not sour tasting all of the ice
machine cleaner has been used up. Do not go to
the next step until the ice has no sour taste.

19. Pour clean water into the bin to melt any ice
produced during cleaning.

Note: The ice making portion of the water system
should be sanitized after cleaning by repeating
steps 15-18, except substitute an the following
sanitizing solution for the cleaning solution.

••

Mix a sanitizing solution of 1 ounce of
household bleach to 2 gallons of warm (95

20. Replace the grills, cover plate and hood. 

21. The unit is now ready for automatic operation
or sanitizing of the ice storage bin.
