Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance
This ice system requires three types of
maintenance:
•
Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors.
•
Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin.
•
Clean the remote condenser.
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without
human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of
their water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral build up that
forms during the ice making process.
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine
is cleaned and sanitized.
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year.
