CLEANING
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In
order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance.
Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.
