How to clean the condenser.
The condenser is like the radiator on a car, it has
fins and tubes that can become clogged. To clean:
1. Remove the kickplate.
2. Locate the condenser surface.
3. Vacuum the surface, removing all dust and lint.
Caution: Do not dent the fins.
4. Replace the kickplate.
Winterizing
1. Clean the machine as explained on the next
page.
2. Open the door and switch the machine off.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Drain the water reservoir by removing the rubber
cap on the back wall of the ice storage bin.
5. Disconnect the incoming water line at the inlet
water valve.
6. Switch the machine to On.
7. Blow air through the inlet water valve until water
stops flowing from it; a tire pump could do the job.
8. Drain pump models should have about 1/2
gallon of RV antifreeze (propylene glycol) poured
into the ice storage bin drain.
Note: Automotive antifreeze must NOT be used.
9. Switch off and unplug the machine.
How to clean the ice making system.
1. Scoop out all of the ice, either discard it or save
it in a ice chest or cooler.
2. Pour 8 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Scale
Remover (available from a local Scotsman
Distributor or Dealer) into the ice machine
reservoir.
3. Allow the machine to operate for about 2 hours.
4. Pour hot (95
o
F. – 115
o
F.) water into the bin to
melt the ice that has formed. That ice will likely be
white and frosty looking.
5. Clean the bin liner of mineral scale by mixing
some ice machine scale remover with hot water,
and using that solution to scrub the scale off of the
liner.
6. Rinse the liner with hot water.
7. Sanitize the bin interior.
8. Replace the ice removed in step 2.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly, wash it
just like any other food container.
