ICE MACHINE CARE
CLEANING (Cont.)
ICE-MAKING SYSTEM CLEANING
Minerals that are removed from the water during the freezing cycle will
eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the
system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often to clean
the system depends upon how hard your water is or how effective your
filtration may be. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/ liter),
you may need to clean the system as often as once every 6 months.
NOTE: Use a commercially available nickel-safe Ice Machine Cleaner
solution to remove scale deposits. Read and follow all handling information
on the cleaner bottle before completing the following steps:
1. Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being formed,
wait until the cycle is completed, then press the machine's ON/OFF
switch on the control panel.
2 Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice machine connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of a
nickel-safe Ice Machine Cleaner solution into the water trough. Then
press the ON/ OFF switch and the CLEAN button, initiating the wash
cycle. The machine will run in the Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, press the ON/OFF
switch again. Use a drainage tube on the front of the water trough to
drain off the waste water to a convenient container.
NOTE: Don't drain off the waste water to the inside of the cabinet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Machine Cleaning Solution) three
times to rinse the ice making system thoroughly.
NOTE: Ice Machine Cleaner Solution in the water bin during the rinse is
not needed.
6. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and
2 gallons of hot water (95ºF to 115ºF). Wipe the entire bin inside and
outside, covering the entire surface of the walls.
7. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and
edges, making sure to cover all surfaces with the solution.
8. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry.
9 Repeat steps 1 to 5 with the sanitizing solution of step 6 replacing the
Nickel Safe ice machine cleaner solution and filling the water trough to
its maximum level.
10. Repeat step 5 to rinse the ice making system one more time
11. Press the ON/OFF button again. The machine will return to the regular
ice making mode. Discard the first batch of ice.
