Section 4
Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedure
This procedure must be performed a minimum of once every
six months.
• The ice machine and bin must be disassembled cleaned
and sanitized.
• All ice produced during the cleaning and sanitizing
procedures must be discarded.
• Removes mineral deposits from areas or surfaces that are
in direct contact with water.
Preventative Maintenance Cleaning Procedure
• This procedure cleans all components in the water flow
path, and is used to clean the ice machine between the
bi-yearly cleaning/sanitizing procedure.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary
to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth rinsed in water to remove
dust and dirt from the outside of the ice machine. If a greasy
residue persists, use a damp cloth rinsed in a mild dish soap
and water solution. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
The exterior panels have a clear coating that is stain resistant
and easy to clean. Products containing abrasives will damage
the coating and scratch the panels.
• Never use steel wool or abrasive pads for cleaning.
• Never use chlorinated, citrus based or abrasive cleaners
on exterior panels and plastic trim pieces.
