Section 4 Maintenance
Step 4 Wait until the cycle is complete
(approximately 24 minutes). Then
disconnect power to the ice machine (and
dispenser when used).
n
Warning
Disconnect the electric power to the ice
machine at the electric service switch box.
Step 5 Remove parts for descaling.
Notice
Refer to parts removal page 47.
Continue with Step 6 when the parts have
been removed.
Step 6 Mix a solution of cleaner/descaler
and lukewarm water. Depending upon
the amount of mineral buildup, a larger
quantity of solution may be required. Use
the ratio in the table below to mix enough
solution to thoroughly descale all parts.
Solution
Type
Water Mixed With
Cleaner/
Descaler
1 gal (4 L)
16 oz
(475 ml)
cleaner/descaler
Step 7 Use half of the cleaner/descaler
& water mixture to descale all components.
Use caution not to expose electrical
connectors to liquid and soak parts for 5
minutes (15 - 20 minutes for heavily scaled
parts). The solution will foam when it
contacts lime scale and mineral deposits;
once the foaming stops, use a soft-bristle
nylon brush, sponge or cloth (NOT a wire
brush) to carefully descale the parts. When
descaling is complete rinse all removed
components with clean water
Step 8 While components are soaking,
use half of the solution to descale all food
zone surfaces of the ice machine and bin
(or dispenser). Use a nylon brush or cloth
to thoroughly descale the following ice
machine areas:
• Side walls
• Base (area above water trough)
• Evaporator plastic parts - including top,
bottom and sides
• Bin or dispenser
Rinse all areas thoroughly with clean water.
SANITIZING PROCEDURE
Step 9 Mix a solution of sanitizer and
lukewarm water.
Solution
Type
Water Mixed With
Sanitizer 3 gal (12 L)
2 oz
(60 ml)
sanitizer
Step 10 Use half of the sanitizer/
water solution to sanitize all removed
components. Fill a spray bottle and use
caution not to expose electrical connectors
to liquid and liberally apply the solution to
all surfaces of the removed parts or soak
the removed parts in the sanitizer/water
solution. Do not rinse parts after sanitizing.
