REMOVAL OF PARTS FOR
CLEANING/SANITIZING
1. Turn off the water supply to the ice machine at
the water service valve.
WARNING
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electric switch box before proceeding.
2. Remove the following parts:
• water trough
• water curtain
• water pump
• water distribution tube
• ice thickness probe
(See the following pages for removal procedures
for these parts.)
CAUTION
Do not mix Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions
together. It is a violation of Federal law to use these
solutions in a manner inconsistent with their
labeling.
WARNING
Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (and/or face
shield) when handling Cleaner or Sanitizer solution.
3. Soak the removed parts in a properly mixed
solution.
Solution Type Water Mixed With
Cleaner 1 gal. (4 l) 16 oz (500 ml) cleaner
Sanitizer 4 gal. (15 l) 1 oz (30 ml) sanitizer
4. Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge (NOT a wire
brush) to carefully clean the parts.
CAUTION
Do not immerse the water pump motor in the
cleaning or sanitizing solution.
5. Use the solution and a brush to clean the top,
sides, and bottom evaporator extrusions; the
inside of the ice machine panels; and the entire
inside of the bin.
6. Thoroughly rinse all of the parts and surfaces with
clean water.
7. Install the removed parts.
NOTE: Incomplete rinsing of the ice thickness probe
may leave a residue. This could cause the ice machine
to go into the harvest cycle prematurely. For best
results, brush or wipe the probe off while rinsing it.
Thoroughly dry the probe before installing it.
8. Turn on the water and electrical supply.
