GENERAL
You are responsible for maintaining the ice machine in
accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Maintenance procedures are not covered by the
warranty.
Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months for
efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more
frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified
service company to test the water quality and
recommend appropriate water treatment. An extremely
dirty ice machine must be taken apart for cleaning and
sanitizing.
Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner and Sanitizer are the
only products approved for use in Manitowoc ice
machines.
EXTERIOR CLEANING

necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient

steel products.
