Maintenance
We strongly recommend regular maintenance of this ice machine. During normal operation mineral scale that is in the water supply will gradually build up on the ice making surfaces. That build up can cause excessive loading of the ice making system, which can cause premature failure. Regular removal of the mineral scale will lengthen the product’s life.
Suggested maintenance schedule: every 6 months.
Type of maintenance: Scale removal, water seal check, water reservoir check, bin drain check, air cooled condenser cleaning and storage bin sanitation.
