General Ice Machine Inspection
1.Check all water fittings and tubes for leaks. Also, make sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrat- ing against other tubing panels, etc.
2.Do not stack anything ( boxes, etc.) on or around the ice machine.
3.Do not cover the ice machine while it is operating. There must be adequate air flow through and around the ice machine to ensure long component life and adequate ice production.
Cleaning the Exterior
1.Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient opera- tion.
2.Sponge dust and dirt off the outside of the ice machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
WARNING: Stainless steel panels should be cleaned with mild soap or a commercial stainless steel cleaner. Do not use cleaners containing bleaching agents; they usually contain chlorine which stains stainless steel. Heavy stains should be removed with
stainless steel wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads because they will scratch the panel and cause rusting.
Cleaning the Condenser
CAUTION: Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the electric service switch box before cleaning condenser !
A dirty condenser restricts airflow which results in excessively high operating temperatures. High operating tem- peratures reduces ice production and shorten component life. Clean the condenser at least every six months.
CAUTION: Condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning them.
