Interior Cleaning and Sanitizing

GENERAL

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 or installation of the AuCS→ accessory (Automatic Cleaning System). If required, an extremely dirty ice machine may be taken apart for cleaning and sanitizing.

CAUTION

Use only Manitowoc approved Ice Machine Cleaner (part number 94-0546-3) and Sanitizer (part number 94-0565-3). It is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling. Read and understand all labels printed on bottles before use.

CAUTION

Do not mix Ice Machine 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 Ice Machine Cleaner or Sanitizer.

CLEANING PROCEDURE

Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale or other mineral deposits. It is not used to remove algae or slime. Refer to “Sanitizing Procedure” on the next page for removal of algae and slime. To initiate a cleaning cycle using Manitowoc’s Patented Cleaning Technology use the following procedure.

Step 1 Set the toggle switch to the OFF position after ice falls from the evaporator at the end of a Harvest cycle. Or, set the switch to the OFF position and allow the ice to melt off the evaporator.

CAUTION

Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator. Damage may result.

Step 2 To start a cleaning cycle, move the toggle switch to the CLEAN position. The water will flow through the water dump valve and down the drain. The Clean light will turn on to indicate the ice machine is in the Clean mode.

Step 3 Wait about one minute or until water starts to flow over the evaporator.

Step 4 Add the proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner to the water trough.

Step 5 The ice machine will automatically time out a ten-minute cleaning cycle, followed by six rinse cycles, and then stop. The Clean light will turn off to indicate the clean mode is completed. This entire cycle lasts approximately 25 minutes.

NOTE: Periodic cleaning must be performed on adjacent surface areas not contacted by the water distribution system.

Step 6 When the cleaning process stops, move the toggle switch to the OFF position. Refer to “Sanitizing Procedure” on the next page.

Step 7

A.The ice machine may be set to start and finish a cleaning procedure, and then automatically start ice making again.

B.Wait about one minute into the cleaning cycle (until water starts to flow over the evaporator), then move the switch from CLEAN to ICE position.

C.When the cleaning cycle is completed, the clean light will turn off and a ice making sequence will start automatically.

NOTE: After the toggle switch is moved to the ICE position, opening the curtain switch will interrupt the cleaning sequence. The sequence will resume from the point of interruption when the curtain switch closes.
