Ice Machine Inspection

Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating against other tubing, panels, etc.

Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) on the sides or back of the ice machine. There must be adequate airflow through and around the ice machine to maximize ice production and ensure long component life.

Exterior Cleaning

Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation. Use cleaners designed for use with stainless steel products.

Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They will scratch the panels.

Cleaning the Condenser

GENERAL

!Warning

Disconnect electric power to the ice machine head section and the remote condensing unit at the electric service switches before cleaning the condenser.

A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production and shortens component life. Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps below.

!Warning

The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning them.

1.The washable aluminum filter on self-contained ice machines is designed to catch dust dirt lint and grease. Clean the filter with a mild soap and water.

2.Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Be careful not to bend the condenser fins.

3.Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains:

A.Blow compressed air through the condenser fins from the inside. Be careful not to bend the fan blades.

B.Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow the directions and cautions supplied with the cleaner.
