5.Carefully wipe off the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. Do not bend the fan blades. If the fan blades are excessively dirty, wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

!Caution

If you are cleaning the condenser fan blades with water, cover the fan motor to prevent water damage and disconnect electrical power.

Water-Cooled Condenser

and Water Regulating Valve

Symptoms of restrictions in the condenser water circuit include:

•Low ice production

•High water consumption

•High operating temperatures

•High operating pressures

If the ice machine is experiencing any of these symptoms, the water-cooled condenser and water regulating valve may require cleaning due to scale build-up.

Because the cleaning procedures require special pumps and cleaning solutions, qualified maintenance or service personnel must perform them.

AlphaSan®

The goal of AlphaSan® is to keep the plastic surfaces of an ice machine cleaner, by reducing or delaying the formation of bio-film. The active ingredient in AlphaSan® is the element silver in the form of silver ions (Ag+). AlphaSan® slowly releases silver ions via an ion exchange mechanism. When AlphaSan® is compounded directly into a plastic part, a controlled release of silver ions from the surface is regulated to maintain an effective concentration at or near the surface of the plastic ice machine part. AlphaSan’s® unique ability to effectively control the release of silver not only protects against undesired discoloration of the plastic, but also will last the life of the plastic part. Although AlphaSan® helps prevent bio-film build up it does not eliminate the need for periodic cleaning and maintenance. AlphaSan® has no adverse effect on the taste of the ice or beverage.
