Sanitizing And Cleaning

ICEU060

An Ice-O-Matic ice machine represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance. It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. The following is a list of recommended maintenance that will help keep the machine running with a minimum of problems. Maintenance and cleaning should be scheduled at least every six (6) months.

General

The periods and procedures for maintence are provided as a guide. Cleaning will vary depending upon local water conditions and amount of ice used. Each ice maker must be maintained individually, in accordance with its own requirements.

Icemaker In Place Cleaning

1.Remove the ice from the bin.

2.Remove the front panel.

3.Rotate the control knob counterclockwise to the OFF position.

4.Remove the curtain by pulling forward on the left end, and then pulling the curtain to the left and out of the machine.

5.Lift up spray platform, locate the stand pipe to the right of the opening, and pull it out to drain the reservoir. Replace the stand pipe, spray platform, and curtain.

6.Mix approximately 3 ounces of approved ice machine cleaner with 1.5 quarts of warm (95ºF-115ºF) potable water, and pour this solution into the reservoir at the curtain base.

Ice machine cleaner contains acids. These compounds may cause burns. If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk. Call Physician immediately. In case of external contact, flush with water.

7.Rotate the control knob the “normal” position. Operate the machine for 20 minutes.

8.Then switch the toggle switch to the “cleaning position for about three minutes to release all the cubes from their cups.

9.Switch the cleaning toggle switch to the “operation” position, and allow the machine to run for 30 minutes, or until the next batch of ice is released.

10.Pour hot water into the bin to melt the ice produced during cleaning, and to clean out the drain. Wipe the interior of the bin with mild soap and hot water, rinse with cold water.

To sanitize, prepare ½ ounce of approved (EPA/FDA) sodium hypochloride food equipment sanitizer to 1 gallon of warm water to form a solution with 100 minimum to 200 maximum ppm free chlorine yield, and repeat steps 3-10, except substitute the sanitizer solution for the ice machine cleaner solution.

11.Replace the front panel

Ice Maker Maintenance

1.Shut off water supply to the icemaker.

2.Disconnect the water inlet tube from the connection at the back of the icemaker, and check the screen at that point. If very dirty, carefully pull the screen out and clean it. Reassemble the water line to the icemaker.

3.Open the water shutoff valve.

4.Unplug the power cord to disconnect electrical power to the icemaker.

5.Remove the front panel.

6.Clean the air-cooled condenser fins using a brush or vacuum cleaner, or if needed, coil cleaner. A dirty condenser coil reduces the ice making capacity of this machine.
