WATER-COOLED CONDENSER AND WATER REGULATING VALVE
The
Low ice production, high water consumption and high operating temperatures and pressures all may be symptoms of restrictions in the condenser water circuit.
Because the cleaning procedures require special pumps and cleaning solutions, they must be performed by qualified maintenance or service personnel. Follow the manufacturer instructions for the specific product used.
MANITOWOC’S PATENTED CLEANING OR SANITIZING TECHNOLOGY
Manitowoc ice machines include technology that allows the initiation and completion of a cleaning or sanitizing cycle at the flip of a switch. This cycle will permit cleaning or sanitizing of all surfaces that come in contact with the water distribution system. Periodic maintenance must be performed that includes sanitizing the bin (or dispenser) and adjacent surface areas, which can not be contacted by the water distribution system.
This technology will also allow initiation and completion of a clean or sanitize cycle after which the ice machine automatically starts ice making again.
Refer to the cleaning or sanitizing procedure for complete details.
