Sanitizing Procedure

Use sanitizer to remove algae or slime. Do not use it to remove lime scale or other mineral deposits. To initiate a sanitizing cycle using Manitowoc’s Patented Cleaning/Sanitizing 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 sanitizing 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 Cleaning 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 Sanitizer to the water trough.

Model	Amount of Sanitizer
Q1800	6 ounces (180 ml)

Step 5 The ice machine will automatically time out a ten-minute sanitizing cycle, followed by six rinse cycles, and then stop. The Clean light will turn off to indicate the sanitizing 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. If the bin requires sanitizing, remove all of the ice and sanitize it with a solution of 1 ounce (30 ml) of sanitizer with up to 4 gallons (15/l) of water.

Step 6 When the sanitizing process stops, move the toggle switch to the ICE position to start making ice again.

Step 7

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

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

C.When the sanitizing 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 sanitizing sequence. The sequence will resume from the point of interruption when the curtain switch closes.
