MANITOWOC’S CLEANING TECHNOLOGY

Manitowoc Flake/Chiplet 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 of all surfaces that come in contact with the water distribution system. Periodic maintenance must be performed that includes sanitizing the bin and adjacent surface areas, which are not contacted by the water distribution system.

Depending on local water conditions Manitowoc recommends initiating preventative maintenance cleaning procedures between the 6 month cleanings.

This preventive maintenance removes mineral build-up from the evaporator, which results in peak efficiency and lower operating costs.

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/sanitizing procedure for complete details.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING PROCEDURE QC700/QF800/QF2300

Use Ice machine cleaner part number 000000084 only.This cleaner is used to remove lime scale or other mineral deposits. It is not used to remove algae or slime. Refer to “Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedure” for removal of algae and slime. To initiate a cleaning cycle using Manitowoc’s Cleaning Technology use the following procedure.

Step 1 Remove front and top covers and set the toggle switch to the OFF position.

Step 2 To start a cleaning cycle, move the toggle switch to the CLEAN position. Water will flow through the water dump valve and down the drain. The flush, gear motor, speed, dump valve and water solenoid lights will energize to indicate the ice machine is in the clean mode.

Step 3 Remove the 1 1/2” yellow plug from the top cover of the water reservoir. Wait about one minute or until the dump valve light de-energizes, then add the proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner and re-install plug.

Step 4 .The ice machine will automatically time out four flush and rinse cycles, and then stop. The flush light remains energized until the toggle switch is moved to the OFF position. This entire cycle lasts approximately 11 minutes.

Model	Amount of Cleaner
	Part Number 000000084
QC700/QF800/QF2300	3 ounces (90 ml)

NOTE: Periodic cleaning must be performed on adjacent surface areas not contacted by the water distribution system.

Manitowoc recommends disassembling, cleaning and sanitizing the ice machine and bin/dispenser every six months.

NOTE: The ice machine may be set to start and finish a cleaning procedure, and then automatically start ice making again. Wait about one minute into the cleaning cycle (until the dump valve light de-energizes), then move the switch from CLEAN to ICE position.

When the cleaning cycle is complete, the flush light will de-energize and ice making will start automatically
