Maintenance

General

You are responsible for maintaining the ice machine in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty.

!Warning

If you do not understand the procedures or the safety precautions that must be followed, call your local Manitowoc service representative to perform the maintenance procedures for you.

We recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures a minimum of once every six months to ensure reliable, trouble-free operation and maximum ice production.

Ice Machine Inspection

!Warning

Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and the remote condensing unit at the electric service switch before cleaning the condenser.

Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating against other tubing, panels, etc.

Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) on the sides or back of the ice machine. There must be adequate airflow through and around the ice machine to maximize ice production and ensure long component life.

Exterior Cleaning

Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.

Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They will scratch the panels.

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.
