Interior Cleaning and Sanitizing

GENERAL

Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months for efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified service company to test the water quality and recommend appropriate water treatment. An extremely dirty ice machine must be taken apart for cleaning and sanitizing.

!Caution

Use only Manitowoc approved Ice Machine Cleaner (part number 94-0546-3) and Sanitizer (part number 94-0565-3). It is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling. Read and understand all labels printed on bottles before use.

CLEANING PROCEDURE

!Caution

Do not mix Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions together. It is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling.

!Warning

Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (and/or face shield) when handling ice machine Cleaner or Sanitizer.

Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale or other mineral deposits. It is not used to remove algae or slime. Refer to the section on Sanitizing for removal of algae and slime.

Step 1 Remove top cover. This will allow easiest access for pouring cleaner.

Step 2 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 3 Remove all ice from the bin.

Step 4 To start cleaning, place the toggle switch in 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 5 Wait about two minutes or until water starts to flow over the evaporator.

Step 6 Add the proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner to the water trough by pouring between the water curtain and evaporator.

Model

Amount of Cleaner

S0850M

5 ounces (148 ml)

Step 7 The ice machine will automatically time out a ten minute cleaning cycle, followed by six rinse cycles, and stop. The Clean light will turn off to indicate the Cleaning cycle is completed. This entire cycle lasts approximately 30 minutes.

Step 8 When the cleaning process stops, move the toggle switch to OFF position. Refer to “Sanitizing Procedure” on the next page.

Step 9

A.The ice machine may be set to start and finish a self-cleaning procedure then automatically start ice making again.

B.You must wait about one minute into the cleaning cycle (until water starts to flow over the evaporator) then move the switch from CLEAN to ICE position.

C.When the self-cleaning cycle is completed, an ice making sequence will start automatically.

Important

After the toggle switch is moved to the ICE position, opening the curtain switch will interrupt the cleaning sequence. The sequence will resume from the point of interruption when the curtain switch closes.
