Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance
This ice system requires three types of maintenance:
•Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors.
•Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin.
•Clean or replace the air filter and clean the air cooled condenser (air cooled models only).
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained.
