6.Preheat the water system by pouring hot water into the reservorr pan until the lower pump housing is covered and circulate for five minutes. Then set service switch to “off” position to syphon out the water. Then set service switch to “clean” position.

7.Slowly pour the cleaning solution into the water reservoir pan. If the solution foams, stop pouring until the foam subsides and then continue pouring until the lower pump housing is covered.

8.Allow the solution to circulate until the scale on the freezing plate surface has dissolved.

9.When the plates are clean, place the service switch in the “off” position. This allows the cleaning solution to syphon out of the reservoir pan into the drain.

NOTE: Circulating cleaning solution for 20 to 30 minutes

will generally remove scale formation. Severe scale formation may require repeating the cleaning process with a

fresh quantity of solution since the effectiveness of the solution is drastically reduced after this period of time.

If scale deposits remain on the side flanges a stainless steel sponge or pad dipped in cleaning solution can be used to

scrub these surfaces. This can best be accomplished after the removal of the lower water distributors.

10 Turn on the water supply to the machine and set the service switch to “clean”. Allow the fresh water to circulate for ten minutes.

11Place the service switch in the “off” position and allow the water to syphon off to the drain. When the reservoir pan has refilled with water, place the service switch in the “clean” position and allow the water to circulate for ten more minutes.

12.Place the service switch in the “off” position and allow the water to syphon off to the drain.

14.Remove the ice cube deflectors between each cutter grid. The lower left edge has a locking tab which must clear the grid frame. Push left and up on the lower edge of the deflector. The right edge then readily comes off the lower flange of the cutter grid above.

15. Remove	the	lower		water distributors.	Lift up	on the
right side	and pull		the left edge off of the cutter grid.
The plastic		distributor		may have to	be flexed	slightly
to get if off		the grid		flange.

Wash the deflectors and distributors with a mrld detergent solution, rinse with clean water and sanitize

with the sanitizer solution. If heavy scale exists the

components may be soaked in cleaning solution to remove the scale.
