6.Pour % gallon (1.9 L) of hot tap water into the water pan and turn the service or cycle switch to

“CLEAN.” This warms up the system to make the

cleaning solution more effective. Let circulate for

five minutes. While tap water is circulating, prepare cleaning solution. Mix:

6 oz. (1709) powdered citric, or phosphoric

acid	into
% gallon		(1.9 L) hot	water
(Citric	and	phosphoric	acid crystais	are	available
from	many	pharmacies	or scientific	supply	houses.)

Commercial Ice Machine cleaners (liquid) are also

available from your dealer or refrigeration parts

supply stores. Mix according to instructions on

label (total quantity % gallon [I .9 L.1 1.

7. Turn Service or Cycle switch to “OFF” and drain tap water. (See step 5.)

the hot cleaning solution into the water pan. (If

the solution foams while pouring, wait until

foaming stops.) Then add the balance of the solution.

Allow solution to circulate unti! the scale has dissoived (15 to 30 minutes). Severe scale build-up may require repeated cleaning with a fresh quantity of cleaning solution.

To clean scale off the side flanges of the freezing plate, use rubber gloves and scrub with a plastic scrubby or nonsoap filled stainless steel pad dipped in cleaning solution.

9. Drain the cleaning solution. Using the rubber gloves, remove the drain plug and set the switch to “OFF.”
