H. Remove the Bin Door
• Grasp the rear of the bin door and pull bin door
forward approximately 5”.
• Slide bin door to the rear while applying upward
pressure (The rear door pins will ride up into the
track slot and slide backward to the stop tab).
• While applying pressure against the bin door pull
down on the rear of each bin door track until the
door pins clear the stop tabs.
• Slide the rear door pins off the end and then
below the door track. Slide bin door forward
allowing the back of the door to lower into the
bin. Continue forward with the bin door until the
front pins bottom out in the track.
• Lift right side of door until the front pins clear the
track, then remove door from bin.
Step 7 Mix a solution of cleaner and warm water.
Depending on the amount of mineral buildup, a larger
quantity of solution may be required. Use the ratio in
the table below to mix enough solution to thoroughly
clean all parts.
Solution Type Water Mixed with
Cleaner 1 gal. (4 l) 16 oz (500 ml) cleaner
Step 8 Use ½ of the cleaner/water solution to clean
all components. The cleaner solution will foam when
it contacts lime scale and mineral deposits; once the
foaming stops use a soft bristle brush, sponge or cloth
(not a wire brush) to carefully clean the parts. Soak
the parts for 5 minutes (15 – 20 minutes for heavily
scaled parts). Rinse all components with clean water.
Step 9 While components are soaking, use ½ of the
cleaner/water solution to clean all foodzone surfaces
of the ice machine and bin. Use a nylon brush or
cloth to thoroughly clean the following ice machine
areas:
• Evaporator plastic parts – including top, bottom
and sides
• Bin bottom, sides and top
Rinse all areas thoroughly with clean water.
Step 10 Mix a solution of sanitizer and warm water.
Solution Type Water Mixed With
Sanitizer 6 gal. (23 l) 4 oz (120 ml) sanitizer
Step 11 Use 1/2 of the sanitizer/water solution to sanitize all
removed components. Use a cloth or sponge to liberally apply
the solution to all surfaces of the removed parts or soak the
removed parts in the sanitizer/water solution. Do not rinse parts
after sanitizing.
