MANITOWOC’S CLEANING TECHNOLOGY
Manitowoc Flake/Chiplet Ice Machines include technology that allows the initiation and completion of a cleaning or
sanitizing cycle at the flip of a switch. This cycle will permit cleaning of all surfaces that come in contact with the water
distribution system. Periodic maintenance must be performed that includes sanitizing the bin and adjacent surface
areas, which are not contacted by the water distribution system.
Depending on local water conditions Manitowoc recommends initiating preventative maintenance cleaning
procedures between the 6 month cleanings.
This preventive maintenance removes mineral build-up from the evaporator, which results in peak efficiency and
lower operating costs.
This technology will also allow initiation and completion of a clean or sanitize cycle, after which the ice machine
automatically starts ice making again.
Refer to the cleaning/sanitizing procedure for complete details.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING PROCEDURE QC700/QF800/QF2300
Use Ice machine cleaner part number 000000084
only.This cleaner is used to remove lime scale or other
mineral deposits. It is not used to remove algae or slime.
Refer to “Cleaning/Sanitizing Procedure” for removal of
algae and slime. To initiate a cleaning cycle using
Manitowoc’s Cleaning Technology use the following
procedure.
Step 1 Remove front and top covers and set the toggle
switch to the OFF position.
Step 2 To start a cleaning cycle, move the toggle switch
to the CLEAN position. Water will flow through the water
dump valve and down the drain. The flush, gear motor,
speed, dump valve and water solenoid lights will
energize to indicate the ice machine is in the clean
mode.
Step 3 Remove the 1 1/2” yellow plug from the top
cover of the water reservoir. Wait about one minute or
until the dump valve light de-energizes, then add the
proper amount of Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner and
re-install plug.
Step 4 .The ice machine will automatically time out four
flush and rinse cycles, and then stop. The flush light
remains energized until the toggle switch is moved to the
OFF position. This entire cycle lasts approximately 11
minutes.
NOTE: Periodic cleaning must be performed on adjacent
surface areas not contacted by the water distribution
system.
Manitowoc recommends disassembling, cleaning and
sanitizing the ice machine and bin/dispenser every six
months.
NOTE: The ice machine may be set to start and finish a
cleaning procedure, and then automatically start ice
making again. Wait about one minute into the cleaning
cycle (until the dump valve light de-energizes), then
move the switch from CLEAN to ICE position.
When the cleaning cycle is complete, the flush light will
de-energize and ice making will start automatically
