Sanitation and Cleaning
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. Ice machines also require occasional
cleaning of their water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral
build up that forms during the ice making process.
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine
is cleaned and sanitized.
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year.
In Place Cleaning of the Water System:
1. Remove all ice from the bin.
2. Remove the front panel.
3. Push and release the Harvest button (this releases
any ice on the evaporators and warms them up).
4. Wait for the machine to finish the Harvest cycle (the
machine will stop).
5. Remove the the freezing compartment cover and
both inner splash panels.
6. Remove the sump cover by unplugging the wire
harness from the water level sensor, then removing the
screw holding the cover to the reservoir.
Unwind the wires from the sump cover and lift the sump
cover and water level sensor up & out of the machine.
7. Pull the float off the float stem. Squeeze the water
sensor mounting tabs together and remove the sensor
from the sump cover.
8. Remove the cube deflector from the machine by
lifting it up at the front, rotating it 90
o
clockwise, then
pulling it out of the machine.
9. Place the cube deflector, sump cover, float, float
stem and both inner splash panels into a separate,
clean container.
10. Mix a solution of 8 ounces of Scotsman ice machine
cleaner and 1 gallon of warm (95-115
o
F.) water. Use
the solution to scrub the cube deflector, float, float stem,
sump cover & splash panels in the separate container.
11. Reassemble the water level sensor to the sump
cover. Insert float stem through sensor and push float
onto stem. Reconnect sensor wires and place assembly
onto reservoir.
12. Push and release the Clean button. The Clean
indicator light will blink and the pump will restart.
13. After water stops flowing in, lift sump cover and pour
12 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner into the
reservoir water. Return the sump cover and freezing
compartment cover to their normal positions.
14. After the ice machine cleaner has circulated for 10
minutes, push and release the Clean button. This starts
the rinsing process. The Clean indicator light will be
ON. Note: The rinse process flushes any residual
cleaner out of the ice machine’s water system.
15. Continue the rinsing process for 20 minutes, then
push the off button to switch the machine off.
16. Go to the next step to sanitize the machine or go to
step 23 to finish the cleaning process.
17. Mix 2 gallons of Sanitizer solution. Follow local
codes for Sanitizer.
Note: A possible sanitizing solution may be made by
mixing 1 ounce of liquid household bleach with 2
gallons of warm (95-115
o
F.) potable water.
18. Push and release the Clean button again.
19. After water stops flowing in, pour 24 ounces of
Sanitizer solution into the reservoir water.
20. After the solution has circulated for 10 minutes push
and release the Clean button. This starts the rinse
process. Sanitize the ice storage bin while waiting.
21. Continue the rinsing process for 20 minutes, then
push the off button to switch the machine off.
22. Remove the freezing compartment cover and spray
or wash all interior surfaces of the freezing
compartment including the inside of the cover with
sanitizer solution.
23. Repeat step 6 and thoroughly immerse the splash
panels, float, float stem, sump cover and cube deflector
in the sanitizing solution.
24. Return the cube deflector, inner splash panels,
water sensor, float and sump cover to their original
positions. Secure sump cover with the original screw.
25. Reconnect wire harness to water level sensor.
26. Return the freezing compartment cover to its
original position. Push and release the Freeze button.
27. Return the front panel to its normal position and
secure it to the machine with the original screws.
