SANITIZING 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. That chemical dissolves mineral
build up that forms during the ice making process.
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health cods require, and every time the ice machine is
cleaned and sanitized.
Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at
a minimum of twice per year.
ICE MAKING SYSTEM: In place cleaning
1. Check and clean any water treatment devices, if
any are installed.
2. Remove screws, and the front and top panels.
3. Move the ON-OFF switch to OFF.
4. Remove all the ice from the storage bin.
5. Remove the cover to the water reservoir and
block the float up.
6. Drain the water reservoir and freezer assembly
using the drain tube attached to the freezer water
inlet. Return the drain tube to its normal upright
position and replace the end cap.
7. Prepare the cleaning solution: Mix eight ounces
of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner with three quarts
of hot water. The water should be between 90-115
degrees F.
8. Slowly pour the cleaning solution into the water
reservoir until it is full. Wait 15 minutes, then
switch the master switch to ON.
9. As the Ice Machine begins to use water from
the reservoir, continue to add more cleaning
solution to maintain a full reservoir.
10. After all of the cleaning solution has been
added to the reservoir, and the reservoir is nearly
empty, switch the master switch to OFF.
11. After draining the reservoir, as in step 6, wash
and rinse the water reservoir.
12. Go thru steps 13-18 to sanitize the ice machine
water system.
13. Mix two gallons of sanitizer solution. Use an
approved sanitizer.
A possible sanitizer solution may be obtained by
mixing two gallons of warm (90-115
o
F.) potable
water with 1 ounce of household bleach.
14. Slowly pour the sanitizer solution into the water
reservoir until the float rises, then switch the
master switch ON.
15. As the ice machine uses water from the
reservoir, continue to pour the sanitizer solution
into the reservoir.
16. After
1
2
of the sanitizer solution has been added
to the reservoir, and the reservoir is nearly empty,
switch the master switch OFF.
17. Drain the reservoir and thoroughly wash the
interior of the reservoir and cover with sanitizer
solution.
18. Remove the block from the float in the water
reservoir.
19. Switch the master switch to ON
20. Continue ice making for at least 15 minutes, to
flush out any cleaning solution. Switch the master
switch OFF.
DO NOT USE any ice produced from the
cleaning solution.
Be sure no ice remains in the bin.
21. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
22. Add warm water to the ice storage bin and
thoroughly wash and rinse all surfaces within the
bin.
23. Sanitize the bin interior by thoroughly washing
the interior of the bin and bin door with the balance
of the sanitizer solution.
24. Switch the master switch ON.
25. Replace the panels.
