Section 4
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation. Use cleaners designed for use with stainless
steel products.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They
will scratch the panels.
Cleaning the Condenser
GENERAL
!
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electric service switches before cleaning the
condenser.
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces
ice production and shortens component life. Clean the
condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps
below.
1. Remove Front Grill by removing two screws. Clean
Grill openings before replacing.
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush
or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from
top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to
bend the condenser fins.
3. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains:
A. Compressed air can be blown through the
condenser fins. This procedure will raise
considerable dust and is best performed
outside. Be careful not to bend the fan blades.
B. If dirt or grease remains between the fins or the
condenser fins are bent or flattened, consult
your service representative.

Warning
Removal from Service/Long Term Storage/
Winterization
GENERAL
Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is
to be removed from service for an extended period of
time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 32°F (0°C)
or below.
! Caution
If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine in
freezing temperatures, severe damage to some
components could result. Damage of this nature is
not covered by the warranty.
Follow the procedure below.
SELF-CONTAINED AIR-COOLED ICE MACHINES
1. Perform a cleaning and sanitizing procedure to
prevent mildew growth.
2. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker
or the electric service switch.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Remove the water from the water trough.
5. Disconnect and drain the incoming ice-making water
line at the rear of the ice machine.
6. Disconnect vinyl hose from water pump and allow to
drain.
7. Make sure water is not trapped in any of the water or
drain lines. Compressed air can be used to blow out
the lines.
8. Use a spray bottle and a solution of sanitizer/water
(0.50 oz/ 1 gal) and spray all interior surfaces. Do
not rinse, allow to air dry.
9. Block the door partially open to provide air exchange
and prevent mildew growth.
