Cleaning and preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance

Periodic cleaning of Follett’s Ice Manager diverter valve system is required to ensure peak performance and delivery

of clean, sanitary ice. Cleaning of the Ice Manager system, in most cases, should be performed by your facility’s

maintenance staff or a Follett authorized service agent. Regardless of who performs the cleaning, it is the operator’s

responsibility to see that this cleaning is performed every 6 months or more often if conditions dictate. Service

problems resulting from lack of preventive maintenance will not be covered under the Follett warranty.

Weekly exterior care

The exterior of the diverter valve and control panel may be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent. The ice

machine exterior may be cleaned with a stainless cleaner such as 3M Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish or equivalent.

Note: Do not use bleach to sanitize or clean the ice machine or diverter valve.

WARNING

• Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (and/or face shield) when handling ice machine cleaner or sanitizer

CAUTION

• Use only Follett approved SafeCLEAN™ cleaner (item# 00132001) and NU-CALGON IMS-II SANITIZER.

• Do not mix cleaner and sanitizer solutions together

• DO NOT USE BLEACH

• It is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling
