Detailed Descaling and Sanitizing 
Procedure
Ice machine cleaner/descaler is used to 
remove lime scale and mineral deposits. Ice 
machine sanitizer disinfects and removes 
algae and slime.
NOTE: Although not required and 
dependent on your installation, removing 
the ice machine top cover may allow easier 
access.
Step 1  Open the front door to access the 
evaporator compartment. Ice must not be 
on the evaporator during the descaling/
sanitize cycle. Follow one of the methods 
below:
•  Press the power switch at the end of 
a harvest cycle after ice falls from the 
evaporator(s).
•  Press the power switch and allow the ice 
to melt.
Notice
Never use anything to force ice from the 
evaporator. Damage may result.
Step 2  Remove all ice from the bin/
dispenser.
Step 3  Press the Clean button and select 
“Turn off when complete”. Water will flow 
through the water dump valve and down 
the drain. Wait approximately 1 minute 
until the water trough refills and the display 
indicates Add Chemical. Add the proper 
amount of ice machine cleaner/descaler to 
the water trough by pouring between the 
water curtain and evaporator, then confirm 
the chemical was added.

Caution
Do not mix Cleaner/Descaler and Sanitizer 
solutions together. It is a violation of

manner inconsistent with their labeling.
