CLEANING PROCEDURE
Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale or
other mineral deposits. It is not used to remove algae or
slime. Refer to the “Sanitizing Procedure” for removal of
algae and slime. To initiate a cleaning cycle using
Manitowoc’s Patented Cleaning Technology use the
following procedure.
Step 1 Set the toggle switch to the OFF position after
ice falls from the evaporator at the end of a Harvest
cycle. Or, set the switch to the OFF position and allow
the ice to melt off the evaporator.
Step 2 To start cleaning, place the toggle switch in the
CLEAN position. The water will flow through the water
dump valve and down the drain. The Clean light will turn
on to indicate the ice machine is in the Cleaning mode.
Step 3 Wait about one minute or until water starts to
flow over the evaporator.
Step 4 Add the proper amount of Manitowoc Ice
Machine Cleaner to the water trough.
Step 5 The ice machine will automatically time out a
ten minute cleaning cycle, followed by six rinse cycles,
and stop. The Clean light will turn off to indicate the
clean mode is completed. This entire cycle lasts
approximately 25 minutes.
NOTE: Periodic cleaning must be performed on adjacent
surface areas not contacted by the water distribution
system.
Step 6 When the cleaning process stops, move the
toggle switch to OFF position. Refer to “Sanitizing
Procedure” on the next page.
Step 7
A. The ice machine may be set to start and finish a
cleaning procedure then automatically start ice
making again.
B. You must wait about one minute into the
cleaning cycle (until water starts to flow over the
evaporator) then move the switch from CLEAN
to ICE position.
C. When the cleaning cycle is completed, the
CLEAN light will turn off and an ice making
sequence will start automatically.
!
Caution
Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator.
Damage may result.
