Cleaning the Condenser

GENERAL

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.

• Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check for

dirt between the fins.

• Blow compressed air or rinse with water from the

inside out (opposite direction of airflow).

• If dirt still remains call a service agent to clean the

condenser.

Removal from Service/Winterization

1. Clean and sanitize the ice machine.

2. Press the On/Off button to turn off the ice machine.

3. Turn off the water supply, disconnect and drain the

incoming ice-making water line at the rear of the ice

machine and drain the water trough.

4. Energize the ice machine, wait one minute for the

water inlet valve to open and blow compressed air in

both the incoming water and the drain openings in

the rear of the ice machine to remove all water.

5. Press the On/Off button and disconnect the electric

power at the circuit breaker or the electric service

switch.

6. Fill spray bottle with sanitizer and spray all interior

food zone surfaces. Do not rinse and allow to air dry.

7. Replace all panels.

Warning

Disconnect electric power to the ice machine head

section and the remote condensing unit at the

electric service switches before cleaning the

condenser.

Warning

The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when

cleaning them.
