Ice Dispenser Cleaning Procedure
It is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure a minimum of twice per year
Note: The frequency of the need for cleaning is determined by the supply water characteristics.
The dispenser should be cleaned no less than once every 6 months and it may require more
frequent cleaning. The requirement for sanitizing frequency may be described in local health
code regulations. Remove all ice from the dispenser before starting the cleaning process.
Always clean the ice machine first, following the ice machine cleaning instructions.
1. Empty the dispenser and disconnect the power to the dispenser and ice machine.
2. Remove the ice machine skin panels, drain pan, chute and deflectors, if present.
3. Wash the interior of the bin with a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda per quart of clean
water (140°F / 60°C max.). The bin is accessed through the front of the ice machine. Use a
long handled brush to reach the bottom of the bin and to clean the stirring bar.
4. Wash the interior of the sink with the baking soda solution and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
5. Remove the front cover of the dispenser to access the spout and drain pan. The spout
should be removed for thorough cleaning in the baking soda solution. Rinse with clean
water. Wash the interior of the drain pan with the baking soda solution and wipe dry with a
clean cloth
6. Sanitize all ice contact surfaces, including the ice spout and spout closure with a solution of 1
teaspoon of 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) per quart of clean water
(minimum 100 PPM free chlorine). A spray bottle will facilitate this process. Pour the unused
sanitizing solution down the dispenser bin drain.
7. Replace the ice spout, dispenser front panel and ice machine skin panels before reconnecting
the power supply. Exterior surfaces may be cleaned by using standard methods suitable for
stainless steel.
