CLEANING/SANITIZING PROCEDURE

A label which details the step by step cleaning/sanitizing

procedure is located on the inside front panel of the ice

machine. These instructions are also provided in the In-

struction Manual shipped with each unit. Follow these in-

structions to conduct a thorough cleaning and sanitizing of

the water system.

Annual cleanings are recommended. More frequent

cleanings may be required in bad water areas.

INLET WATER VALVE

The inlet water valve includes an 80 mesh screen to pro-

tect the water system from debris. Always check and

clear this screen during the cleaning procedure.

CLEANERS:

Hoshizaki recommends "Hoshizaki Scale Away' or "Lime-

A-Way" (by Economics Laboratory, Inc.) however any FDA

approved ice machine cleaner is acceptable. If you carry a

nickel safe cleaner, the acidic solution is weaker than nor-

mal cleaners to protect plated surfaces. You may need to

use a heavier mixture of nickel safe to cut heavier scale

deposits.
