6. ICEMAKING WATER SYSTEM
To keep the ice dispenser hygienic, clean and sanitize the icemaking water system at
least once every six months. More frequent cleaning and sanitizing may be required
depending on the water quality.
1) Use a suitable container to dilute 236 ml of the cleaner (“Nickel-Safe Ice Machine
Cleaner” by The Rectorseal Corporation) with 11.4 lit. of water.
2) Open the storage bin door and remove all the ice to avoid contaminating by the
cleaner.
3) Remove the front and top panels (see “III. 1. IN CASE OF DIRTY WATER”).
4) If the ice dispenser is in a defrost cycle, wait until a freeze cycle starts.
5) Close the water supply tap.
6) Push the reset switch to open the water pan.
7) Unplug the ice dispenser or disconnect the power source when the water pan has
fully opened.
NOTICE
1. Use the cleaners and sanitizers recommended by Hoshizaki. Contact
your local Hoshizaki office for further details. (The instructions below
give an example of those recommended cleaners and sanitizers.)
2. Never mix cleaning and sanitizing solutions in an attempt to shorten
cleaning time.
3. Wipe off any splashed or spilt cleaner/sanitizer immediately.
4. Do not use any ammonia type cleaners on any part of the ice dispenser.
5. When the ambient and water temperatures are 10°C or below, the water
pan may remain open. Warm the icemaking compartment up to 20°C
around the thermistor.
6. Be sure to follow the cleaning and sanitizing instructions below.
CAUTION
Always wear rubber gloves, eye protectors, apron, etc. for safe handling of
the cleaner and sanitizer.
