Cleaning and Sanitizing
GENERAL
You are responsible for maintaining the ice machine
in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty.
Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months
for efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more
frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified
service company to test the water quality and recommend
appropriate water treatment. An extremely dirty ice
machine must be taken apart for cleaning and sanitizing.
Manitowoc Ice Machine Cleaner and Sanitizer are the only
products approved for use in this ice machine.
,
Caution
Use only approved Ice Machine Cleaner and Sanitizer
for this application (Manitowoc Cleaner part number
9405463 and Manitowoc Sanitizer part number
9405653). It is a violation of Federal law to use these
solutions in a manner inconsistent with their labeling.
Read and understand all labels printed on bottles before
use.
,
Caution
Do not mix Cleaner and Sanitizer solutions together. It
is a violation of Federal law to use these solutions in a
manner inconsistent with their labeling.

Warning
Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (and/or face
shield) when handling Ice Machine Cleaner or Sanitizer.
CLEANING/SANITIZING PROCEDURE
This procedure must be performed a minimum of once
every six months.
• The ice machine and bin must be disassembled, cleaned
and sanitized.
• All ice produced during the cleaning and sanitizing
procedures must be discarded.
• Removes mineral deposits from areas or surfaces that
are in direct contact with water.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING PROCEDURE
• This procedure cleans all components in the water flow
path, and is used to clean the ice machine between
the bi-yearly cleaning/sanitizing procedure without
removing the ice from the bin/dispenser.
• This technology will also allow initiation and completion
of a clean or sanitize cycle, after which the ice machine
automatically starts ice making again.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary
to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth rinsed in water to remove
dust and dirt from the outside of the ice machine. If a greasy
residue persists, use a damp cloth rinsed in a mild dish soap
and water solution. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
The exterior panels have a clear coating that is stain
resistant and easy to clean. Products containing abrasives
will damage the coating and scratch the panels.
• Never use steel wool or abrasive pads for cleaning.
• Never use chlorinated, citrus-based or abrasive cleaners
on exterior panels and plastic trim pieces.
