Maintenance
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.
We recommend that you perform the following
maintenance procedures every six months to ensure
reliable, trouble-free operation and maximum ice
production.
Ice Machine Inspection
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make
sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating
against other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) on the sides or back of
the ice machine. There must be adequate airflow
through and around the ice machine to maximize ice
production and ensure long component life.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They
will scratch the panels.
!
Warning
If you do not understand the procedures or the
safety precautions that must be followed, call your
local Manitowoc service representative to perform
the maintenance procedures for you.
!
Warning
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and
the remote condensing unit at the electric service
switch before cleaning the condenser.
