CLEANING
AIR COOLED CONDENSER
1. Disconnect electrical power.
2. Remove front panel.
3. Clean or replace the air filter.
4. Check to see that the inside of the condenser is
clean; light should be visible through the fins. If not
clean the internal parts by vacuum, pressure
washer and/or coil cleaner.
ICE STORAGE BIN
The interior liner of the bin is in contact with a food
product: ice. The storage bin must be cleaned
regularly to maintain a sanitary environment.
Once a week cleaning with soap and water, a hot
water rinse and an air dry is a basic procedure.
Scale that may form on the plastic liner can be
removed by scrubbing the surface with a mixture
of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner and hot water.
Remove any scale prior to sanitizing.
Note: Some ice storage bins have stainless steel
liners. They may become stained from chlorine
gases released from the water. These stains must
be removed by regular cleaning to prevent pitting
of the metal liner. To prevent the staining, an
activated charcoal water filter should be added to
the ice machine’s incoming water supply line;
activated charcoal removes the chlorine. This may
require more frequent sanitation.
To Remove Scale:
1. Mix a cleaning solution of 4 ounces of Scotsman
Ice Machine Cleaner to 4 pints of hot (95
0
F. to
110
0
F.) water.
2. Using rubber gloves, dip a nylon scouring pad
into the cleaning solution, and scrub the scale off
of the liner.
3. After all the scale has been removed, rinse all of
the surfaces inside the bin with clean, potable
water.
To sanitize the bin and ice machine interior.
Use an approved sanitizer and follow the
directions and warnings of that sanitizer or use the
following instructions for use of household bleach,
if it meets local codes:
1. Mix a sanitizing solution of 1 ounce of
household bleach to 2 gallons of water.
2. Using clean rubber gloves and a clean cloth,
wipe all interior surfaces of the ice machine and
ice storage bin with the santizing solution.
Immerse any small parts in the sanitizing solution
and wash the parts, flushing the solution
thoroughly in, over and through all parts and
surfaces of the parts being cleaned.
3. Allow to air dry.
