CLEANING

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business.  In
order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance.

Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
CLEANING: ICEMAKER

1. Remove screws and the front panel.

2. Switch the compressor switch to OFF. Switch

the WASH/OFF/ICE switch to OFF. 

3. Remove the control box cover, and rotate the
shaft of the timer and switch assembly
CLOCKWISE advancing to the freezing cycle.
(Beginning of the higher part of the cam against
the microswitch).

4. Open the ice storage bin door and empty the bin
of ice.

5. Remove the hose clamp, rubber cap and drain
all the water from the sump assembly into a
container. 

Replace the rubber cap and hose clamp.

6. Mix 24 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine
Cleaner with 2 gallons of warm (95

0

F. - 115

0

F.)

water.

7. Pour the cleaning solution into the reservoir until
full.

8. Move the WASH/OFF/ICE switch to the WASH
position. 

9. Let the unit operate for 30 minutes.

During the wash cycle, if the machine runs out of
solution, mix 2 more gallons of solution per step 6,
refill the sump and continue the wash cycle for the
remainder of the 30 minutes.

10. Move the WASH/OFF/ICE switch to the OFF
position.

11. Remove the reservoir drain cap and drain the
cleaning solution from the sump. Replace the drain
cap.

12. Rotate the shaft of the timer and switch
assembly CLOCKWISE to the harvest position
(low part of the cam against microswitch). Move
the WASH/OFF/ICE switch to the ICE position to
start the Harvest cycle. 

If, after completing this procedure, one or more
evaporator plates does not have a full flow of water
for each vertical column of cubes, shut down the
operation and remove and clean all water
distributor manifolds. Reinstall the water distributor
manifolds.

Note: Thie ice making portion of the water system
should be sanitized after cleaning by repeating
steps 2-12, except substitute an approved
sanitizing solution for the cleaning solution.

13. Move the compressor ON-OFF switch to the
ON position to start the icemaking process.

////////////////////////////////CAUTION//////////////////////////////////

DO NOT use ice produced from the cleaning
solution. Be sure none remains in the bin. 

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

14. Check the next ice cube harvest to be sure that
the ice cubes are clear and the acid taste is gone.

15. Add hot water to the bin to melt the ice.

16.  Replace all panels.

Scotsman Ice Machine
Cleaner contains acids.
These compounds may
cause burns.  

If swallowed, DO NOT
induce vomiting.  Give
large amounts of water
or milk.  Call Physician
immediately.  In case of
external contact, flush
with water.
