Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral content than the water it was made from. This is due to the method of
making ice. Purer water will freeze first in the ice making molds. The reason for this is that anything dissolved in water lowers
the water’s freezing temperature. This concentrates most of the impurities in the ice machine water reservoir where they may
form hard deposits known as scale. The machine dilutes the concentration of minerals by over-filling the reservoir during the
harvest cycle (with the excess water flowing down the drain). s. Between 2 and 4 pints of water flow into the unit each cycle.
Between 1 and 3.5 pints of that rinses the reservoir and goes down the drain.
Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick to the parts in the machine, and will cause malformed ice cubes.
Eventually, built up mineral scale can shorten machine life.
To keep the machine operating properly, these impurities or minerals will have to be regularly dissolved by an acid
cleaning, using Ice Machine Scale Remover. Directions for this may be found in the section under care and cleaning.
MAINTENANCE
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The outside cabinet & door.
2. The ice storage bin.
3. The condenser.
4. The ice making system.
5. The ice scoop.
How to clean the cabinet
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and handle as they occur. If anything spilled on the door or gasket dries onto
the surface, wash with soap and warm water to remove.
How to clean the ice storage bin
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the bin after the ice making system
has been cleaned, and the storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 ounce of household bleach and two gallons of hot (95° F. – 115° F.) water. Use a clean
cloth and wipe the interior of the ice storage bin with the sanitizing solution, pour some of the solution down the drain.
Allow to air dry.
