6. Pour 2 quarts (2 L) of hot water into the
water pan and turn the cycle control to
“CLEAN.” This step warms up the system
and allows the cleaning solution to be
more effective. Allow to circulate 5
minutes. Turn switch to “OFF’ and drain.
Prepare the cleaning solution by
thoroughly mixing 6 oz. (170 gm) of
powdered citric acid or phosphoric acid
into 2 quarts (2 L) of hot water. Commer­
cial ice machine cleaners are also
available in liquid form and should be
mixed according to instructions on the
label.
7. Pour cleaning solution into water pan and
turn switch to “CLEAN.” If solution foams
while pouring, stop until foaming sub­
sides, then add balance of solution. Allow
solution to circulate until scale has
dissolved. The circulating solution may
not contact scale on the side flanges of
the freezing plate. To remove this scale,
wear rubber gloves and use a stainless
steel sponge or pad dipped in cleaning
solution to scrub the side flanges until
scale is removed. Generally scale will be
dissolved in 15 to 30 minutes. Severe
scale formation may require repeating
the cleaning process with a fresh quantity
of solution if the scale has not dissolved
after 30 minutes.
8. Turn switch to “OFF'and drain.
9. Follow cleaning with two fresh water
rinses, circulating each rinse for 5
minutes, and drain.
10. This completes the “in place” cleaning
and sanitizing of the water system and
freezing plate. Other interior components
must also be cleaned and sanitized.
