Sanitizing the Water Lines, Fittings and Filters

● Turn off or disconnect the main water supply valve.

● Remove the right side louvered door.

● Drain water at the drain valve, and at the supply line to the Scotsman ice maker. Close

both drain valves.

● Remove the primary filter cartridge holder and remove the filter cartridges. Fill the

cartridge holder with sanitizing solution and re-install.

● Turn on the main water supply line.

● Vend one gallon of water.

● Open the drain line at the Scotsman supply line and drain about ½ gallon of water. Close

the valve.

● All lines should now be full of the sanitizing solution.

● Let sit for a minimum of one (1) minute.

● Vend five (5) gallons of fresh water to flush the water system. The sanitizing solution that

is in the ice machine supply lines will be used in sanitizing that system.
