ICE MACHINE CLEANING PROCEDURE
It is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure at a minimum twice per year.
Note: Use a clean plastic bottle fitted with a stopper or cap that has a pouring tube and a
vent to facilitate mixing and pouring of the specified solutions.
1. Mix 3 oz. (500023 ) KD Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner per gallon of warm water.
2. If the ice machine is operating, wait until the ice falls out of the evaporator, then move the
Ice-Clean Switch to the “Clean” position.
3. Empty the storage bin and turn off any other ice machines on the same bin.
4. After the water fill is complete, turn off the ice machine. While pinching the water level
control tube, remove it from the probe cap. Hold the water level control tube high enough
so that the water does not overflow, release the control tube and pour about half the
cleaning solution into the top of the probe tube. Pinch the control tube again and
reassemble the probe tube to the cap. Pour the remaining cleaning solution into the
control stream box.
5. Turn on the ice machine and allow the solution to circulate for 15 minutes then pull down
on the right side of the water plate. This will cause it to open and dump the cleaning
solution and then refill with water. Repeat the dump process three times to be sure all the
cleaning solution is rinsed out of the machine.
6. Mix a sanitizing solution containing 0.5 ounce (15 mL) 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite
(household bleach or equivalent) and 1 quart (3.8 Liter) clean water.
7. Using the same process as in step #4, pour half of the sanitizing solution into water level
probe tube and the other half into the control stream box.
8. Allow the solution to circulate for 15 minutes. Pull down on the right side of the water plate,
to cause it to open and dump the sanitizing solution and then refill with water. Repeat this
process two times to be sure all the cleaning solution is rinsed out of the machine. If
necessary, adjust the water level probes to the proper levels.
9. While the cleaning and sanitizing solutions are circulating, clean and rinse all accessible
parts and surfaces of the ice machine with clean towels and . Mix a cleaning solution
containing 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) (96g) baking soda and 1 Gal. (3.8 Liter) of warm water
and a sanitizing solution containing 1 teaspoon (5 mL) 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite and
two quarts (1.9 Liter) of clean water.
10. After cleaning has been completed, move the Ice-Clean Switch to the “Ice” position. Check
the operation of the machine, particularly the water level and subsequent ice cube
formation. Adjust the water level probes if needed.
