DANGER:
• Disconnect or turn off all ice machine and crusher fuses or breakers before cleaning either
machine.
• Do not use ammonia solutions or strong detergents in cleaning the crusher.
• Never use appliance polishes, finish preservatives or cleaners in areas that could contact ice.
Warning:
• Always clean the ice maker first, following the ice maker cleaning instructions.
• Remove all ice from the bin before starting the cleaning procedure.
• Clean and sanitize storage bin last.
1. Remove ice maker panels, ice chute, deflectors, drain pan, crusher front panel and belt guard.
2. Wash interior with a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda per quart of clean warm water,
140°F (60°C) max. The crusher ice hopper can be accessed from the front and left side of the
ice maker. Use a long handled brush to clean inside the hopper, as crusher teeth are sharp
and can cause injury.
3. The bottom area of the crusher ice hopper can be accessed from inside the ice bin. Use a
long handled brush.
4. Wipe down internal cabinet walls with a cloth soaked in cleaning solution.
5. Rinse with clean tap water.
6. Sanitize all ice contact surfaces with a solution of 1/2 teaspoon 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite
(chlorine bleach) per quart of clean tap water (minimum 100 PPM free chlorine). A spray
bottle will facilitate this process.
7. Pour the remaining solution into the crusher chute, slowly, while rotating the cutter wheel by
hand turning the pulley.
8. After adjusting and lubricating crusher (See following section), replace all enclosure panels
and connect the electrical supply.
9. Exterior surfaces may be cleaned by standard methods suitable to the stainless steel finish.
ADJUSTMENT AND LUBRICATION
1. Oil the crusher motor (if ports are provided) and grease the shaft bearings.
(Do not over-lubricate)
2. Check the belt and pulleys for excessive wear. Adjust the belt tension to deflect 5/32 inch with
two pounds applied to the center of the span.
3. Tighten any loose set screws, machine screws, nuts and electrical connections.
