It is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure a minimum of twice per year.
1. While the ice machine is operating, wait until the ice falls out of the evaporator and the water
plate fully returns to the up position. Turn the machine off and empty the storage bin. Move
the Ice-Clean Switch to the “Clean” position and turn the ice machine on.
2. While the water plate is filling pour 3 fl. oz. (90 ML) of Kold-Draft nickel-safe ice machine
cleaner (Kold-Draft part no. 500023) into the water sump though the opening along its front
edge.
3. The cleaning solution will circulate for 20 minutes and then drain. The sump will fill again, with
the water circulating and then drain. This will repeat 3 more times, to be sure all the cleaning
solution is rinsed out of the machine and then stop. When this process is complete, turn the
machine off.
4. Mix a sanitizing solution containing 0.5 ounce (15 ML) 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite (household
bleach or equivalent) and 1 gallon (3.8 liter) warm clean water.
5. Pour the sanitizing solution into the sump. Leaving the Ice-Clean Switch in the “Clean” position
turn the machine on.
6. The sanitizing solution will circulate for 20 minutes and then drain. The sump will fill again,
with the water circulating and then drain. This will repeat 2 more times, to be sure all the
sanitizing solution is rinsed out of the machine and then stop.
7. While these solutions are circulating in the ice machine, clean and sanitize all accessible
surfaces of the ice machine and bin. Mix a cleaning solution as follows: 8 tablespoons (1/2
cup) (96g) baking soda and 1 gallon (3.8 liter) of warm clean water. Mix a sanitizing solution as
follows: 2 teaspoon (10 ML) 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite and 1 gallon (3.8 liter) of warm clean
water. Use clean towels to apply these solutions and rinse well when done.
8. After all cleaning, sanitizing and rinsing has been completed turn the machine off. Move the
Ice-Clean Switch to the “Ice” position. Check for proper operation of the machine and dispose
of the first batch of ice.

At power up in the wash mode the electronic control will monitor the following criteria:
If the water plate is not in the full up (closed) position at start up, the controller will close the plate.
