Maintenance Section 4
Air-Cooled Condenser Cleaning
n
Warning
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and the
remote condenser at the electric service switch before
cleaning the condenser.
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively
high operating temperatures and reduced ice production.
Clean the condenser at least every six months.
,
Caution
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning
them.
1. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush or
a vacuum with a brush attachment. Shine a flashlight
through the condenser to check for dirt between the
fins. If dirt remains, a method suitable to remove the
contamination must be used to ensure air flow.
2. Modular Units Only: Clean the washable filter with a
mild soap and water solution.
Removal from Service/Winterization
1. De-scale and sanitize the ice machine.
2. Press the power button and turn off the ice machine.
3. Turn off the water supply, disconnect and drain the
incoming ice-making water line at the rear of the ice
machine and drain the water trough.
4. Energize the ice machine, wait one minute for the water
inlet valve to open and blow compressed air in both the
incoming water and the drain openings in the rear of the
ice machine to remove all water.
5. Press the power button and turn off the ice machine.
Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker or
the electric service switch.
6. Fill spray bottle with sanitizer/water solution and spray
all interior food zone surfaces. Do not rinse and allow to
air dry.
7. Replace all panels.
WATERCOOLED ICE MACHINES
1. Perform steps 1-6.
2. Disconnect the incoming water and drain line from the
water-cooled condenser.
3. Energize the ice machine in the freeze cycle. The
increasing refrigerant pressure will open the water
regulating valve.
4. Blow compressed air through the condenser until no
water remains.
5. Replace all panels.
