SERVICE BULLETIN
Subject: COVID-19 Guidelines for Increased Sanitization of all Ice Machines
Scotsman strongly encourages increasing the frequency of
sanitizing ice machines in order to minimize the posibility of
transmission of COVID-19/The Coronavirus.
Ice Machine Sanitizer is used to disinfect your ice machine. Although it is recommend-
ed that you sanitize your machine a minimum of every six months, more frequent sanitation is
recommended to reduce the possibility of transmission of bacteria and virus related illness.
Please refer to the following pages for step-by-step instructions for sanitizing
a Scotsman Legacy Cuber (DCE33), Brilliance Cuber (SCC30 or SCC50), or Brilliance Nug-
get (SCN60) Ice Machine. For complete, model specic instructions on sanitizing, refer to the
user manual.
A sanitizing solution can be made using 1 ounce of household bleach and two gallons
of hot water. Note: If the interior of the ice storage bin has not been recently sanitized, it is
highly recommended to remove all of the ice and sanitize the inside of the bin.
If an ice machine is being serviced, any areas, inside or outside the machine, that have
been serviced or the tech has made physical contact with, including the food zone, controller,
panels, or ice bin must be sanitized prior to leaving the location.
Frequent sanitation of food equipment will help reduce the possibility of transmission.
