Step 5 Mix a solution of cleaner/descaler and warm
water. Depending on the amount of mineral buildup, a
larger quantity of solution may be required. Use the ratio
in the table below to mix enough solution to thoroughly
descale all parts.

Caution
Do not immerse electrical connectors or motors for
any components in water, cleaner/descaler or sanitizer
solutions.
Use half of the cleaner/descaler and water solution to
descale all components. The solution will foam when it
contacts lime scale and mineral deposits; once the foaming
stops use a soft bristle brush, sponge or cloth (not a wire
brush) to carefully descale the parts. Soak the parts for 5
minutes (15 – 20 minutes for heavily scaled parts). Rinse all
components with clean water.
Step 6 While components are soaking, use half of
the cleaner/descaler and water solution to descale all
foodzone surfaces of the ice machine and bin. Use a nylon
brush or cloth to thoroughly descale the following ice
machine areas:
• Evaporator plastic parts – including top, bottom and
sides
• Bin bottom, sides and top
• Rinse all areas thoroughly with clean water.
