cleaning/descaling
Ice makers must be thoroughly cleaned a minimum of 2-4 times each year, more frequently if circumstances require it.
All cleansers and sanitizing agents must comply with 40CFR 180.9403 as Food Contact Sanitizers.
The end user is responsible for maintaining this ice maker in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Failure to do so
may void warranties and cause an unsafe condition. Basic sanitization and maintenance will both increase reliability and
performance, as well as reduce the consumption of electricity and water.
Maintaining the ice maker according to these instructions will minimize unwanted repairs and extend the unit’s service life.
Maintenance activities must be performed either by the consumer or by an authorized service technician at required intervals.
If you are unfamiliar with sanitization procedures, contact your dealer or XO Customer Service at 973-403-8900 for service.
GENERAL:
Thoroughly clean the ice maker every three to six months for efficient operation.
If the ice maker needs to be cleaned and sanitized more frequently, consult a certified service company for water quality testing
and take appropriate action.
Based on the condition of the ice maker it may be necessary to disassemble parts of the unit for cleaning and disinfection.
Caution: Use only the certified ice-maker detergent and disinfectant. (The detergent can be purchased at your dealer).
Please read all labels printed on the container before use. Do not mix the detergent and the disinfectant.
Warning: Wear rubber gloves and goggles (or face cover) when using the detergent or the disinfectant.
PREPARATION:
Ice maker detergent is used to remove mineral deposits such as lime marks. It cannot be used to remove mold or adhesive mucus.
