Scotsman Ice Machine UF0915, 1415, 2020 and UN0815, 1215, 1520: Semi-Annual Maintenance and Cleaning

Preventive Maintenance (PM) is the key to maximum running efficiency, less down time, and longer life out of an ice machine's ice bin. Use this checklist for the primary items that need to be checked during the semi-annual preventive maintenance.

    Frequency: Cleaning is recommended about twice a year. The ice machine will not maintain a sanitary condition without human intervention.

    Cleaning this machine involves adding a solution of scale remover and water to the ice machine and continuing to add it as it makes ice. The scale remover must be diluted to the correct ratio. This is followed by sanitizing. The ice machine must be connected to power, water and drain during this process. Recommended tools: Rubber gloves, small scrub brush & scale remover.

    Note: If the unit must be pulled out to remove the panel and access the water reservoir, be sure that the water supply, drain and power remain connected

    Note: Adjacent wires are low voltage and are not hazardous.

    Note: Take care not to spill any scale remover on any nearby surface. Immediately wipe any spill with baking soda and water.

    The auger motor will be operating for 20 minutes, after that the compressor will start and in about 5-8 minutes the machine will start to make ice. The Time to Clean light will now glow steady until the clean cycle is complete.

    Sanitize Water System after scale removal to complete the Water System Cleaning process.
