Maintenance Procedure; Cleaning And Sanitizing - Omcan IC-CN-0040 Manual De Instrucciones

Maintenance
2. If any electrical parts are loose or if there is a danger of short circuiting, disconnect the power immediately.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

1. Cleaning should be performed at least every 6 months. Local water conditions may require that cleaning be
performed more often.
2. Check the ice bridge thickness. The thickness should be between 1/16-1/8''.
3. Check the water level in trough. Check for proper water level and adjustment and troubleshoot if there is an
incorrect level.
4. Clean the condenser to ensure proper air flow.
5. Check for leaks of any kind: Water, Refrigerant, Oil, Etc.
6. Check the bin switch for proper adjustment.
7. Check all electrical connections.
8. Check the oil of the fan motor if applicable.

CLEANING AND SANITIZING

Problems may occur if the following procedures are not performed every 6 months:
1. Remove the front panel.
2. Make sure that there is no ice on the evaporator. If there is, wait until operation is finished and turn the
machine "OFF".
3. Remove or melt all ice in the storage bin.
4. Add the recommended amount of approved cleaner to the water trough according to label instructions on
the container.
5. Initiate the clean cycle at the controller board switch by turning the machine on and switching to the
"CLEAN" setting. Note: This must be done within 3 minutes of turning the machine "ON". Allow the cleaner
to circulate for approximately 15 minutes to remove mineral deposits.
6. After 15 minutes (or 30 minutes automatically), stop the process and drain. Refill with clean water and run
for another 5 minutes, then drain again. Fill the trough with fresh incoming water.
7. Stop the wash cycle by positioning the switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the splash curtain (if
applicable) and inspect the evaporator and water spillway (the plastic top of the evaporator) to assure all
mineral residue has been removed.
8. If necessary, wipe the evaporator, spillway and other surfaces with a clean soft cloth to remove any
remaining residue. If necessary, remove the water distribution tube, disassemble and clean with a
bottlebrush. Reassemble all components and repeat steps 4 through 7 as required to remove residue.
9. Turn the unit OFF and clean the water trough thoroughly to remove all scale or slime buildup. If necessary,
remove the water trough to reach all splash areas.
10. Prepare 1½ to 2 gallons (5.7 to 7.5 liters) of approved (EPA/FDA) sodium hypochloride food equipment
sanitizer to form a solution with 100 to 200 ppm free chlorine yield.
11. Add enough sanitizing solution to fill the water trough to overflowing and activate the switch to the "CLEAN"
position and allow circulation to occur for 10 minutes and inspect all disassembled fittings for leaks. During
this time, wipe down all other ice machine splash areas and the interior surfaces of the bin, deflector
and door with the remaining sanitizing solution. Inspect to make sure that all functional parts, fasteners,
thermostat bulbs (if used), etc. are in place.
12. After 3 minutes, stop the process and drain. Refill with clean water run another 5 minutes and drain again.
