Interior Descaling and Sanitizing
GENERAL
Descale and sanitize the ice machine every six months for
efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more frequent
descaling and sanitizing, consult a qualified service company
to test the water quality and recommend appropriate water
treatment.
Sanitizing for Exterior, Remedial, and Detailed procedures
can be performed independently and more frequently than
descaling when needed.
The ice machine must be taken apart for descaling and
sanitizing.
Using non-Manitowoc descalers, sanitizers, cleaners or
solutions may result in bodily harm and/or cause damage to
the ice machine that is not covered under the warranty.
If you do not understand the procedures or the safety
precautions that must be followed, call your local
Manitowoc service representative to perform the
maintenance procedures for you
Use only Manitowoc approved Ice Machine Descaler and
Sanitizer. Using a non Manitowoc descaler or sanitizer
may result in bodily harm and/or cause damage to the
ice machine that is not covered under the warranty. Do
not use descaler or sanitizer quantities that exceed the
amounts listed in this manual. Do not use these solutions
in a manner inconsistent with their labeling. Read and
understand all labels printed on bottles before use.

Descaling and Sanitizing Procedures
Ice machine descaler is used to remove lime scale and
mineral deposits. Ice machine sanitizer disinfects and
removes algae and slime.
Perform an In Place Descaling/Sanitizing procedure monthly
and a Descaling/Sanitizing procedure every 12 months for
efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more frequent
descaling and sanitizing, consult a qualified service company
to test the water quality and recommend appropriate water
treatment. An extremely dirty ice machine must be taken
apart for descaling and sanitizing.
Damage to the ice machine evaporator caused by
incorrect chemical usage is not covered by the warranty.
Use Manitowoc Ice Machine Descaler (part number
000000084) and Sanitizer (part number 9405653) only.
