Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the ice machine at least every six months to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for descaling and sanitizing.

• Monitor Water Quality: Use cold, potable water with a temperature between 40°F and 100°F and a pressure between 20 PSI and 80 PSI. Regularly check for changes in water quality to prevent scaling and ensure efficient ice production. 

• Inspect Airflow: Ensure the machine is installed in an area with adequate ventilation, maintaining ambient temperatures between 50°F and 100°F. Keep the air intake and exhaust areas free from obstructions to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating. 

• Check Bearings and Auger: Regularly inspect the auger and bearings for wear or damage. Lubricate as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth operation and extend the lifespan of these components. 

• Clean the Condenser: For air-cooled models, periodically clean the condenser coils to remove dust and debris. This helps maintain efficiency and prevents overheating.

• Verify Water Drainage: Ensure the drain system is free from blockages and that water flows freely. This prevents water buildup and potential damage to the machine.

• Professional Servicing: Schedule annual maintenance with a certified technician to inspect all components, address potential issues, and ensure the machine operates efficiently
