Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning:

• Drip Tray & Dispensing Area: Regularly clean the drip tray and dispensing chutes with warm water and mild detergent to remove any debris. Use scale remover if necessary.

• Dispensing Bin: Remove the bin and clean it with warm water and mild detergent. Sanitize with a solution of water and sanitizer. Allow parts to air dry before reassembling.

• Air Filter Cleaning:

• Clean the air filter regularly to ensure efficient operation. Dust and debris buildup can obstruct airflow, reducing the efficiency of the cooling system.

• Water System Maintenance:

• Periodically clean and sanitize the water system to ensure the ice and water remain clean. This will help to prevent microbial growth that could affect ice and water quality.

• Ice Level Sensor Maintenance:

• Ensure that the ice level sensors (such as photo eyes) are clean and free of any obstructions to ensure accurate ice detection and proper operation of the dispenser.

• General Tips:

• Avoid Contaminants: Never dispose of food waste, coffee, or other contaminants into the drip tray. This could clog the system and cause malfunctions.

• Power-Lock Switch: Always use the power-lock switch during maintenance to ensure the safety of the operator while working on the unit.
