Interior Cleaning and Sanitizing

GENERAL

Clean and sanitize the ice machine every six months for

efficient operation. If the ice machine requires more

frequent cleaning and sanitizing, consult a qualified

service company to test the water quality and

recommend appropriate water treatment.

sanitizing.
