Turn off refrigeration, shut off water supply and remove ice from bin. Remove water trough, water curtains, water distribution tubes and other parts that may be scaled with deposits. Mix 3 oz. of Nickel safe per gallon of warm water in a plastic container and place parts to be cleaned in solution. Soak components until they are free of deposits. To remove stubborn or thick deposits, use a soft brush to help the dissolving action. Use recommended solution as above to clean storage bin, top, bottom and side extrusions and other components where deposits have collected. Rince all cleaned parts and machinery with fresh water. To clean evaporator and the remaining recirculating water system, add Nickel Safe to the water in the ice maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If none are available, use 5 fl. Oz. of Nickel Safe per gallon of water in the machine. Allow cleaning solution to circulate up to 20 minutes. To remove heavier and thicker scale deposits, it may be necessary to recirculate the solution longer than 10 minutes. Be sure all distribution and weep holes are clear. Drain cleaning solution and flush with fresh water for a minimum of 30 seconds. After flushing, plug the drain. Thoroughly rinse bin with clean water after all components are cleaned. Return machine to service; discard first batch of ice.
