User manual SCOTSMAN AFE400

[. . . ] AFE400 INTRODUCTION To the owner or user: This service manual is intended to provide you, and the maintenance or service technician, with the information needed to install, start up, clean, maintain and repair this product. The AFE400 is an ice machine that produces flaked ice and stores it in a insulated bin. It automatically maintains the level of ice by turning on when the ice level falls and switches off when it is full. This unit in serviceable in place; the ice storage bin and hood may be removed from the chassis to allow service access without removing the ice machine from its installed location. [. . . ] After the scale has been removed, rinse all surfaces inside the bin with clean, potable water. To Sanitize the bin interior: The hood must be removed from the storage bin so that the joint between the two can be cleaned and sanitized. Open the storage bin door and locate the knobs at the right and left inside wall. Note: the door may be removed from the back of the hood when the hood is off. Use an approved sanitizer and follow the directions and warnings of that sanitizer or use the following instructions for use of household bleach, if it meets local codes: 1. Mix sanitizing solution of 1 ounce of household bleach to 2 gallons of water. Using clean rubber gloves and a clean cloth, wipe all interior surfaces of ice storage bin, hood and door with sanitizing solution. Be sure and wipe the joint between the hood and bin with the sanitizing solution. Use a clean brush to thoroughly swab all interior surfaces with the sanitizing solution. Stainless Steel Components Inside Bin The stainless steel parts in the bin also require periodic cleaning. Chemicals in the water supply, such as chlorine, cause brown stains to appear on the surface of the stainless steel parts. General Cleaning - staining is usually removed by washing the parts with ordinary cleaning powder such as Bon-Ami or Copper-Glo and water. It can be removed from the water supply by using a charcoal or activated carbon water filter to treat the water to the ice machine. Exterior Cabinet Cleaning: The exterior cabinet may be cleaned by scrubbing with soap and water. A nylon type brush may be used to scrub stubborn deposits.
