Proper maintenance not only ensures the longevity of your ice machine, but also guarantees the production of high-quality ice.
Lets have a look at the simple things you can do to make sure you keep your ice machine running the best possible way.
- Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning and servicing is crucial when it comes to keeping your ice machine in the best condition. You need to ensure cleaning chemical is run through the water tank and the ice bin is kept clean.
The build up of dirt, minerals and other contaminants will effect the quality of the ice and put a strain on the machines internals. It's important to keep on top of the regular cleaning.
- Checking Water Filters
It's extremely important to have an external water filter kit fitted to your ice machine to prevent impurities getting into the ice, but to also protect the internals of the ice machine. Depending on your water quality, we highly recommend changing the water filter kits every 6-12 months.
- Inspect for Leaks
Regularly inspecting the ice machine for any leaks in the water supply line or drain hoses can help prevent any sort of water damage to the machine and/or surrounding areas.
- Professional Maintenance
It's a great idea to pre-book regular maintenance and servicing by a refrigeration mechanic. This way you know your ice machine is getting the correct clean and service completed by a trained professional.
-Proper Ventilation
It is crucial that you don't box your ice machine into a small space as all units produce some amount of heat. Ensuring the ice machine has adequate ventilation will prevent overhearing. Keep the area clean of obstructions and ensure proper airflow to maintain optimal performance.
