Preventive Maintenance for Prodigy Plus Cubers
Maintenance is in three areas:
The ice machine’s water system.
The ice storage bin or ice dispenser.
The ice machine’s air filter or condenser.
Maintenance includes the following:
Scale removal
Sanitization
Filter cleaning or change
Schedule
At some sites the water supply to the ice machine will contain significant quantities of minerals, and that will result in a water system becoming coated with these minerals, requiring more frequent maintenance than twice per year.
Ice Machine Water System
Remove scale from water system and change filters every 6 months minimum
Sanitize the water system whenever the scale has been removed
Bin Liner Cleaning and Sanitizing
At the same time of scale removal and ice machine sanitization
Air Filter Cleaning
Every 6 months with the ice machine scale removal or more frequently as needed
Remote Condenser Coil Cleaning
Every 6 months with the ice machine scale removal or more frequently as needed
