Cleaning

Follett ice machines and dispensers, and their associated cleaning and sanitizing procedures, are designed for

use with potable water sources. The presence, or suspected presence, of infectious agents may call for additional

measures, including the replacement of components and more comprehensive disinfection measures. Follett

recommends that these cleaning and sanitizing procedures be reviewed with the appropriate infectious agent subject

matter experts to assure complete remediation.

Periodic cleaning of Follett’s ice machine system is required to ensure peak performance and delivery of clean,

sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures that follow should be performed at least as frequently as

recommended and more often if environmental conditions dictate.

Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning of the ice machine system

should be performed by your facility’s trained maintenance staff or a Follett authorized service agent. Regardless of

who performs the cleaning, it is the operator’s responsibility to see that this cleaning is performed according to the

schedule below. Service problems resulting from lack of preventive maintenance will not be covered under the Follett

warranty.

Recommended cleaning intervals*

Maestro Plus Frequency

Drain Line weekly

Drain Pan/Drip Pan weekly

Exterior, Water Station Tube as needed

Condenser monthly (air-cooled only)

Ice Machine semi-annually

Transport Tube semi-annually

* Ice machine must be cleaned prior to start-up.

Weekly

The exterior may be cleaned with a stainless cleaner such as 3M™ Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish or equivalent.

Monthly

Condenser (air-cooled ice machine only)

1. Use a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush to carefully clean condenser coils of lint and debris to ensure optimal

performance.

2. When reinstalling counter panels in front of RIDE®model ice machines, be sure that ventilation louvers line

up with condenser air duct.

Semi-Annually (more often if conditions dictate)

§A cleaning procedure should always include both the ice machine and bin/dispenser.

§Icemaking system can be cleaned in place.

Cleaning Tool Checklist

§(1) 1.5 gallon (or larger) plastic bucket

§(2) clean cloths

§Sanitary gloves

§Safety glasses

§SafeCLEAN™ Plus ice machine cleaner

§(2) SaniSponge™ (PN 00131524 - single sponge)

CAUTION!

§Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (or face shield) when handling SafeCLEAN Plus solution.

§Use only Follett approved cleaners.

§Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, metal scrapers or sharp objects to clean any part of the dispenser.

SafeCLEAN Plus Solution: Follow the directions on the SafeCLEAN Plus packaging to mix 1 gal. (3.8 L) of Follett

SafeCLEAN Plus solution. Use 100 F (38 C) water.

Cleaning Procedure

Note: Check drains and drain cup to ensure they are open and owing freely.

1. If ice machine was running recently, ensure that the evaporator is completely free of ice before proceeding.

If there is ice in the evaporator, complete steps 2-7 using only hot water to remove the ice, then begin

Cleaning Procedure again.

2. Remove front or top cover.

3. Disconnect bin signal cable from ice machine electrical box.

4. Press CLEAN switch. The MAINTENANCE light will turn on and the machine will drain. Wait for the LOW

WATER light to turn on.

5. Remove lid from cleaning cup and ll (about 1 quart) until

SafeCLEAN Plus

solution completely lls the

reservoir. Place lid back on cup.

6. CLEANER FULL light will turn on and machine will start cleaning cycle then rinse three times; this process

takes approximately 15 minutes.

7. When machine is nished cleaning, the MAINTENANCE light will turn off.

8. Remove top bearing insulation. Loosen Phillips-head screw on nozzle connected to evaporator. Remove

nozzle from evaporator side only, leave other side of nozzle connected to transport tube.

9. Soak one SaniSponge in remaining

SafeCLEAN Plus

solution.

10. Insert the sponge soaked in

SafeCLEAN Plus

solution into nozzle then insert a dry sponge into the nozzle.

11. Replace nozzle onto evaporator and tighten screw. Ensure drain is connected to reservoir and vent tubes

are connected to evaporator drain pan. Replace top bearing insulation.

12. Reconnect bin signal cable. Wait for ice to push sponges through transport tube.

13. Collect sponges from ice storage bin.

14. Replace front or top cover.

15. After 10 minutes, dispense all ice and discard.

16. Clean the dispenser/bin.

Exterior Cabinet

Clean stainless steel panels with stainless steel cleaner.

Service

Ice machine Operation (all models)

Follett’s ice machine consists of four distinct functional systems:

§Harvesting system

§Refrigeration system

§Water system

§Electrical control system

These four systems work together to accomplish the production and harvesting of ice. A problem in any one of these

systems will result in improper operation of the entire ice production cycle. When troubleshooting the ice machine,

it is important to analyze the entire system operation to determine which system is not functioning properly, then

pinpoint the component within that system that is malfunctioning. Determine what corrective action must be taken

before making any adjustments or replacing any components.

The icemaking process

The Maestro Plus ice machine uses a stainless steel jacketed evaporator and operates on a continuous freezing

cycle. Water is supplied to the evaporator from the water reservoir where the water level is controlled by a oat valve.

This valve also shuts off the water supply when the ice machine is not running.

When the ice machine is running, a layer

of ice forms on the interior surface of the

evaporator. This ice is continuously removed

by a slowly rotating (10RPM) auger. The

auger carries the ice upward into the cavity

formed by the top bearing housing and the

compression loop, where it is compressed to

remove excess water. When the ice reaches

the desired hardness it rotates within the

cavity and is forced through a discharge

port and compression nozzle and into the

ice transport tube. The discharge tube and

compression nozzle are slightly restricted to

further compress the ice and produce the

desired hardness.

A solid state control board located in the

electrical box of the ice machine controls

the normal operation of the ice machine

and monitors gearmotor torque. This control

board will shut down the ice machine should

an over-torque condition occur. It is very

important that you familiarize yourself with

the operational sequences detailed in this

manual before attempting to service the ice

machine.

MC_414A, MF_414A R290 230 V/50 Hz Ice Machines 9

Water system

The water level in the evaporator is controlled by a ll solenoid (Fig 1) and level detecting sensors. Water sensing

rods (Fig. 2) extend down into the reservoir at the end of the evaporator assembly. The system works via electrical

conductivity as follows:

One of the longest probes is a common. When water is between any of the other probes and the common, the

PC board will sense the activation. During normal operation, the water level rises and falls between the Normal

High and Normal Low sensors. As water is consumed to make ice, the level will fall until the Normal Low sensor is

exposed, triggering the water feed solenoid on. Water will ll until the Normal High sensor is activated.

Note: The potable water dissolved solids content must be greater than 10 ppm for the water control system to

function properly. If using reverse osmosis water ltration system, ensure T.D.S level is greater than 10 ppm.
