STATEMENT OF WORK Follett Ice Machines: SOW Ice Machines FY17 1. Disconnect power to ice machine. 2. Remove and dispose of all ice from the storage bin. 3. Remove front panel to gain access to ice maker. Turn compressor power switch on the side of the control box to "OFF". (If an ice maker appears to require extensive calcium or scale cleaning, annotate which machine (by location, building, and room) and report it to the General Utilities Supervisor.) 4. Shut off water supply to machine or block reservoir float in up position to prevent filling of reservoir. (Shut-off valves could be located behind machine, under an adjacent counter, or inside of ice maker cabinet top tight corner where water supply enters machine.) 5. Drain water from the reservoir by removing the plug from the evaporator drain line and empty water into a suitable container. This can be dumped into any sink or floor drain. 4. Prepare nickel-safe ice machine cleaner (NuCalgon or equivalent) per product instructions. Materials to be provided by CVAMC General Utilities Section (Materials provided to include filter material, ice machine cleaner, plastic ddrain tubing.) 5. Pour solution into reservoir and run gear motor only for 15 minutes. (Connect power to unit, leave compressor switch OFF) 6. Loosen clamp and pull off ice transport tube from the compression nozzle. Remove the stainless steel compression nozzle and submerge in a cup of cleaning solution. (Avoid dropping or losing screws and/ or clamps.) 7. While cleaner is working, clean and/or replace air filter clean ice and water dispenser/ chutes, clean drain hoses, drain tray, and condensate pump (if applicable.)Existing carbon filters will be removed by VA personnel as per manufactures recommendation. When the manufacture informs the VA of a suitable replacement the VA will install. 8. Remove storage bin hopper wheel and clean under wheel and bottom of storage bin. Reinstall hopper wheel. 8. After 15 minutes, disconnect power and drain ice machine cleaner from reservoir and evaporator. 9. Prepare a sanitizer solution (per product instructions), that is safe for use on food surfaces. (I.e. mix 1 oz household bleach to 2 gallons 120 °F water.) 10. Rinse the compression nozzle in clean water and submerge in a cup of sanitizing solution. 11. Connect ice transport tube directly onto the evaporator outlet port, fill reservoir with sanitizing solution. Reconnect power and run the gear motor only. 12. After 10 minutes, turn the compressor switch to "ON" and turn water supply back on. Allow machine to make ice for 20 minutes. 13. After 20 minutes, turn compressor switch to "OFF" and allow ice to continue making until ice stops ejecting into upper storage bin. (May take up to 5 minutes.) 14. Disconnect power to machine. 13. Disconnect distribution hose from evaporator outlet and reinstall compression nozzle and clamp on evaporator outlet then reconnect distribution tube to compression nozzle. Discard all ice from upper storage bin. Clean and rinse the storage bin, ice spout and front drain pan and drain tubes. 14. Ensure no ice made from sanitizing solution remains in storage bin. 15. Reinstall front cover. Ensure cover is secure enough so as not to fall off. 16. Restart Checklist: -Power is reconnected -Water supply is turned on (reservoir has refilled and float has shut off water flow when reservoir is ½ to ¾ full.) -Verified no water leaks from water supply tubing/ hoses, filters, or fittings. -Drain hoses (and condensate pump, if applicable) are routed properly. (Pump is plugged in) -Compressor power switch is turned "ON". (Ice should start making and cublets begin falling into storage bin within 5-10 minutes.) -Air filter is in place. -Front cover is secure. Ensure cover will stay in place and cannot just "fall off". -Area is clean and dry. Hoshizaki Ice Machine: Cleaning instructions are inside the front panel of every unit and in the customer instruction manual. Be sure to follow the dilution instructions and use warm water to mix the cleaning solution. Make sure that all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning. Wear liquid-proof gloves for safety to handle the cleaning and sanitizing solutions. This will prevent skin irritation. TO CLEAN: 1. Remove all ice from the bin and the evaporator. Using a freshly washed ice scoop and ice transport buckets (on site), save as much ice from the bin as possible. To remove ice from the evaporator, turn off the power supply and turn it back on after 3 minutes. The defrost cycle starts, which removes the cubes from the evaporator. 2. Turn off the power supply. 3. Remove the front panel and base cover, then remove insulation panel by lifting up the panel slightly and pulling it toward you. 4. Drain the water sump tank. FOR SMALL KM MODELS - A drain or suction hose that you can pull off allows water to drain into the bin. In some models, the overflow pipe (inside the sump) can be removed to allow the sump to drain. Turn the pipe counter-clockwise (unscrew) to remove. Use caution not to lose the rubber o-ring at the base of the overflow pipe. 5. Clean the evaporator. (See the inside front panel or the owner's manual for more detail regarding individual steps for each machine.) With the correct dilution of cleaner to warm water in a bucket, pour the solution inside the sump and move the toggle switch to the WASH position. FOR KM UNITS - An additional cleaning valve should be moved to the open or clean position to allow the solution to move between the evaporator plates and over the ice-making side of the plate. This valve should be left open for 5 minutes at the start of the cleaning cycle and should be closed so the unit can make ice. The compressor will not work unless the valve is completely closed. The solution should be circulated until the ice maker is clean. Depending on previous maintenance and water quality, this may take a substantial about of time. To help clean in cases of poor maintenance or bad water, move the spray tubes out about 1/2" to allow the solution to run down the fins of the evaporator. You may also use an evaporator cleaning brush. 6. Empty the sump. 7. Remove the check valve, spray tube, and float switch with the rubber connector. Take these components apart and let them soak in ice machine cleaner to break down the build-up. Also, take the water valve apart and clear the diaphragm of scale and make sure the diaphragm's weep hole is clear. Thoroughly rinse these components and re-install. 8. Follow directions on your machine to rinse the ice machine. This should be done a total of four times to rinse thoroughly. TO CLEAN THE ICE BIN: 1. Mix a solution of de-scaler and water following the manufacturer's recommendation (usually 5-6 ounces per gallon). Follow Hoshizaki's recommendations on the front panel or the instruction manual. Use a spray bottle to apply to the inside of bin. 2. Remove the baffle from the interior of the bin by removing its thumbscrews. 3. Using either a clean cloth or nylon brush, scrub the interior of the bin and the baffle. Soak the scoop until deposits are removed. 4. When clean, flush the bin, baffle, scoop and cleaning utensils with fresh water until de-scaler is removed. TO SANITIZE THE ICE MACHINE: 1. BE SURE THE SANITIZER AND THE CLEANER ARE NOT MIXED. WHEN MIXED, THESE CHEMICALS CREATE GASES WHICH ARE HARMFUL IF INHALED. Run the sanitizer solution through the ice machine in the same way you did the cleaner. 2. Make sure to rinse at least two times. TO SANITIZE THE ICE BIN: 1. Using the same method as you used to clean the bin, use a sanitizing solution of Sodium Hypochlorite and water (1/2 oz of solution to 1 gal. of water). 2. Use cloth or brush to clean interior, baffle, thumbscrews and scoop. 3. Thoroughly flush the interior of the bin as well as other parts that were sanitized again with more fresh water to remove all traces of sanitizer. 4. Return the saved ice into the storage bin and return machine to use. *Unless otherwise indicated, all machines are Follett cublet ice makers/ water dispensers.
