Ice is very important to restaurants and any other business which serves drinks such as juice bars, pubs, and cafes.That's why it is important to keep your ice machine in good working condition. Like any piece of equipment, it has to be maintained regularly. Here are some basic things to look out for:
CLEAN AND SANITIZE THE BIN REGULARLY
Ever read a story about a restaurant that got shut down for slime or mold in the ice machine? Ice machine bins are prime places for germs to grow. The cold slows them down, but they love all that water. Follow your manual's recommendations for cleaning and sanitizing procedures. The manual or local regulations will tell you how often it needs to be cleaned.
CLEAN THE AIR FILTER
The air filter must be cleaned regularly to keep the machine in good order. A clogged filter will cause heat buildup that could lead to damage. It will also make the cost of operating the machine higher. It's a simple fix, but one that can be missed.
REPLACE YOUR WATER FILTERS
Ice must taste fresh, but ice must also be made with soft water. Hard water does more than putting impurities into ice. It can build up the scale of components. An excessive amount of scale can wreck a machine. Filtration also removes chlorine and other chemicals and offers an additional layer of protection against microbial invasion. Change your water filters regularly to keep your ice and your ice machine in top condition.
CHECK FOR DAMAGE
Give the machine an inspection at regular intervals. Does anything appear loose or corroded? Do you find any leaks anywhere? Does the compressor sound like it's running properly? Does your ice look good and in proper shape? Check with your owner's manual for other things to look for during a routine check.
There are many things that you can do in-house to keep your ice machine well maintained. The service manual for the machine will detail any specialized maintenance you may need to perform. Keep your machine maintained and you will always have the ice you need when you need it.
Importance of Well-maintained Ice Machine
The cleaning and sanitizing of the ice machine regularly could bring about a high-quality sanitary ice and less ice machine operation issues. Nevertheless, regular interior cleaning of ice storage bins is crucial for keeping clean and sanitary ice.
Clean the interior of the ice storage bin twice per year, please refer to local health department standards for guidance regarding how often you should clean the inside of your ice storage bin between preventative care service visits.
