The ice maker is a kind of refrigeration mechanical equipment that produces ice after the water passes through the evaporator and is cooled by the refrigeration system refrigerant. It uses a refrigeration system to produce ice after the water, as a carrier, passes through a certain device in the energized state. Ice makers are mainly divided into household ice makers, commercial ice makers and industrial ice makers. Especially in summer, the ice maker is more frequently used. So, how should the ice maker be cleaned after use?
 
How to clean the ice machine:
1. After use, it is necessary to clean the ice cubes inside the ice machine. When cleaning the ice machine, make sure to turn off the power, and do not use the water directly flush the machine body. The right way is to use clean water, and add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent (corrosive solvents such as acid and alkali are strictly prohibited) to wipe the enclosure and inner tank of the machine, and then wipe it with a soft cloth.
2. It is required to unscrew the head of the water inlet hose of the ice machine every two months to clean the filter screen of the water inlet valve, so as to prevent the sand and mud impurities in the water from blocking the water inlet and causing the water inlet to become smaller, as a result the ice machine will not produce ice.
3. Clean the surface dust of the condenser every two months. Poor condensation and heat dissipation will cause damage to the compressor components. When cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner, a small brush, etc. to clean the oil and dust on the condenser surface, and do not use sharp metal tools to clean, so as to avoid damage to the condenser.
4. The water pipe, water tank, refrigerator and protective film of the ice machine need to be cleaned every two months. When not in use, it should be cleaned, and its ice mold and the moisture in the box should be dried with a hair dryer. Ice machine should be placed in a well-ventilated and dry place without corrosive gas, and should not be stored in the open air.
 
The ice making machine should not be placed in the open air, and it is better to install it in a safe, clean, well-ventilated environment without direct sunlight and rain. The ice making machine should not be close to the heat source, and the operating environment should not be lower than 5°C and no higher than 40°C, lest the temperature is too high to affect the heat dissipation of the condenser and fail to achieve a good ice-making effect.
