Ice Maker Downtime Tips

This time of uncertainty came unexpected for us all and confronts us with many new challenges.
One of the segments affected most by the outbreak and the subsequent containment measures are the international tourism, leisure, and foodservice industry. Businesses such as bars, restaurants, and hotels have to remain closed or operate on reduced capacity. While assessing strategies for alternative income or risk management in the short term, we would like to draw attention to a few things you want to do now, to make sure your machine is perfectly maintained during its downtime.

CAUTION: Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the ice maker from the electrical supply network.
