摘要： A method of cleaning an evaporator of an ice maker can include a first manual intervention comprising activating a switch of an ice maker, activating the switch of the ice maker comprising initiating an overall cleaning procedure; a first automatic step comprising signaling to a user that a second manual intervention comprising pouring one of a cleaning fluid and a sanitizing fluid into a tank of an evaporator case of the ice maker is required; the second manual intervention comprising pouring the one of the cleaning fluid and the sanitizing fluid into the tank; and a second automatic step comprising automatically initiating and completing at least one of a cleaning stage and a sanitizing stage upon completion of the second manual intervention, automatically initiating the at least one of the cleaning stage and the sanitizing stage comprising operating a cleaning valve of a water circuit of the ice maker by a main controller of the ice maker.

摘要： A method of cleaning an evaporator of an ice maker can include activating a switch of the ice maker in a first manual intervention of an overall cleaning procedure to initiate the overall cleaning procedure; sounding an audible alarm to alert a user that a second manual intervention is required; pouring a cleaning fluid into a tank of the evaporator case in the second manual intervention; automatically initiating and completing one of a cleaning stage and a sanitizing stage upon completion of the second manual intervention, automatically initiating the one of the cleaning stage and the sanitizing stage including operating a cleaning valve of a water circuit of the ice maker by a main controller of the ice maker; and automatically initiating and completing a rinsing stage.
