Abstract: An automatic descale and sanitize process for an ice maker which requires less user intervention and time. During descaling, a main water reservoir of an ice maker sump is filled with water to a descale water level and mixes with a cleaner placed in the main water reservoir. The water/cleaner mixture is pumped through the ice maker to descale the water system and freeze plate. During sanitizing, the sump is filled with water to a sanitize water level, above the descale water level, and mixes with sanitizer placed in a sanitizer reservoir of the sump. The water/sanitizer mixture is pumped through the ice maker to sanitize the water system and freeze plate. During descaling, the sanitizer placed in the sanitizer reservoir does not come into contact with the water in the main water reservoir. After the descale and sanitize process, the ice maker can return to making ice.

Abstract translation: 制冰机的自动除垢和消毒过程，需要较少的用户干预和时间。 在除垢过程中，制冰槽的主水箱充满水至除垢水位，并与放置在主水箱中的清洁剂混合。 水/清洁剂混合物被泵送通过制冰机去除水系统和冷冻板。 在消毒过程中，水槽内充满水，达到除垢水位以上的消毒水位，并与放置在贮槽的消毒池中的消毒剂混合。 水/消毒剂混合物通过制冰机泵送，以净化水系统和冷冻板。 除垢时，放在消毒器贮存器中的消毒剂不会与主水箱中的水接触。 在除垢和消毒过程之后，制冰机可以返回制冰。
