What are the cleaning and maintenance requirements?

Plan for three layers of upkeep:

Daily: empty and wipe the bin area, keep the scoop clean, and avoid storing bottles or food in the ice bin.

Weekly: clean external air intakes and surrounding area, check the drain is flowing freely, and inspect for scale or slime in the bin and chute.

Periodic deep clean and descale: frequency depends on water hardness and usage, but many venues schedule a regular descale and sanitise routine to protect ice quality and output.

For best results and fewer callouts, fit a water filter where appropriate, and follow the model-specific cleaning method and chemicals listed in the Unifrost documentation for your machine.
