Manitowoc AuCS User manual

AuCS®
Automatic Cleaning System
An efficient, dependable, and affordable
accessory that schedules and performs
routine ice machine cleaning automatically.
The innovative AuCS®accessory virtually
eliminates the need to have a service technician
perform manual cleaning procedures on the water
distribution system of your Manitowoc ice machine.
It’s a known fact that regularly scheduled preventive
maintenance (cleaning) reduces the total operating
cost of any ice machine. With AuCS, you simply
select the cleaning frequency (2, 4, or 12 weeks);
AuCS does the rest...automatically. AuCS is also
affordable, as the entire system costs less than the
expense of three manual cleanings.
Cleaning or Sanitizing: The AuCS accessory
can dispense either cleaner or sanitizer. It cannot
dispense both at the same time. Refer to the
Installation Owner/Operator Guide supplied
with the AuCS accessory to determine type of
solution needed and proper procedure for changing
solutions. Use only Manitowoc Ice Machine cleaner
or sanitizer.
Cleaner: used to remove and control build-up of
lime scale or other mineral deposits.
Sanitizer: used for sanitizing and to control algae
(slime) and other airborne bacteria (yeast).
Warranty: three-year warranty covering all parts
and labor from the date of original installation.
Smartly Styled: exterior finish is stainless steel.
Dimensions: only 12.00" (30.48 cm) wide,
3.43" (8.7 cm) deep, 12.12" (30.78 cm) high.
