Product Details
Remove mineral scale with the descaler made for Scotsman ice equipment.
CLEAR1 is a concentrated Scotsman ice machine cleaner formulated to dissolve lime and mineral scale in machines whose current Scotsman instructions specify Clear One. The 16-fluid-ounce liquid descaler is nickel-safe when diluted and used as directed. Order from IceMachinesPlus, a commercial ice specialist since 2006, and stock up on ice machine cleaning supplies for scheduled maintenance.
CLEAR1 removes scale; it doesn’t sanitize the machine. Descaling breaks down mineral deposits, while sanitizing is a separate microbial-control step. Complete both processes when the model procedure requires them, using a separate approved sanitizer.
Before using Scotsman ice machine cleaner, confirm the procedure for the exact machine:
| Use check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Manual match | Verify that the current Scotsman manual specifies CLEAR1 or Clear One concentrated scale remover. |
| Cleaner amount | Measure the quantity listed for the model. Scotsman machines don’t all use the same amount. |
| Dilution | Use only the potable-water volume and temperature stated in the manual. |
| Cleaning cycle | Follow the model-specific shutdown, draining, clean-mode, flushing, and restart sequence. |
| Sanitizing step | Apply the separately specified sanitizer after descaling when required. |
| User protection | Read the label and Safety Data Sheet, and wear the required protective equipment. |
A correct Scotsman ice machine cleaner routine includes a few nonnegotiable controls:
- Remove or discard stored ice when directed.
- Measure the concentrate instead of estimating.
- Don’t mix CLEAR1 with sanitizer or any other chemical.
- Keep it secured in its original container.
- Flush the system and discard ice produced during cleaning or sanitizing as instructed.
- Restart or reset the machine only through the model’s procedure.
Button sequences, cycle lengths, dilution ratios, and reset steps vary. These official Scotsman cleaning instructions specify different CLEAR1 quantities for different models. Use that document only for a listed machine; the installed model’s manual controls the work.
This Scotsman ice machine cleaner is an acidic concentrate, not a mild household cleaner. The CLEAR1 Safety Data Sheet classifies it as corrosive and warns that it can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. Follow its handling, first-aid, storage, and disposal instructions.
Some applicable Scotsman models use a six-month default cleaning reminder, but the required interval depends on the model, water quality, mineral concentration, usage, and environment. Visible or recurring scale may require more frequent service. Our commercial ice machine cleaning guide supports general planning, but it doesn’t replace the manufacturer’s procedure.
Appropriate ice machine water filtration systems can help manage sediment or scale-forming conditions when matched to the water supply. Filtration doesn’t remove every dissolved mineral or eliminate scheduled descaling.
Keep this Scotsman ice machine cleaner in the maintenance inventory when the machine manual specifies concentrated Clear One scale remover. Confirm the model, required quantity, separate sanitizer, and protective equipment before service.
A few details about Scotsman CLEAR1 are worth confirming before use.
- What cleaner should I use for a Scotsman ice machine?
- Use the cleaner specified in the current model manual. CLEAR1 is the concentrated scale remover specified in many Scotsman procedures, but confirm the product, amount, and dilution for the exact machine.
- Is Scotsman CLEAR1 a cleaner or a sanitizer?
- CLEAR1 is a descaling cleaner, not a sanitizer. It removes mineral scale. Complete a separate sanitizing step with the product and concentration Scotsman specifies when required.
- How do you use Scotsman CLEAR1 ice machine cleaner?
- Follow the model manual. Measure and dilute CLEAR1 as specified, run the cleaning cycle, flush the system, sanitize when required, discard affected ice, and restart the machine as directed.
- How often should a Scotsman ice machine be descaled?
- Follow the model manual. Some applicable Scotsman models use a six-month default reminder, but hard water, visible scale, heavy use, and environmental conditions may require more frequent descaling.
- Can I use vinegar instead of Scotsman ice machine cleaner?
- No, not when the procedure specifies CLEAR1. Vinegar has different concentration and material-compatibility characteristics, so it may conflict with the manufacturer’s instructions or provide incomplete descaling.
