Frequently Asked Questions
How long does commercial kitchen equipment installation take?
Installation time varies significantly: single appliance with existing connections 2-4 hours; single appliance requiring new utility connections 4-8 hours; full kitchen buildout 1-3 weeks depending on scope, permit timelines, and contractor scheduling. Work with your installer to create a realistic timeline that accounts for utility work, inspections, and health department walkthroughs before opening.
How often should commercial ice machines be cleaned?
Commercial ice machines should be professionally cleaned and sanitized every 6 months at minimum, or more frequently in hard water areas. The FDA Food Code requires ice machines to be clean and sanitized to prevent mold, slime, and bacterial growth. Between professional cleanings, staff should clean the exterior, ice bin, and scoop holder regularly. Many operators who skip cleaning face costly repairs from scale buildup and potential health code violations.
Why has my ice machine's production dropped?
Reduced ice production is usually caused by: mineral scale buildup on evaporator plates reducing heat transfer, dirty condenser coils reducing refrigeration efficiency, warm ambient temperature in the equipment room, low refrigerant levels, or water flow problems. The fix for scale buildup is professional cleaning and descaling. Other issues require a technician. Never ignore reduced production — it often progresses to complete failure.
