Q: What are the dimensions and electrical requirements?
A: Typical dimensions are about 54″ W × 34″ D × 44″ H (varies slightly by installation), and it operates on 208–230 V / 60 Hz / single‑phase power (breaker and amp requirements vary by setup).

Q: Where is the FS1222R‑3 commonly used?
A: Ideal for restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, stadiums, cafeterias, and large foodservice facilities needing reliable, high‑volume flake ice production.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean & Sanitize Every 3–6 Months
  Thoroughly wash the ice bin, evaporator, auger, and internal components to prevent scale, bacteria, and odors.

• Descale the Water System
  Use a manufacturer‑approved descaling solution about every 3–6 months (based on water hardness) to remove mineral deposits and maintain efficient ice production.

• Air Filter Maintenance
  Remove and clean or replace the air filter monthly (more often in dusty or greasy environments) to ensure proper airflow and condenser performance.

• Replace Water Filters
  Change water filter cartridges approximately every 6 months or when water flow decreases to ensure clear, fresh‑tasting ice.

• Condenser & Coil Cleaning
  Keep condenser coils and surrounding areas free of dust and debris to improve cooling efficiency and lower energy usage.

• Inspect Sensors & Components
  Clean photo‑eyes, sensors, and mechanical parts to avoid production interruptions and ensure accurate ice‑making cycles.

• Annual Professional Service
  Have a qualified technician inspect refrigeration components, fan motors, electrical connections, and refrigerant system once a year for peak performance.
