General Electric GE WX08X42870 NICKEL SAFE ICE MACHINE CLEANER

The GE WX08X42870 Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner is a professional-grade, food-safe descaler engineered specifically for high-performance ice production systems. Originally formulated as the industry-standard Nu-Calgon 4287-34, this concentrated citric and phosphoric acid solution is critical for maintaining units with sensitive nickel-plated or tin-plated evaporators. Using non-approved cleaners on these surfaces can lead to irreversible plating damage, making this OEM-approved descaler the necessary choice for preventative maintenance. It effectively dissolves calcium and magnesium scale, removing lime scale deposits that cause harvest delays and distributor tube blockages.

This 16 oz. bottle provides a highly concentrated ice machine cleaner that mixes into a vibrant green solution, ensuring technicians can easily verify a thorough rinse. It meets Manitowoc specification #GES-6 and is fully compatible with major commercial brands, including Scotsman, Hoshizaki, and Ice-O-Matic. In GE Monogram undercounter ice machines like the UCC15 series, regular application every six months ensures optimal heat transfer and prevents nugget or cube jam-ups. This NSF-registered ice maker cleaner is a staple for any HVACR contractorÆs service kit to ensure equipment longevity and ice quality.

• Evaporator Protection: Specially formulated to be safe for nickel and tin-plated evaporators, preventing the pitting and peeling caused by harsher acids.
• Maximum Efficiency: Rapidly eliminates mineral scale to clear plugged distribution holes and restore full water flow.
• Technical Compliance: Meets Manitowoc specification #GES-6 and is an OEM-recommended cleaner for GE and other leading manufacturers.
• Visual Verification: The distinctive green color serves as a built-in safety indicator to confirm the system is completely flushed of chemical residue.
• Broad Compatibility: Engineered for use in commercial cubers, flakers, and nugget ice machines across all major industry brands.

Is the GE WX08X42870 safe for all ice machines?
Yes, its nickel-safe formulation makes it compatible with both standard stainless steel evaporators and specialized nickel-plated or tin-plated components found in Manitowoc and Scotsman units.

What is the proper mixing ratio for this cleaner?
Technicians should typically mix 3 fluid ounces of cleaner per one gallon of system water, though always verify specific reservoir capacities in the manufacturerÆs service manual.

Can I use this in my GE Monogram undercounter ice maker?
Absolutely. This is the direct OEM replacement part for GE Monogram and Profile series undercounter units to maintain the sensory quality of the ice and prevent mechanical failure.
