Don Stevens is excited to announce the 2026 Manitowoc Service Schools, coming to multiple locations across the Midwest. Led by Manitowoc’s Regional Service Manager, these hands-on training sessions are designed to help foodservice technicians strengthen their knowledge of Indigo® NXT®, NEO®, and Koolaire® ice machines—covering everything from operation to troubleshooting. View upcoming dates and register through our new Training & Events Calendar.

When your Manitowoc Indigo® or Indigo® NXT ice machine goes into Safe Mode, it’s trying to tell you something. In this quick Manitowoc Tech Tip video, Technical Trainer Josh Klepadlo explains what triggers Safe Mode, how it protects your machine, and the steps to diagnose common faults—so you can get your ice production back on track fast.

Food safety starts with clean equipment. Learn why ranges, ovens, and fryers are top inspection hotspots, how regular cleaning prevents risks, and how Royal Range of California helps foodservice professionals maintain safer, more efficient kitchens.

Don Stevens, in partnership with Benedict Sales & Service, donated a Manitowoc ice machine to Chippewa Valley Technical College. This contribution helps students gain real-world training on commercial kitchen equipment, preparing them for careers as skilled foodservice technicians.
