Vinegar, at a pinch. During my time in East Herts, I used vinegar occasionally to descale my kettle - when CLR wasn't available.
Scale is a large part of the non biological component of ice machine fouling.
@Brian: ever come across citric acid in the cleaning of a marine HEX? I went out on limb last year with it for a Titanium HEX.

Vinegar!
By far the best, cheapest and most available cleaner.
25% vinegar with warm water will clean, disinfect and remove bad odors.
