Installation: Product Specications
Location Limitations: The product is designed to be
installed indoors, in a controlled environment. Air
cooled models discharge very warm air into the room
out the back. Space must be allowed at the left side
and back for air intake and discharge.
Water cooled models discharge warm water into the
building’s drain. Space needs to be provided on both
sides and above for service access.
Space Limitations - Affects Ice Making Capacity
Note: Although the machine will function, ice capacity
of air cooled machines will be signicantly reduced
with minimal clearance at the sides, back and
top. Some space is recommended for service and
maintenance purposes on all models.
6" of space at the sides and back are required for
adequate operation. To get the most capacity, locate
the machine away from heat producing appliances
and heating ducts. Provide several feet of space to
the left for maximum ice capacity.
Walls or other large machines near to the ice machine
might also cause a reduction in ice capacity. One foot
behind and two feet above will be required to make
rated capacity.

Water
The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine
will have an impact on the time between cleanings
and ultimately on the life of the product. There are
two ways water can contain impurities: in suspension
or in solution. Suspended solids can be ltered out.
In solution or dissolved solids cannot be ltered,
they must be diluted or treated. Water lters are
recommended to remove suspended solids. Some
lters have treatment in them for suspended
solids. Check with a water treatment service for a
recommendation.
Scotsman lters:
A triple head lter is recommended for the potable
water. Either the Scotsman SSM3 taste and odor lter
system, or the ADS-AP3 Aqua Patrol system. RO
water. This machine can be supplied with Reverse
Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no
less than 10 microSiemens/cm.
Condenser Water Supply - ltration not recommended
for this water supply
GPH, 70 degree water
C1448W 70
C1848W 106
Potential for Airborne Contamination
Most water lters remove chlorine from the water
supply to the machine which contributes to this
situation. Testing has shown that using a lter that
does not remove chlorine, such as the Scotsman
Aqua Patrol, will greatly improve this situation, while
the ice making process itself will remove the chlorine
from the ice, resulting in no taste or odor impact.
Additionally, devices intended to enhance ice machine
sanitation, such as the Scotsman Aqua Bullet, can
be placed in the machine to keep it cleaner between
manual cleanings
Water Flush
Cube ice machines use more water than what ends
up in the bin as ice. While most water is used during
ice making, a portion is designed to be drained out
every cycle to reduce the amount of hard water scale
in the machine. That’s known as water ush, and an
effective ush can increase the time between needed
water system cleaning.
In addition, this product is designed to automatically
vary the amount of water ushed based on the purity
of the water supplied to it. The water ush rate can
also be set manually.
Adjustments of ush due to local water conditions are
not covered by warranty.
Installing an ice machine near a source of yeast
or similar material can result in the need for more
frequent sanitation cleanings due to the tendency of
these materials to contaminate the machine.

Uncrate and Set Up
Begin with unpacking the ice storage bin. Remove the
carton, and using part of the carton as a cushion, tip
the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the
legs or casters.
Note: Turn the leg levelers in all the way and adjust
after the ice machine is on top and in its selected
location.
Return the bin to an upright position. Check the bin
top gasket for gaps and tears, ll any in with food
grade sealant prior to placing the ice machine on the
bin.
Install the bin top adapter if one is required for the
application.
If the ice machine has not been unpacked, do so now.
Remove the carton from the skid. Lift the ice machine
off the skid directly onto the bin.
Note: The machine is heavy! Use a mechanical hoist
if necessary.
Secure the ice machine to the bin with the hardware
provided (two metal straps and 4 bolts).
Open door to access On
and Off switch buttons.
Lower Light and Switch Panel
This user accessible panel provides important
operational information and duplicates the lights and
switches on the controller. It also allows access to
the On and Off buttons that operate the ice machine.
Level the bin and ice machine using the adjustment
part of the legs.
Bin Recycling
Many times an ice machine head will be replaced,
while the existing ice storage bin will be reused. This
is an acceptable practice, if some precautions are
taken:
• The used bin must be in good condition. Broken
doors, hinges, or warped walls are reason for
considering a new bin.
• The used bin top edge gasket must be replaced.
Water leaks could occur if the gasket tape is not
replaced.
• The used bin should be the proper size for the ice
machine head.
Sometimes access to the switches should be limited
to prevent unauthorized operation. For that purpose
a xed panel is shipped in the hardware package.
The xed panel cannot be opened.
To install the xed panel:
1. Remove the front panel and remove the bezel.
2. Spread the bezel frame open and remove
original door, insert xed panel into bezel. Be
sure it is in the closed position.
3. Return bezel to panel and install panel on unit.

Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance
This ice system requires three types of maintenance:
• Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors.
• Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin or dispenser.
• Clean or replace the air lters and clean the air cooled condenser (air cooled models only).
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without
human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their
water systems with a specically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral build up that forms during
the ice making process.
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine is
cleaned and sanitized.
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year.

Fingerprints, dust and grease will require cleaning
with a good quality stainless steel cleaner.
Water lters
If the machine has been connected to water lters,
check the cartridges for the date they were replaced
or for the pressure on the gauge. Change cartridges
if they’ve been installed more than x months or if the
pressure drops too much when the ice machine lls
with water.

What to do before calling for service
Reasons the machine might shut itself off:
• Lack of water.
• Freeze cycle takes too long.
• Harvest cycle takes too long.
• High discharge temperature.
• Controller self test failure.
Check the following:
1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or
building been shut off? If yes, the ice machine will
automatically restart within 25 minutes after water
begins to ow to it.
2. Has power been shut off to the ice machine? If
yes, the ice machine will automatically restart
when power is restored.
3. Has someone shut the water off to a water cooled
unit? If yes, the ice machine may need to be
manually reset.
4. Is the curtain open because some ice is stuck
under it? If so, remove the ice and the machine
should start in a few minutes.
Note: Curtain can be removed & replaced anytime
the machine is in a standby mode or when it is in a
freeze cycle. Removal of the curtain during harvest
terminates harvest at that point and, if left off, will
result in the machine shutting off.
To Manually Reset the machine.
• Open the switch door
• Push and release the Off button.
• Push and release the On button.
To Shut the Machine Off:
Push and hold the Off button for 3 seconds or until the
machine stops.
