SPECIFICATIONS

Before beginning installation, be sure that all of the
components necessary for complete assembly of
the ice system are available, and are the correct
components with regard to model, voltage, and
finish.

A stacking kit (KSCMS) is required for stacking
CME1002 or CME865 ice machines. It
interconnects the sonar bin ice level controls. A
CME865 or CME1002 may only be stacked onto
models CME865, CME1002, MCM1062 or
CMS1002.

The CME865 or CME1002 will fit any current 30"
wide Scotsman bin, such as the BH550 or
HTB555, without needing a bin top. Other bins will
require a bin top.

Note: The sonar transducer, located in the base of
the machine, must NOT be covered by installation
material (such as a non-Scotsman bin top). The
transducer must have clear access to the ice to be
able to sense the ice level.

Water Limitations

An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it
takes a raw material, water, and turns it into a food
product, ice. The purity of the water is very
important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing
product life. These general recommendations
should help keep the ice maker clean:

1. Filter the water used to produce ice. Water filters
vary greatly in ability and function. Install one that
filters out suspended solids to a dimension of 5
microns or smaller. The finer the filter the better,
but finer filters will clog sooner than course ones. It
may be necessary to add a course filter ahead of
the fine filter to prolong filter life.

2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a
water test, and recommendations regarding filters
and treatment.

When servicing a machine, it’s helpful to compare
that unit’s operating characteristics to those of a
new, clean, normally operating machine. What
follows is that type of information:

Service Limitations

Some space on the sides, the back and the top
should be allowed for service and utility
connections.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Machine & Bin Assembly

Overview:

This ice system is comprised of 2 major
assemblies:

1. The ice storage bin.

2. The ice maker itself.

Storage Bin:

After uncrating the ice storage bin, attach the legs
to the bin:

1. Use a portion of the carton as a cushion, and tip
the storage bin on its back.

2. Screw the legs into the threaded holes in the
bottom of the bin.

3. Turn the leg levelers all the way in to prepare
the bin and ice machine for leveling.

4. Return the bin to the upright position.

Ice Maker:

1. Arrange for proper electric, water and drain.
See instructions for the plumber and for the

electrician.

2. Position the ice storage bin in the selected
INDOOR location.

3. Level the bin, in both the front to rear and side
to side directions.

4. Inspect the bin top mounting gasket which
should be flat, with no wrinkles, to provide a good
water seal when the cuber is installed on top of
the bin.

5. Install the modular cuber on top of the bin using
care to be sure a good seal is made between the
two cabinets, use of a mechanical lift is
recommended. Align the holes in the bottom back
of the cabinet to mate with the two mounting straps
on the top rear of the bin.

6. Use bolts and straps found in the hardware
package to secure the ice machine to the ice
storage bin. When alignment and leveling are
completed, tighten the bolts to secure the
mounting straps.

Water Supply

The recommended water supply line is a 3/8-inch
O.D. tubing with a minimum operating pressure of
20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG.

A separate water inlet is required for the
condenser water supply.

Connect to cold water supply line with standard
plumbing fittings, with shut off valve installed in an
accessible place between the water supply and
the cuber. In some cases a plumber will be
required.

CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES

Drain Connections:

Connections: All drains are gravity type and must
have a minimum of 1/4 - inch fall per foot of
horizontal run. The drains to be installed must
conform with the local plumbing codes. Install a
vertical open vent on the ice machine reservoir
drain. The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and
vented floor drain. The storage bin drain should be
insulated.

Water Cooled Connection: A separate cold water
supply is required, connect to the 3/8-inch FPT
fitting at the back of the cabinet. An additional
drain line is required to drain the water cooled
condenser, and must not interconnect to any of the
other drains.

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN: Electrical Connections

See the NAMEPLATE for current requirements to
determine wire size to be used for electrical
hookup. The cuber requires a solid chassis to
chassis earth ground wire. See Wiring Diagram.

Be certain the cuber is connected to its own
electrical circuit and individually fused. Voltage
variation should not exceed ten percent of the
nameplate rating, even under starting conditions.
Low voltages can cause erratic operation and may
be responsible for serious damage to the
icemaker.

Electrical connections are made at the rear of the
icemaker, inside the junction box.

ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX

All external wiring should conform to the
national, state and local electrical code
requirements. Usually an electrical permit and
services of a licensed electrician will be
required.

INITIAL START UP

Ice Maker:

1. Remove front panel.

2. Remove two screws and the control box cover.

3. Remove the evaporator cover.

4. Remove the left side service panel.

5. Check that the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch
and the Compressor ON-OFF toggle switch are in
the OFF position, on the control box.

6. OPEN the water supply line shut off valve.

7. Inside the control box is the shaft of the timer
and the switch assembly. Rotate the shaft of the
timer and switch assembly clockwise to where the
actuator arm on the microswitch drops off outer
cam into cam slot. See Timer Cam Positions.

9. Observe water fill cycle: The water pump will be
operating and the water inlet solenoid valve will
OPEN. Incoming water flows from the valve
through the tubing, the reservoir fills and excess
water drains out the machine drain. At the end of
the harvest cycle the water inlet solenoid valve will
close and the water fill cycle is complete. If the
reservoir is not full, turn the shaft of the timer
clockwise into a new harvest cycle; this opens the
water valve again.

The water pump forces water from the reservoir up
to the water distributor at the top of each
evaporator plate, where water is dispensed,
cascades down both sides of the evaporator plate
and drains back into the reservoir for recirculation.

10. Check that the water cascades down over the
cube molds and into the reservoir. Note: Some
spray is normal on new machines.

11. When the reservoir is full, move the
compressor ON-OFF switch to the ON position.

12. Check operation of the freezing cycle: Very
shortly ice begins to form in the cube cells, and
tubing becomes frosted at the top of the
evaporator plate. Freezing time will be longer than
average for the first cycle.. Average complete
cycle time is about 14 - 16 minutes.

8. Move the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch to the
ON position.

13. Warm water should begin to flow from the
condenser drain.

Note: To optimize the balance between ice
production and water use, the water cooled
discharge pressure must be 245 P.S.I.G. Check
the discharge pressure and adjust the water
regulating valve to obtain 245 P.S.I.G. pressure.

14. Check CUBE SIZE
The dimensions of the cubes are fixed by the size

and shape of the molds on the evaporator plate,
except that the thickness of the cube MAY need to
be adjusted at start up. There is only one size of
cube that is correct; adjusting the cube size control
to that size of cube will allow the ice maker to
produce ice at its most efficient size. The correct
size cubes will be fully formed at the edges; will
harvest off of the evaporators beginning with
individual cubes at the top of the evaporator, then
vertical strips for the balance; and will appear
similar to the illustration for “Correct Size Cube”.

Adjust for the correct size if needed:

To produce SMALLER sized ice cubes:
Locate cube size control knob, in the front of the

control box. Rotate this knob one eighth of a turn
counter clockwise. Observe size of the ice cubes
in the next ice cube harvest and adjust again if
needed, until the correct ice cube is achieved.

To produce LARGER ice cubes:
Locate cube size control on the front of the control

box. Rotate the knob one eighth of a turn
clockwise. Observe size of ice cubes in the next
cube harvest and adjust again if needed, until
correct the ice cube size is achieved.

14. Check Harvest Time. The machine must
harvest all cubes before returning to a freeze cycle.

Increase the harvest time if there is less than 15
seconds of harvest time after the last cube has
fallen into the bin.

Decrease the harvest time if there is much more
than 15 seconds of harvest time after the last cube
has fallen into the bin. Note: Harvest time is
dependent upon the water and air temperatures at
the ice machine. Do not adjust harvest time too
short, as this will cause a freeze up .

See the next page for detailed harvest time
adjustment instructions.

setting is between 8.25 and 9 pounds.

15. Check ICE BIN LEVEL CONTROL
The amount of ice maintained in the bin is

adjustable. The normal setting is “full”. If the
operator desires, the level of ice in the bin may be
adjusted lower to shut off the machine when the
bin is only partially full.

To Test The Ice Level Setting:

1. Open the bin door and locate on the bottom of
the ice machine, the ice level sensor. It’s in a
socket about 2" in diameter and located left of the
evaporator plates.

2. When the machine is running, wait until near the
end of a “harvest” cycle.

3. Hold a flat object about the size of this service
manual over the ice level sensor socket.

4. The ice machine should turn off at the end of the
harvest cycle.

5. Slowly lower the flat object straight down.

6. The ice machine will start again at the point
where it will maintain the ice level.

Adjust Bin Ice Level

1. Locate ice level control knob.

2. Turn knob to the desired position.

3. Replace front panel.

4. To test, wait until the ice machine is near the
end of a “harvest” cycle, if there is ice in the bin
higher than the position the ice level control is set
for, the ice machine will turn OFF at the end of the
harvest cycle. If no ice in the bin, test again as
described under, “To Test The Ice Level Setting”.

16. Replace all panels, the machine is ready for
automatic operation.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE TIMER & SWITCH ASSEMBLY

One complete revolution of the cam on the timer
represents eight minutes. The first part of the
cam rotation is the end of the freezing cycle, and
the final few minutes is the defrost/harvest cycle.
Rotating the shaft of the timer cam Clockwise will
put the ice machine into the freeze or harvest
cycle, as required in the cleaning instructions.

Disconnect electrical
power supply to icemaker
before beginning.

To adjust the timer & switch assembly:

1. Remove front panel.

2. Remove control box cover.
A. To start the HARVEST CYCLE: Slowly rotate

the shaft of the timer and switch assembly,
clockwise until the actuator arm on the microswitch
initiates the harvest cycle. An audible click can be
heard, but in a noisy area, look at the cam and
switch to observe the event

C. To adjust the length of the harvest cycle:

1. Loosen the adjustment screw on the cam and
rotate the shaft of the cam to move the cam. More
of a gap between the high and low portions will
yield more harvest time.

2. Tighten the set screw.

3. Replace the control box cover and front panel.
it. is important that the length of the harvest cycle

allow enough time for all the ice cubes to fall from
the evaporator. Too short of a time will cause the
evaporator to freeze up and stop ejecting ice into
the bin. Too much time wastes ice making
capacity, energy and water. Adjustment of the
harvest cycle may require an adjustment of the
cube size control.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Compressor Contactor

The compressor contactor carries the compressor
line current. The contactor is wired so any control
in the pilot circuit, such as the bin control, and high
pressure controls, etc., will cause the contactor
holding coil to be de energized, when the control
contact OPENS, thereby breaking the circuit to the
compressor.

Cube Size Control

This reverse acting (closes on temperature fall)
thermostat determines how long the freezing cycle
will be. The cube size control closes it’s contacts
when the evaporator cools to the set temperature,
starting the timer. A variation in heat load (either
ambient air or incoming water temperature) will
affect the efficiency of the refrigeration system, and
that will vary the length of time it takes the
evaporators to cool to the temperature at which the
cube size control is set to close, which, in turn, will
affect the overall cycle time. See CUBE SIZE
ADJUSTMENT BEFORE attempting to adjust the
control.

Hot Gas Solenoid Valve

The hot gas solenoid valve opens only during the
harvest cycle. When it opens, it diverts the hot
discharge gases so that they flow directly into the
evaporator plates, by-passing the condenser and
thermostatic expansion valve. The hot gases warm
the evaporators, releasing the ice cubes from the
ice cube molds. The hot gas solenoid valve is
installed in a branch of the discharge line, and
when the timer switches the ice machine into the
harvest cycle, the energized solenoid coil lifts the
valve stem within the valve body, allowing the hot
discharge gas to be diverted to the evaporators.

High Temperature Cut Out

This temperature sensor is located next to the hot
gas valve, on the outlet side.

During normal operation, it does not affect the ice
machine, but it will shut the machine off if the hot
gas line overheats. It is an automatic reset.

Relay

The multi-function, three pole, double throw, relay
plugs into a socket on the printed circuit board in
the control box. The relay functions in part to
by-pass the bin control during the harvest and
freeze cycles, preventing the icemaker from
shutting off in the middle of a cycle. The bypass
action allows only complete freeze and harvest
cycles; the only time that the ice maker can shut
off on bin control is as the end of the harvest cycle.

Timer - Timer & Switch Assembly

The timer begins to turn when activated by the
cube size control. The outer surface, or large
diameter lobe of the timer cam, determines the
length of time for finish freezing of the ice cubes,
while the inner surface, or small diameter lobe,
determines length of the harvest cycle. The
single-pole, double throw microswitch on the timer
controls the power to the plug in relay coil, making
it either the freezing or harvest cycle. The
microswitch is actuated by a cam assembly
directly connected to the timer motor. The timer
cam can be adjusted to vary the defrost time, as
required. One complete rotation of the cam will
take eight minutes. Harvest is preset at 2 and two
thirds minutes.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Ice Level Control

This electronic control uses sound waves to
measure the distance between the bottom of the
ice machine and the top of the ice in the bin. It is
designed to control the machine’s ice production to
maintain that distance.

The control is adjustable so that the ice machine
will maintain a certain height of ice. It will not fill
any closer to the ice machine than 8", and will not
work if the distance to the bottom of the bin is
greater than 8 feet.

Because it uses sound waves, a slight “ticking”
sound can be heard coming from the bottom of the
machine.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

WATER PUMP

CME865W & CME1002W

Electric Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet solenoid valve fills the reservoir
assembly with water. Excess water overflows out
the overflow standpipe located at the back of the
reservoir. This action fills and rinses the reservoir
during each harvest cycle. The flow rate is .75
g.p.m.

Water Distribution System

The water distribution system evenly supplies
water to all cells of the evaporator plates. The
water pump pumps water from the reservoir up the
vertical tygon tube to the tee. From there water is
channeled through the water manifold to the water
distributors, above each evaporator plate, and
from six holes within each distributor, water flows
to the cells of each side of the evaporator plates.
Gravity flow returns the unfrozen excess portion of
water to the reservoir for recirculation.

Reservoir

The reservoir, located below the evaporators,
stores the inlet water charge, and collects the
water that flows over the evaporator plates. Above
the reservoir, but below the evaporators are the
cube chutes, designed to retain any water splash
from ice making or harvest. Most ice will be falling
into the bin below the center evaporator.

This is a manual reset control that shuts down the
icemaker, should the discharge pressure ever
reach 400 PSIG.

Pressure-Temperature Chart for R-404A

CME865W & CME1002W

REFRIGERATION SERVICE

This ice machine uses R-404A refrigerant and polyolester oil. Do NOT
use mineral oil in this refrigeration system.

••R-404A is a "Near Azeotrope" so liquid charging is required: See the

next page.

••When the system is serviced, a special liquid line drier is required. It is

included with replacement compressors.

••R-404A (HP62) is not compatible with mineral oil, so these ice

machines use Polyolester oil. Polyolester oil absorbs water very
easily. When one of these refrigeration systems is opened for service,
it must be re-sealed as soon as possible (15 minutes maximum).

••Special leak detection equipment is required to locate small refrigerant

leaks. Usually a leak detector capable of detecting a Halongenated
refrigerant or HFC-134A will work. Check with the leak detector
manufacturer if in doubt.

Access Valves: To use the access valves:

••Remove the cap from the stem, use a 3/16" allen wrench to check

that the valve is CLOSED. The remove the core cap.

••Close the valve and replace the caps when the job is finished.

The valve must be closed and the caps must be on or the valve
will leak.

General Information:

Work on the refrigeration system should only be done when it is certain
that the system needs repair.

••Refrain from checking refrigeration pressures without reason.

Visual inspection of the water system, observation of the ice
formation, amp draw, voltage, and other techniques will lead to proper
diagnosis.

••If gauges must be used, don’t always check the high side pressure. If

the condenser is clean and seems to be operating correctly, it most
likely is.

••If gauges must be used, use very short hoses to minimize refrigerant

discharged into the air.

••Refrigerant should not be added except as a way to determine the

proper operation of the product. If the system was low on refrigerant,
there is a leak, and it must be found and repaired.

••This system has a critical charge, it must be recharged with the

correct amount of refrigerant as listed on the nameplate of the ice
machine, or performance will suffer.

••Anytime the refrigeration system has been opened, the dryer should

be replaced. Note: Only a HFC type dryer can be used.

••When brazing the tubing connections to components such as the

TXV, the component must be protected by heat sink material.

Recover, reclaim or recycle refrigerant. The method chosen is up to
the service company. Any refrigerant placed into a Scotsman ice machine
must meet ARI spec 700-88. Reclaim programs are available through
most refrigerant wholesalers.

LIQUID CHARGING

Access Valves

Note: There are no valve

cores in this valve.

Instructions for R-404A

In preparation for charging, the low side hose
should have a sight glass, and/or a restrictor
device (such as a "Charge Faster") installed in it
for metering liquid into the low side of the system.

1. After a thorough evacuation to at least 200
microns, shut off the manifold valves and switch
off the vacuum pump.

2. Place a drum of R-404A onto an electronic
scale.

3. Attach the charging hose to the drum.

4. Open the valve on the drum and purge the
charging hose.

5. Zero out the scale.

6. Shut the low side access valve at the ice
machine.

7. Open the discharge manifold valve full open.

CME865W & CME1002W

8. Watch the scale, when the correct charge is
shown, shut the manifold valve.

Note: If all of the charge will not "go in" the
discharge side:

A. Shut the discharge access valve at the ice

machine.

B. Switch the machine on.
C. Open the low side access valve at the ice

machine.

D. Open the low side manifold valve and observe
the sight glass to be certain that only gas is
flowing into the system.

E. When the proper charge is indicated on the
scale, shut off the manifold valve(s).

9. Shut off the valve on the refrigerant drum.

10. Re-open the manifold valves until all liquid has
flowed out of the hoses.

11. Shut the low side access valve on the ice
machine.

12. Remove hoses from ice machine and replace
all caps.
