Location:
After uncrating and inspection, the unit is ready for
installation. It is important that the machine be
installed INDOORS in a location where it has
enough space around it to be accessible for
service. A minimum of 6" must be allowed at the
back for air circulation on air cooled models. Try to
avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be sure
that the location for the machine is within the
environmental limitations.
Storage Bin:
Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the
carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the
casters, use a heavy duty leg kit if stacking two ice
machines on one bin.
1. Arrange for proper electric, water and drain.
See instructions for the plumber and for the
electrician.
2. Single ice machine on bin: Use legs packed with
the bin. After mounting the legs position the ice
storage bin in the selected location:

Two ice machines on a bin require a stacking kit
such as KSCMS48. Use heavy duty leg kit KLP6
when stacking onto the BH900.
Note: Allow enough space to the left and back to
service the machine. Do NOT push the bin into
position, instead, lift it there. Pushing a bin may
damage the legs and leg mounts.
Level the bin in both the front to rear and side to
side directions by adjusting the leg levelers.
Stacked units use non-adjustable legs, and must
be leveled with shims. Select a well ventilated
location for air cooled models.
Note: Air cooled models blow air from front to back.
3. 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.
Ice Maker:
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 rear
of the cabinet to mate with the two mounting holes
on the top rear of the bin. Use bolts and straps
found on the back of the ice maker to secure the
ice machine to the bin.
ICE MACHINE AND BIN ASSEMBLY
When alignment and leveling are completed,
tighten the bolts to secure the mounting straps.
Remove the front panels, and remove the
evaporator shipping brackets and hardware.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Location & Assembly
Stacking Instructions
A stacking kit, KSCMS48, is required to
interconnect the ice level controls, seal the
freezing compartments, and to retain the top
edges of the bottom unit’s front panels.
Follow the installation instructions of the stacking
kit, but in general:
Use heavy duty legs (kit KLP6).
When stacking two units, remove the top panel
and the evaporator cover from the lower icemaker.
STACKING
(The top removed from t h e l ower ice maker will no
longer have any function.)
A stainless steel bracket (from the kit) must be
attached to the top of the bottom machine before
the units are stacked.
Place strips of gasket material (from the stacking
kit) on the top edges of the bottom unit’s freezing
compartment.
Carefully lift the uncrated top unit onto the bottom
one and align the two cabinets. Use of a
mechanical lift is recommended for this step.
At the back of the two ice makers,
bolt the upper ice maker cabinet to
the lower ice maker cabinet using the
mounting straps and bolts from the
hardware package.
Add the relay box to interconnect the
two ice machine’s bin control circuits.

SEE NAMEPLA TE 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 ice
maker.
FOLLOW ALL APPLICALBE CODES
Electrical connections are made at the rear of
the ice maker, inside the junction box.
All external wiring should conform to the
national, state and local electrical code
requirements. Usuall y an el e ctrical permit and
services of a licensed electrician will be
required.

FOR THE PLUMBER
FOLLOW ALL LOCAL CODES:
The recommended water supply line is a 3/8-inch
O.D. copper tubing with a minimum operating
pressure of 20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG.
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.
Water Limitations:
An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant, it
takes in 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. It is generally better to filter the water,
although there is no one filter that will cure all
water problems. A good filter combined with a
polyphosphate feeder gives about the best overall
performance.
Cold, potable water must be supplied to the water
inlet fitting.
CONNECTIONS:
All drains are gravity type and must have a
minimum of 1/4-inch fall per foot on horizontal
runs. The drains to be installed to conform with the
local plumbing code. Install a vertical open vent on
drain line high point to insure good draining. The
ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and vented floor
3
drain. Recommended bin drain is
⁄4" rigid tubing
and should be routed separately . Insulation for
high humidity areas is recommended.
Water Cooled models require another inlet
connection and another drain for the condenser.
The drain must be separate from the bin drain.
Bin Drain: The bin drains from the bottom, and
needs no vent unless there is a long horizontal
run. Terminate drains above the drain receptacle
with the proper air gap per local code.
The ice machine sump drain fitting is 3/4" FPT.
There must be a vent at this connection for proper
3
sump drainage. Recommended drain tube is
⁄4"
rigid tubing and should be routed separately.
Insulation for high humidity areas is
recommended.

timer until the actuator arm on the microswitch
drops off outer cam into cam slot. See “Front View
of Tim er” .
7. Move the ICE-OFF-WASH rocker switch to the
ICE position.
8. Check the water fill cycle: For several minutes
the inlet water valve will be open and water will
flow into the reservoir. Near end of the fill cycle,
water should be overflowing the reservoir and
draining thru the reservoir drain. If at the end of the
fill cycle the reservoir is not full, repeat step 6.
Check that the sump covers are snapped in place.

water is flowing over all of the cube cells.
Note: Some water may spray from the evaporators
is normal when the machine is new. The spray will
stop after a few batches of ice.
9. When the sump has filled, move the compressor
ON-OFF toggle switch, to the ON position.
10. On air cooled models the fan motors will begin
to blow warm air out the back of the machine.
Water cooled models will begin to flow warm water
out of the condenser drain.
Note: To optimize the balance between ice
production and water use, the freeze cycle
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. discharge.
11. Check operation of the freezing cycle: Ice will
begin to form from the top of the evaporators to the
bottom. After the first cycle freezing time will range
between 13 - 18 minutes on CME1202 and 11 - 15
minutes for the CME1402.

12. After an ice harve st check Cube Size.
There is just enoug h water av ailable in the
reservoir to mak e one full sized batch of cub es.
The water pump may pick up some air at th e end
of the freezing cycle , so at the end of freeze so me

the water pump stops pumping water before the
end of freeze, the cube size contro l ma y be set too
cold, or the water system may be leaking water.
Compare cube size to the "Cube Size Diagra m "
To adjust cube size, loca te cube size control on the
front of the control bo x. Rot at e the adjus tme nt
screw one eighth of a turn:
••Clockwise for LARGER ice cubes
•• COUNTER Clockwise for SMALLER ice cubes
Observe size of the ice in the next ice cube

When the cubes are the correct size, they will be
connected to geth er vertically, and drop off in strips.
The batch weight will be about 13.5 to 14.5 lb.
Note: If the cubes at the bottom rows of some
evaporators are smaller than oth ers, th e size differen c e
does not affect capacity or perf orman ce. However, th e re
should be some ice in all cells. If not , contact the Factory.

13. Check harvest time. There must be enough
time in the harvest cycle to defrost all the cubes,
but not an excessive amount that will waste
capacity . The length of the harvest cycle is
determined by the timer cam positions.
If needed, adjust the harvest time so there are
about 15 seconds of harvest time left after the last
cube has fallen from the evaporators.
Because harvest time varies with the water and air
temperatures at the ice machine, colder air and
water will result in faster ice making, but require
more time for harvest. Do NOT adjust harvest
time too short or the machine will not harvest
all the ice.
The harvest time is set by: loosening the set screw
on the timer cam, rotating the shaft until the
opening between the cams is either increased or
decreased, and re tightening the set screw. More
of an opening between the high parts of the two
cams = more harvest time.
An adjustment of the cube size control may be
needed after the harvest time has been changed.
Check cube size again.
14. Check Bin Ice Level Control: With the ice
maker in the harvest cycle, place something solid
directly below the transducer socket (located in the
base to the left of the evaporators). The machine
will then switch off at the END OF THE HARVEST
CYCLE. Within seconds after removal of the
obstruction, the ice maker will restart.
The bin level control has two positions: Full and
Partial. Full is about 8" from the bottom of the
transducer socket. Note: The unit will make one
batch of ice when full if switched Off and then On.
15. Wash out the bin with clean, potable water .
16. Replace all covers, panels and screws.
17. Fill out the Warranty Registration and
Customer Evaluation form and send it in. Explain
to the owner/user the significant specifications,
operation, and maintenance requirements of the
ice machine. Inform the owner of the name and
telephone number of the local authorized
SCOTSMAN Distributor, or service agency.

FREEZING CYCLE OPERATION
Water from the sump assembly is pumped to the
water distributor system at the top of each
evaporator plate. From the water distributor the
water cascades by gravity over all cells of the plate
and to the sump assembly below.
CME1202 & CME1402
WATER DISTRIBUTION
At the beginning of the freezing cycle, the electrical
circuit is completed to the compressor and the
water pump. The water pump operates
continuously, through both the freezing cycle and
the harvest cycle.
During the freezing cycle, the hot gas solenoid
valve and the water inlet solenoid valve are
CLOSED. When the ice cubes are partially
formed, the cube size control (sensing bulb
attached to the suction line) will CLOSE, and
connect power to t he timer motor. The timer then
controls the remainder of the freezing cycle. The
timer will keep the ice maker operating in the
freezing cycle for a selected length of time. This
will give the ice cubes time to fully form. after
which, the timer will switch the ice maker into the
harvest cycle, through the contacts of the timer
assembly microswitch.

HARVEST CYCLE - HOT GAS BYPASS
When the timer switches the ice maker into the
harvest cycle, the finish relay is de-energized, and
the hot gas valve and inlet water valve OPEN.
Then high pressure, high temperature gas
refrigerant being discharged from the compressor
is diverted from the condenser through the hot gas
solenoid valve into each evaporator plate. During
this cycle, the refrigerant bypasses the condenser.
Both the compressor and the water pump are
operating.
The finished ice cubes are released from the sides
of each evaporator plate by the warming effect of
the hot gas condensing in each evaporator plate
and the water cascading over the ice cubes. The
released ice cubes drop into the ice storage bin
below. At the end of the harvest cycle, the timer
cam will push in the microswitch actuator arm. If
there is no ice close to the bin level control’s
transducer, a whole new cycle will begin. If there is
ice within 8" of the base of the machine (when the
bin level control is set for full) the ice maker will
shut OFF.

Cube Size Control
This reverse acting thermos tat contro ls th e length
of the freezing cycle. It is sensing th e temperature
of the suction line. When the suction line gets cold
enough, the cu be size con tro l c lose s (on

either ambient air or incoming water temperature
will affect the efficiency of the refrigeration system,
and this will vary the length of time it takes the

Relay
The multi-f un ct ion, three pole, double th row,
plug-in relay is inserted into a receptacle on the
printed circuit board in the control box. The relay
functio ns in pa rt to by-p ass the bin control to
prevent the ice maker f rom shutt ing OFF, when the
bin control opens during the freezing cycle. The
bypass action ens ure s full-s ized ice cubes with
each harvest cycle.
Timer - Timer & Switch Assemb ly
The timer cam is controlled by the cube size
control. The outer surfa ce , or larg e diame te r lobe
of the timer cam, determines the timer cyc le for
finish free zing of th e ice cube s, while th e inn er
surface, or small diamet er lobe, determin es the

When the microswitch button is pushed in there is
power connected to the coil of the rela y, and the
unit is in the freeze cycle. When the microswit ch
button is released, the power to the relay is
stopped, and the unit goes into harvest. The
microswitch is actuate d by a cam assembly
directly connected to the timer motor.
One complete rotatio n of the cam will take eight
minutes. Harvest is preset at three and one half
minutes, but is adjustable.

Bin 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. When set at
FULL it will not allow the machine to fill the bin any
closer to the ice machine than about 8", and it will
not work if the distance to the bottom of the bin is
greater than 8 feet.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
PUMP
Water Inlet Solenoid Valve
The water inlet solenoid valve fills the sump
assembly with water. Extra water overflows out the
overflow standpipe of the sump. This action fills
and rinses the sump during each harvest cycle.
The flow rate is 1 g.p.m.
Water Distribution System
The water distribution system functions to evenly
supply water to all cells of the evaporator plates.
The water pump pumps water from the sump 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 sump reservoir for
recirculation.
Hot Gas Solenoid V alve
CME1202 & CME1402
The hot gas solenoid valve opens only during the
harvest cycle, to divert the hot discharge gas from
the compressor, by passing the
condenser and capillary tube, for
direct flow to the evaporator plates
to release ice cubes from the ice
cube molds.
Fan Pressure Control Air-Cooled Models only.
In both freeze and
harvest cycles, the fan
pressure control functions
to maintain a minimum
discharge pressure by
cycling the fan on and off.
The approximate C.I. is
240 PSIG and C.O. is
190 PSIG.

for each vertical column of cubes, shut down the
operation and remove and clean all water
distributor manifolds. Reinstall the water distributor
manifolds.
Note: The ice making portion of the water system
should be sanitized after cleaning by repeating
steps 2-12, except substitute an approved
sanitizing solution for the cleaning solution.

ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustment Of The Cube Size Control
CAUTION
BEFORE adjusting the cube size control, check
other possible causes for cube size problems,
refer to Service Diagnosis section. DO NOT
perform adjustment when a new cube size control
is installed until the control bulb has been properly
installed in the tube well, insulated and the ice
maker has been through a complete freezing and
harvest cycle.
Adjustment of the cube size control is available to
change the cubes to the correct size, see INITIAL
START UP.
To produce LARGER sized ice cubes:
1. Locate the cube size control, on the front of the
control box.
2. Rotate the adjusting knob one-eighth of a turn
Clockwise.
3. Observe size of ice cubes in next ice cube
harvest and, if needed, repeat step 2 above until
correct ice cube size is achieved.
Adjustment of the Water Regulating Valve
Water Cooled models maintain a constant
discharge pressure by varying the flow of water
thru the water cooled condenser.
The discharge pressure should be set for 220
PSIG.
If change is required, attach a refrigeration gage
manifold to the ice machine service ports, and
check the discharge pressure in a freeze cycle.
Adjust the stem of this valve until 220 PSIG is
achieved.
To produce SMALLER sized ice cubes:
1. Locate the cube size control, on the front of the
control box.
2. Rotate the adjusting knob one-eighth of a turn
COUNTER Clockwise.
3. Observe size of ice cubes in next ice cube
harvest and, if needed, adjust again until correct
ice cube size is achieved.

Adjustment Of The Timer & Switch Assembly
Electrical power
present in the control
box can cause personal
injury.
Disconnect power
before beginning to
adjust timer.
One complete revolution of the cam on the timer
takes eight minutes. The normal setting is three
and a half minutes, as set at the factory.
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 a corresponding
adjustment of the cube size control. Rotating the
shaft of the timer cam clockwise will allow putting
the machine into either the freezing cycle or
harvest cycle, as required in the cleaning
instructions.
To Adjust The Timer & Swi tc h Asse mbl y:
The length of the harvest cycle can be changed by
loosening the set screw on the cam, and then
rotating the shaft so that the opening between the
cams change. More of an opening between the
cams = more harvest time. The harvest time may
be reduced if not needed. This will yield more ice
per day.

REFRIGERAT ION SERVICE
CME1202 & CME1402
General:
••Scotsman reco mmen ds that any work on the
refrigera tio n syst em only be done when it is
certain that the syst em ne eds repa ir.
••Refrigerant should no t be add ed exce pt as a
way to determine the proper op eration of the
product . If the syst em was low on refrig era nt ,
there is a leak, and it must be found and
repaired.
••This system has a critical charge, it must be
recharge d with the corre ct amo un t of refrig erant
as listed on the name pla te of the ice mac hin e,
or performance will suffer.
•• Anytime the ref rige rat ion syste m has been
opened, the dryer should be replaced an HFC
dryer must be used.
••When brazing the tubing connections to the h ot
gas valve or thermo static expansion valve , the
compone nt mu st be prote cte d by heat sink
material, and a dry nitrog en purge is also
recommended.
Specifically:
Recover, reclaim or recycle refrig erant. The
method chosen is up to the serv ice co mpa ny.
There are vario us mec ha nica l dev ices tha t may be
used to recycle ref rige ran t at the field leve l,
however, Scotsman requires that any refrigerant
placed into a Scotsman ice machine meet the
latest ARI spec 700. Recla i m programs are
available thru most ref rige rant wholesalers.
Use conserva tio n minded servic e proced ure s:
••Refrain from checking refrig era tio n pre ssu res
without reaso n. There are man y ways to
determine the prope r operat ion of a Scotsman
ice machine without using refrigerant gauges.
Visual insp ect ion of the wat er sys te m,
observation of the ice formation, amp draw,
voltage, and other techniques will lead to proper
diagnosis. Scot sma n also reco mmen ds th at , at
the time of initial start up, gauges no t be used.
••I f gauges must be used, do no t always check
the high side pre ssu re. If the co nden ser is clea n
and seems to be operating correctly, it most
likely is. The low side press ure is much more
important on an ice machin e than is the high
side.
••If gauges must be used , use very sh ort hoses.
Minimal refrige ran t disc harge d into the hoses
equals minimal refrig era nt discharg ed into the
air.
If the refrigeratio n sys te m must be servic ed, th e
quality of service must insure that th ere will not be
a repeat failure, as repeat failu res will cause
refrigeran t to be discharge d int o the air by the
failure or when the failure is corrected:
••If there has been a compre sso r burn out, ch eck
for acid in the oil. If acid is indica te d, extra ste ps
must be taken to clean up the syst em.
••Never use refrigerant, su ch as R-1 1, to clea n
up or flush out a refrige ration system. When
system clean-up is required, the use of suct ion
line filter-dryers and liquid line filter-dryers are
recommended.
•• Always replace the dryer when repairing a leak
or replacing a refrigeration component.
••Evacuat e the system with a good vacuum
pump to 300 microns or less . If the triple
evacuation method is used, the vacuum should
be broken each time with dry nitrogen, not
refrigera nt. Evacu at ion must be from both side s
of the system.
••Weigh in or measure in the namepla te charge.
Recharge into the high side.
If an ice machine is to be discard ed and stil l
contain s refrig era nt , Sc otsman recommends that
the refrigeran t be reco vere d, recla imed , or
recycled so that it is not discharged into the air.

R-404A INFORMATION
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.
••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.

LIQUID CHARGING
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 hos e.
5. Zero out the scale.
6. Shut the low side access valve at the ice
machine.
7. Open the discharge manifold valve full open.

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.
