Water Quality
All water, including potable water supplied by municipalities, contains some impurities or minerals. Water absorbs impurities from the air as rain and/or as it flows through the ground. Some of the impurities are solid particles, these are known as suspended solids, and a fine particle filter will remove them. Other impurities are chemically bonded to the water molecules, and cannot be filtered out, these are called dissolved solids.
Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral content than the water it was made from. This is due to the method of making ice. Purer water will freeze first in the ice making molds. The reason for this is that anything dissolved in water lowers the water’s freezing temperature. This concentrates most of the impurities in the ice machine water reservoir where they may form hard deposits known as scale. The machine dilutes the concentration of minerals by over-filling the reservoir during the harvest cycle (with the excess water flowing down the drain). s. Between 2 and 4 pints of water flow into the unit each cycle. Between 1 and 3.5 pints of that rinses the reservoir and goes down the drain.
Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick to the parts in the machine, and will cause malformed ice cubes. Eventually, built up mineral
scale can shorten machine life.
To keep the machine operating properly, these impurities or minerals will have to be regularly dissolved by an acid cleaning, using Scotsman Ice Machine Scale Remover. Directions for this may be found in the section under cleaning.
Filters and Treatment
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some methods of water treatment for dissolved solids include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate feeders.
RO Water
This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no less than 10 microSiemens/cm. A reverse
osmosis system should include post treatment to satisfy the R.O. water’s potential aggressiveness. Deionized water is not recommended.
Because water softeners exchange one mineral for another, softened water may not improve water conditions when used with ice machines. Where water is very hard, softened water could result in white, mushy cubes that stick together.
If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of use water specialist for recommendations on water treatment.
Installation Overview
The ice machine must:
be connected to cold, potable water
be connected to a drain
be connected to the proper power supply
be able circulate air through the vents at the front.
Note: Do not build in so that the door is recessed.

Electrical
The ice machine is supplied with a power cord. Do not remove the grounding pin from the cord’s plug. Do not use extension cords. Follow all codes. Connect the machine to its own 115 volt, 15 amp circuit.
1. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the unit, plug in the unit.
2. Position the unit in the installation opening.
3. Turn on the water supply. Make sure that the ice maker is plugged in and the power is on.
4. Slide unit into installation opening, paying careful attention to water supply and drain connections. Do not kink!
5. Pour a couple of quarts of water into the ice storage bin; on drain pump equipped machines the drain pump should start and water should pump out. Check for leaks.
6. Replace the service access panel.
7. Level the unit as needed.
Installation check list:
1. Has the unit been connected to the proper water supply?
2. Has the water supply been checked for leaks?
3. Has the unit been connected to a drain?
4. Has the drain been tested for flow and leaks?
5. Has the unit been connected to the proper electrical supply?
6. Has the unit been leveled?
7. Have all packing materials been removed from the machine?
8. Has the door covering been installed?
Initial Start Up
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Switch on the electrical power.
3. Push and release the On/Off switch to start the machine. The Ice Making light next to the On/Off switch will glow Green.
Water will begin to flow into the unit. When the
4. reservoir is full, water will start to drain from the
machine. After a few minutes the compressor, water pump and fan motor will begin to operate and the first ice making cycle will have begun.
No adjustments are needed.
After about a half hour, ice will fall into the ice storage bin. The machine makes 24 cubes per batch. It is normal for the first batches of ice to melt, that continues until the bin has cooled. It will take 8 to 10 hours of continuous run time to fill the ice bin. When the bin is full of ice, the ice machine will shut off. It will automatically restart when the ice level falls, either from use or normal meltage.
July 2008
Page 11
Use
No special instructions are needed for use. Just take as much ice as you need, the machine will replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can be stored in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right side as a holder. That tubing is also the ice level sensor; ice will fill the storage bin until it's near to or on that tube and then the machine will shut off.
The machine can be shut off anytime by just pushing and releasing the On/Off button. The machine will shut off at the end of the next cycle. To shut off immediately, push and hold the On/Off button in until the machine stops.
What shouldn’t be done?
SCCG50 & SCCP50
Installation and User's Manual
Normal cubes are tapered cylinders. If the cubes
are ragged and mis-shaped, mineral scale must be
removed from the ice making system
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice. Objects like wine or beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels can slip off and plug up the drain.
Never allow the machine to operate without regular cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least once per year, and preferably twice. Some water conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning of the ice making section, and some carpets or pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the condenser.
Note: The Time to Clean light will switch ON after 6 months of use. It will remain ON until the ice making system is cleaned using the process on page 13.
Noise:
The ice machine is designed for quiet operation, but will make some noise during the ice making cycle. During a freezing cycle, it is normal to hear the fan moving air and the water pump circulating water. Ice hitting the bin or ice in the bin can be heard during harvest.
If ice making noise is objectionable, an appliance grade timer can be added to the power supply. Set the timer to turn the machine off at the time(s) of day when the noise is most objectionable.
Maintenance
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The outside cabinet & door.
2. The ice storage bin.
3. The condenser.
4. The ice making system.
5. The ice scoop.
How to clean the cabinet.
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and handle as they occur. If anything spilled on the door or gasket dries onto the surface, wash with soap and warm water to remove.
How to clean the ice storage bin.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the bin after the ice making system has been cleaned, and the storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 ounce of household bleach and two gallons of hot (95
o
115
F.) water. Use a clean cloth and wipe the
o
F. –
interior of the ice storage bin with the sanitizing solution, pour some of the solution down the drain.
Allow to air dry.
