GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION

Page 10

All SCOTSMAN ice machines are supplied from the factory completely pre-wired and require only electrical power connections to the wire cord provided at rear of the unit. Make sure that the ice machine is connected to its own circuit and individually fused (see data plate for fuse size). The maximum allowable voltage variation should not exceed -10% and + 10% of the data plate rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning and may be responsible for serious damage to the overload switch and motor windings.

NOTE.

All external wiring should conform to national, state and local standards and regulations.

Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s data plate before connecting the unit.

E. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN

CONNECTIONS

GENERAL

When choosing the water supply for the ice cuber consideration should be given to:

a) Length of run b) Water clarity and purity c) Adequate water supply pressure

Since water is the most important single ingredient in producting ice you cannot emphasize too much the three items listed above. Low water pressure, below 1 bar may cause malfunction of the ice maker unit. Water containing excessive minerals will tend to produce cloudy coloured ice cubes, plus scale build-up on parts of the water system.

WATER SUPPLY Air Cooled Versions

Connect the 3/4" male fitting of the solenoid water inlet valve, using the flexible tube supplied, to the cold water supply line with regular plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve installed in an accessible position between the water supply line and the unit. If water contains a high level of impurities, it is advisable to consider the use an appropriate water filter or conditioner.

Water Cooled Versions

On Water Cooled version the water inlet solenoid valve has two separate outlets one for the condenser and the second for the production of ice.

WATER DRAIN

The recommended drain tube is a plastic or flexible tube with 18 mm (3/4") I.D. which runs to an open trapped and vented drain.

WATER DRAIN - WATER COOLED MODELS

Connect the 3/4" male fitting of the condenser water drain, utilizing a second flexible hose, to the open trapped and vented drain.

NOTE.

The water supply and the water drain must be installed to conform with the local code. In some case a licensed plumber and/ or a plumbing permit is required.

The EC series Ice Cubers can pump out water up to 1.5 m rise

or to 30 m on horizontal length.

F. FINAL CHECK LIST

1. Is the unit in a room where ambient temperatures are within a minimum of 10°C (50°F) even in winter months?

2. Is there at least a 15 cm (6") clearance around the unit for proper air circulation?

3. Is the unit level? (IMPORTANT)

4. Have all the electrical and plumbing connections been made, and is the water supply shut-off valve open?

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

START UP

After having correctly installed the ice maker and completed the plumbing and electrical connections, perform the following “Start-up” procedure.

A. Withdraw the condenser air filter then remove the unit front panel and locate the cleaning switch on the control box.

B. Set the cleaning switch in the cleaning position. This will close the electrical circuit to the water inlet valve and to the hot gas valve

C. Switch ON the power line disconnect switch and push the green button switch. Unit will start up in charging cycle mode. During this cycle the components energized are:

WATER INLET SOLENOID VALVE HOT GAS SOLENOID VALVE

The Water pump and the Fan motor in the air cooled versions, are also in operation.

D. Let unit stay in charging cycle for about three/four minutes till water is coming out from the drain hose, then move the cleaning switch to the operation position.

NOTE.

During the charging cycle, the water inlet solenoid valve is energized. The water flows through the valve to the back side of the evaporator platen and then down to fill up the icemaker sump for the next freezing cycle.

OPERATIONAL CHECKS E. The unit now starts its first freezing cycle

with the following components in operation:

COMPRESSOR WATER PUMP FAN MOTOR in air cooled version

F. Check to see through the ice discharge

opening that the spray system is correctly seated and that the water jets uniformely reach the interior of the inverted cup molds; also make sure that the plastic curtain is hanging freely and there is not excessive water spilling through it.

G. The ice making process takes place thereby, with the water sprayed into the molds that gets gradually refrigerated by the heat exchanged with the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator serpentine.

H. When the evaporator temperature reaches a preset value the evaporator thermostat or cube size control changes its contacts; the freezing cycle ends and starts the defrost or harvest cycle. Freezing time will range between 20 and 22 minutes in a 21°C ambient temperature. Longer time for temperature above, shorter when below. Average complete cycle range is about 23 to 25 minutes.

I. Check, during the first defrost/harvest cycle, that the incoming water flows correctly into the sump in order to re-fill it and the surplus overflows through the overflow drain tube.

J. As soon as the water into the Sealed Water Reservoir reaches the maximum level, the two metal pins close the electrical contact through the water, transmitting a low voltage current to the PC Board.

The PC Board energises the Water Drain Pump for 8 seconds pumping out most of the water contained into the Sealed Water Reservoir.

K. Check the texture of ice cubes just released. Right size must have a small depression (about 5-6 mm) in their crown. If not, wait for the second defrost/harvest cycle before performing any adjustment.

L. If required, the length of the freezing cycle can be modified by turning the knob of the cube size control or evaporator thermostat located in front of the control box until the desired size is achieved. If the ice cubes are shallow and cloudy, it is possible that the ice maker runs short of water during the end of the freezing cycle or, the quality of the supplied water requires the use of an appropriate water filter or conditioner.

M. During the defrost or harvest cycle hold a handful of ice cubes against the bulb of the storage bin thermostat; the icemaker switch OFF in about one-two minutes. Take out the ice from the storage bin thermostat. The ice maker should restart automatically in three-four minutes.

NOTE.

The bin thermostat is factory set at

1°C (35°F) OUT and 4°C (39°F) IN.

N. Re-fit the unit front panel then instruct the owner/user on the general operation of the ice machine and about the cleaning and care it requires.

COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

A. WATER PUMP

The water pump operates continually throughout the freezing cycle. The pump primes the water from the sump to the spray system and through the spray nozzles sprays it into the inverted cup molds to be frozen into crystal clear ice cubes.

B. WATER INLET SOLENOID VALVE -

3/4 MALE FITTING

The water inlet solenoid valve is energized only during the defrost cycle. When energized it allows a metered amount of incoming water to flow over the evaporator cavity to assist the hot gas in defrosting the ice cubes. The water running over the evaporator cavity drops by gravity, through the dribbler holes of the platen, into the sump. On water cooled versions the water inlet solenoid valve has one inlet and two outlets with two separate solenoids energized the first (ice productioon) by the contacts 3-2 of the evaporator thermostat and the second (water cooled condenser) by a specific hi pressure control.

C. HOT GAS SOLENOID VALVE

The hot gas solenoid valve consists basically in two parts: the valve body and the valve coil. Located on the hot gas line, this valve is energized by the contacts 3-2 of the evaporator thermostat during the defrost cycle. During the defrost cycle the hot gas valve coil is activated so to attract the hot gas valve piston in order to give way to the hot gas discharged from compressor to flow directly into the evaporator serpentine to defrost the formed ice cubes.

D. BIN THERMOSTAT

The bin thermostat control body is located in the front of control box behind the front louvered panel. The thermostat sensing tube is located into a bulb holder on the side wall of the ice storage bin where it automatically shuts the icemaker OFF when in contact with the ice and re-starts the icemaker when the ice is removed. Factory settings are 1°C (35°F) OUT and 4°C (39°F) IN.

E. CUBE SIZE CONTROL (EVAPORATOR

THERMOSTAT)

The cube size control (evaporator thermostat) body is located in the front of control box behind the front louvered panel; it’s basically a reverse acting temperature control which closes the contacts 3-2 when its temperature decreases and closes the opposite contacts 3-4 when the temperature rises.

Page 18

The thermostat sensing bulb is located into a plastic tube (bulb holder) secured by two clips directly to the evaporator serpentine. This control determines the length of the freezing cycle and correspondingly the size of the cubes. A lower setting will produce a larger cube (oversize) while a higher setting a smaller cuber (shallow size). When closed on contacts 3-2 it activates the defrost or harvest cycle components. The cube size control is set up in the factory (knob in the black dot position) and doesn't require any adjustment when the ambient temperature remains between 15 and 30°C (60 and 90°F).

F. FAN MOTOR (Air cooled version)

The fan motor is electrically connected in parallel to the water pump and it operates continuously only during the freezing cycle keeping the proper head pressure by circulating air through the condenser fins.

G. COMPRESSOR

The hermetic compressor is the heart of the refrigerant system and it is used to circulate and retrieve the refrigerant throughout the entire system. It compresses the low pressure refrigerant vapor causing its temperature to rise and become high pressure hot vapor (hot gas) which is then released through the discharge valve.

H. WATER SPRAY SYSTEM

Through its nozzles it sprays the water in each individual cup to be frozen into ice.

I. CLEANING SWITCH

Located on the bottom side of the control box is used to energize the water inlet and the hot gas valves so to charge the water into the sump of the machine when neaded.

J. HI PRESSURE CONTROL (Water cooled

version)

Used only on the water cooled versions it operates to keep between 8.5 and 10 bars (120 ÷ 140 psig) the hi-side or discharge pressure of the refrigerant system by energizing the coil of the water inlet solenoid valve that control the cooling water flow to the condenser.

GREEN MASTER SWITCH PUSH BUTTON

Located in the front of the machine it’s used to switch ON and OFF the unit by pushing its green push button. When ON, its green light is ON as well.

L. RED ALARM/RE-SET PUSH BUTTON

Located in the front of the machine (just beside the Master Switch) it works in conjuction with

the Cleaning Remind Board and it’s activated when:

• Consensing temperature is higher then 70°C (air cooled version) - ON steady with machine

in OFF mode

• Condensing temperature is higher then 60°C (water cooled version) - ON steady with

machine in OFF mode

• Condenser sensor out of order - Blinking twice and repeat with machine in OFF mode

• Condenser air filter need to be cleaned - ON steady with machine in ON mode

• Water system need to be cleaned - Slow blinking with machine in ON mode.

On the first two cases it’s possible to Re-Set the operation of the machine pushing and hold the Red Alarm Re-Set Button by 5" till the Red Light is OFF.

On the third case, it’s necessary first to replace the condenser sensor then, push and hold for 5" the Red Re-Set Button.

CLEANING REMIND AND PWD PC BOARD

Located on the front left side of the machine, it works in conjuction with the condenser sensor and the Red Alarm Re-Set Push Button.

It is used to energise the Water Drain Pump any time the level of the water into the Sealed water Reservoir reaches the upper metal pins (low power electrical circuit closed through the water). The water pump is kept energised by the PWD PC Board for 8 seconds.

It consists of a Printed Circuit Board with a step down transformer (230V - 12V), a relay, a Dip Switch with two keys, a Jumper for the set up of the Cut OFF/Alarm condensing temperature (70°C - jumper OUT - for air cooled version and 60°C - jumper IN - for water cooled version), a green four contacts connector for power IN and OUT, a Red socket for the Water Level Sensor, a Black socket for the Condenser Sensor and a White socket for the Red Alarm Re-Set Push Button.

The main function of this PC Board is to switch OFF the machine when the condensing temperature is higher of its setting value or signal out the need for the cleaning of the condenser air filter (air cooled only) or of the water system.

The time between the signal out for the cleaning of the water system can be modified according to the setting of the two Dip Switches as below:

TIME 1 2

1 MONTH ON ON 3 MONTHS OFF ON 6 MONTHS ON OFF

1 YEAR OFF OFF

Once cleaned the water system, it’s necessary to cancel the time stored into the PC Board by pushing and hold for more then 20" the Red Alarm Re-Set Button till it starts to blink. This PC Board is also used to energise the Water Pump to pump out the collected water inside the sealed water tank. In case the water level sensor transmit the signal to the PC Board for more then 5 minutes continuously the PC Board trip OFF the entire machine lighting ON the Red Alarm light that starts to blink fast (0.5" ON - 0.5" OFF).

WARNING: to assure the correct operation of the Water level sensors, the water must have a minimal electrical of 10 µs.

N. SEALED WATER RESERVOIR

Located on the bottom side of the unit, it is used to collect all water coming from the:

• Overflow

• Water Drain Valve

• Storage bin

On its top cover are secured two metal pins (Water Level Sensor) connected to the PWD PC Board.

O. WATER DRAIN PUMP

Placed beside the Sealed Water Reservoir is used to pump out the water contained into the tank. It is energised, by the PWD PC Board, for just few seconds.

P. CHECK VALVE

Placed on the discharge hose of the water pump, it prevents the coming back of the pumped out water.

Q. CONDENSER AIR FILTER

(Air cooled version)

Located in front of the air cooled condenser can be removed by withdrawing it through the opening of the front panel for cleaning or replacing. A lower plastic guide, installed inside the unit, is used for the correct sliding and location of the air filter.

R. CONDENSER SENSOR

The condenser temperature sensor probe, located within the condenser fins (air cooled version) or in contact with the tube coil (water cooled version) detects the condenser temperature variations and signals them by supplying current, at low voltage, to the P.C. BOARD. In case the condenser temperature rises and reaches 70°C (160°F) - on air cooled models - or 60°C (140°F) - on water cooled models - the current arriving to the micro processor is such to cause an immediate and total stop of the machine operation.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

A. GENERAL

The periods and the procedures for maintenance and cleaning are given as guides and are not to be construed as absolute or invariable. Cleaning, especially, will vary depending upon local water and ambient conditions and the ice volume produced; and, each icemaker must be maintened individually, in accordance with its particular location requirements.

B. ICEMAKER

The following maintenance should be scheduled at least two times per year on these icemakers.

1. Check and clean the water line strainer.

2. Check that the icemaker is levelled in side to side and in front to rear directions.

3. Check for water leaks and tighten drain line connections. Pour water down bin drain line to be sure that drain line is open and clear.

4. Check size, condition and texture of ice cubes. Perform adjustment of cube size control as required.

5. Check the bin thermostat to test shut-off. Put a showelfull of ice cubes in contact with the bin thermostat bulb for at least one minute. This should cause the ice maker to shut off.

Within few seconds after the removal of the ahowelfull of ice from bin thermostat bulb, the icemaker restarts.

NOTE. Within minutes after the ice is removed from the bulb holder tube, the sensing bulb inside the tube will warm up and cause the icemaker to restart. This control is factory set and should not be reset until testing is performed.

6. Check for refrigerant leaks.

NOTE. The new EC series, in the air cooled version, are standard equipped with an air condenser filter as well as a Cleaning Reminder Board to remind to the end user the need for the cleaning of the air filter or of the water system (Red Alarm Light ON Steady or Blinking rispectively with machine in operation).

C. CLEAN - REPLACE OF AIR

CONDENSER FILTER

1. Withdraw the air filter from the front through the opening of the front panel.

2. Blow pressurised air on the opposite direction of the condenser air flow so to remove the dust accumulated.

3. If pressurised air is not available, use tap water always in the counter flow air diretcion. Once cleaned shake it so to remove most of the accumulated water, then dry it using an hair dryer.

NOTE. In case the air filter strainer is damaged replace it with a new one.

4. Install it again by pushing it through the front panel opening.

D. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS OF

WATER SYSTEM

1. Remove the front and top panels to gain

access either to the control box and to the evaporator.

2. Make sure that all ice cubes have been

released from their cups, then switch OFF the machine at front master button switch.

3. Scoop out all the ice cubes stored into the

bin in order to prevent them from being contaminated with the cleaning solution.

Page 27

Page 25

7. Using a bottle, poor fresh water into the bottom of the sump/freezing chamber to clean out most of scale deposit.

8. Install again the spray platen, the curtain as well as the bottom plastic cup.

9. Prepare the cleaning solution by diluting in a plastic container two liters of warm water (45°50°C) with 0,2 liters of Ice Machine Cleaner.

WARNING. The SCOTSMAN Ice Machine Cleaner contains Phosphoric and Hydroxyacetic acids. These compounds are corrosive and may cause burns if swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk. Call Physician immediately. In case of external contact flush with water. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

10. Remove the evaporator cover then slowly pour onto the evaporator platen the cleaning solution. With the help of a brush dissolve the most resistant and remote scale deposits in the platen.

11. Switch ON again the machine at front master button switch to start the icemaking process. Allow the ice maker to operate for about 20 minutes. Then turn the cleaning switch to the "cleaning" position (II) till the release of the ice cubes from their cups.

NOTE.

The amount of Cleaner and the time needed for the cleaning of water system depends of the water conditions.

12. Switch OFF the ice maker at master button switch then flush out the cleaning solution from the sump reservoir by taking off the sump plastic cup. Once flushed out install again the sump plastic cup.

13. Pour onto the evaporator cavity two or three liters of clean potable water to rinse the mold cups and the platen.

14. Switch ON again the machine. The water pump is again in operation to circulate the water in order to rinse the entire water system.

4. Remove the plastic cup located on the bottom of sump/freezing chamber to drain out all water and scale deposits.

5. Unloose the two thumb scews and remove the curtain.

6. Lift up the entire spray platen from its bottom seat and take it out to clean it separately.

Page 26

Do the operation as per steps 12 and 13 twice so to be sure no more traces of descaling solution remains into the sump.

15. With machine in OFF mode pour on the upper side of the evaporator platen fresh water with a capfull of sanitizing solution then turn again the machine in normal operating mode so to sanitize all the water system for approx. 10 minutes.

NOTE.

Do not mix descaling with sanitizing solution to avoid the generation of a very aggressive acid.

16. Switch OFF the machine and flush out the sanitizing solution from the sump reservoir then with the switch in "cleaning" position (II), switch it ON again. When water starts overflowing through the drain line, set the switch to "operation" (I) position. The unit is now ready to resume normal operation.

17. Place again the evaporator cover and the unit service panels.

18. At completion of the freezing and harvest cycle make sure of proper texture and clearness of the ice cubes and that, they do not have any acid taste.

ATTENTION. In case the ice cubes are cloudy-white and have an acid taste, melt them immediately by pouring on them some warm water. This to prevent that somebody could use them.

19. Wipe clean and rinse the inner surfaces of the storage bin.

REMEMBER.

To prevent the accumulation of undesirable bacteria it is necessary to sanitize every week the interior of the storage bin.
