This manual includes the information needed to
uncrate, install, clean, maintain and service this ice
dispenser.
The HD356 has been designed to work with
Scotsman’s CME256, CME506 or CME656. It may
also be used with a CME865 or CME1002. If using
on a prior model, such as CM250 or CME500, an
adapter kit, KBTCD200 must be ordered.

Utility Connections
As ice melts in the dispenser the water must be
drained away. It is critical that a proper drain be
connected to the dispenser. Remember that this is
a gravity drain system - tubing must slope down a
minimum of ¼" per foot of horizontal run.
Follow all applicable codes.
Usually an air gap must be established between
the end of the drain tube and the building’s drain
receptacle.
The dispenser’s drain must be separate from
the drain used by the ice
machine.
• Use only rigid tubing.
• Install a vent at the ice
machine’s reservoir
drain AND the
dispenser’s drain.
Failure to vent the
drains may result in
water backup.
Electrical Power
Supply
Electrical:
There is a junction box on the back of the machine,
connect the power supply to the wires inside the
junction box.
Follow all applicable codes.
Be certain that the ice machine AND dispenser are
grounded.

Initial Start Up & Use
HD356
Final Check List
1. Is the ice machine properly installed?
2. Is the dispenser level?
3. Has the water supply been connected to the ice
machine?
4. Has the proper electrical power been connected
to both the ice machine and the dispenser?
Note: When electrical power is supplied to the
dispenser the rotor will rotate slightly.
5. Have the drain lines been connected and are
they separate from the ice machine?
Initial Start Up
1. Locate key and unlock the sink.
Operational Note: Every 6 hours the rotor will
be activated to agitate the ice. This may result
in some ice in the chute.
How to Use - Push Button
The ice machine will start and run periodically to
maintain the ice in the dispenser’s hopper.
Push the “Ice” button to fill the clear plastic chute
with ice.
Push down on the
chute to release the
ice into a waiting
container.
Allow the chute to
return all the way up
to its at-rest position.
Note: If the chute is
not all the way up, the
unit cannot resupply
the chute with ice.
2. Remove sink.
3. Locate on-off switch, move it to the ON position.
4. Return sink to its
original position.
5. Simulate a vend.
The rotor should move
1/6 of a revolution on
push button machines
and a full revolution on
coin vending
machines.
6. Record the ice machine model
and serial number on the last page
of this manual and on the warranty
registration form.

Sanitation and Maintenance
Schedule:
An ice system represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In order to
receive the best return on that investment, periodic maintenance is required.
It is the user’s responsibility to see that the machine is properly maintained. Maintenance and Cleaning
should be done a minimum of twice per year, and more if the ice machine is operating in a dusty area.
Monthly:
Unlock sink and remove it. Then pull out the removable upper drain chute. Clean out any debris that may
have accumulated in it.
Check the lower drain pan for debris, remove any and pour one quart of an approved sanitizing solution
into the drain pan. Flush with warm water.
Return the upper drain pan and sink to their original positions.
Ice Machine: Follow the instructions in the ice machine service manual.
Dispenser: The only maintenance required is the periodic cleaning of the drain pans, screens and
sanitizing the bin.
Sanitizing
1. Vend all ice out of the machine.
2. Remove the ice machine’s front panel and
switch it to OFF.
Note: This would be a convenient time to clean
and sanitize the ice machine.
3. Disconnect electrical power to the dispenser
and ice machine.
4. Remove the sink and hopper assembly by
unlocking it at the base.
5. Remove two screws at the back connecting the
ice machine to the dispenser.
6. Push the ice machine back 5 ½ “
7. Reach in the hopper and locate the nut holding
the rotor to its drive shaft. Unscrew the nut and
remove the metal parts.
8. Push the rotor back off its drive shaft. Pull the
rotor out of the dispenser.
9. Mix a cleaning solution of 8 ounces of Scotsman
Ice Machine Cleaner and 3 quarts of warm (95oF
o
to 115
10. Scrub the interior of the dispenser’s hopper
and the rotor with the cleaning solution.
F.) potable water.
11. Scrub the metal parts removed in step 7 with
the cleaning solution.
12. Scrub the inside of the ice chute with a clean
cloth and the cleaning solution.
13. Mix two gallons of approved sanitizing solution,
one possible solution is one ounce of household
bleach to two gallons of warm (95
potable water.
14. Thoroughly wash the inside of the dispenser’s
hopper, including the shaft and all sides of the rotor
with the sanitizing solution.
15. Thoroughly wash the inside of the ice chute with
the sanitizing solution.
16. Thoroughly wash the metal parts and the nut
removed in step 6 with the sanitizing solution.
17. Reassemble rotor to shaft, return metal parts to
rotor and secure with nut.
18. Return the ice machine, all panels, covers and
the sink assembly to their original positions.
19. Resecure the ice machine to the dispenser.
20. Reconnect power and switch the ice machine
on.
