Water Quality (ice making circuit)
• Potable
The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine
will have an impact on the time between cleanings
and ultimately on the life of the product. Water can
contain impurities either in suspension or in solution.
Suspended solids can be ltered out. In solution
or dissolved solids cannot be ltered, they must be
diluted or treated. Water lters are recommended
to remove suspended solids. Some lters have
treatment in them for dissolved solids.
Check with a water treatment service for a
recommendation.
RO water. This machine can be supplied with Reverse
Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no
less than 10 microSiemens/cm.
Potential for Airborne Contamination
Installing an ice machine near a source of yeast
or similar material can result in the need for more
frequent sanitation cleanings due to the tendency of
these materials to contaminate the machine.
Most water lters remove chlorine from the water
supply to the machine which contributes to this
situation. Testing has shown that using a lter that
does not remove chlorine, such as the Scotsman
Aqua Patrol, will greatly improve this situation.
Warranty Information
The warranty statement for this product is provided
separately from this manual. Refer to it for applicable
coverage. In general warranty covers defects
in material or workmanship. It does not cover
maintenance, corrections to installations, or situations
when the machine is operated in circumstances that
exceed the limitations printed above.

D Series Air, Water or Remote User Manual
Location:
While the machine will operate satisfactorily within the
listed air and water temperature limits, it will produce
more ice when those temperatures are nearer the
lower limits. Avoid locations that are hot, dusty, greasy
or conned. Air cooled models need plenty of room
air to breathe. Air cooled models must have at least
six inches of space at the back for air discharge;
however, more space will allow better performance.
Airow
Air ows into the front of the cabinet and out the back.
The air lters are on the outside of the front panel and
are easily removed for cleaning.
Bin compatibility
All models have the same footprint: 22 inches wide
by 24 inches deep. Conrm available space when
replacing a prior model.
Bin & adapter list:
• B322S – no adapter needed
• B330P or B530P or B530S – Use KBT27
• B842S – KBT39
• B948S – KBT38 for single unit
• B948S – KBT38-2X for two units side by side
• BH1100, BH1300 and BH1600 upright bins include
ller panels to accommodate a single 22 inch wide
ice machine. No adapter is needed.
Dispenser compatibility
Only nugget ice models may be used with ice
dispensers. Flaked ice is not dispensable.
Airow
Options
Side air ow kits KPFSA223 or KPFSA227 are
available for air cooled models. A lter kit for the
remote condenser is KERCF
Ice is made until it lls the bin enough to block an
infrared light beam inside the base of the machine. A
eld installed kit is available to adjust the maintained
ice level lower. The kit number is KVS.
The standard controller has excellent diagnostic
capabilities and communicates to the user through the
AutoAlert light panel, seen through the front panel.
Field installed kits are available that can log data and
provide additional information when the front panel is
removed. The kit numbers are KSBU and KSB-NU.
See page 21.

freight damage, notify the carrier immediately if any is
found. Retain the carton for the carrier’s inspection.
The machine is not bolted to the skid. If strapped
remove the strap.
Place on Bin or Dispenser
If reusing an existing bin, be sure that the bin is
in good shape and that the gasket tape on the
top is not torn up. Water leaks, not covered by
warranty, could result from a poor sealing surface. If
installing a remote or a remote low side, a new bin
is recommended due to the high cost to the user of
replacing an old bin when a remote system is on top.
Install the correct adapter, following the directions
supplied with that adapter.
Hoist the machine onto the adapter.
Note: The machine is heavy! Use of a mechanical lift
is recommended.

Remote Condenser Location - Limits
Use the following for planning the placement of the
condenser relative to the ice machine
Location Limits - condenser location must not exceed
ANY of the following limits:
• Maximum rise from the ice machine to the
condenser is 35 physical feet
• Maximum drop from the ice machine to the
condenser is 15 physical feet
• Physical line set maximum length is 100 feet.
• Calculated line set length maximum is 150.
Calculation Formula:
• Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = distance in feet)
• Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = distance in feet)
• Horizontal Run = hd x 1 (hd = distance in feet)
• Calculation: Drop(s) + Rise(s) + Horizontal
Congurations that do NOT meet these requirements
must receive prior written authorization from
Scotsman to maintain warranty.
Do NOT:
• Route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises.
• Route a line set that falls, then rises, then falls.
Calculation Example 1:
The condenser is to be located 5 feet below the ice
machine and then 20 feet away horizontally.
5 feet x 6.6 = 33. 33 + 20 = 53. This location would be
acceptable
Calculation Example 2:
The condenser is to be located 35 feet above and
then 100 feet away horizontally. 35 x 1.7 = 59.5.
59.5 +100 = 159.5. 159.5 is greater than the 150
maximum and is NOT acceptable.
• Run = dd+rd+hd = Calculated Line Length
rd Max 35 feet
22.87"
dd Max 15 feet
Operating a machine with an unacceptable
conguration is misuse and will void the warranty.

Note: The openings in the building ceiling or wall,
listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes
recommended for passing the refrigerant lines
through.
2. Have the roong contractor cut a minimum hole
for the refrigerant lines of 2”. Check local codes,
a separate hole may be required for the electrical
power supply to the condenser.
Caution: Do NOT kink the refrigerant tubing while
routing it.
3. Route the refrigerant tubes thru the roof opening.
Follow straight line routing whenever possible.
4. Excess tubing may EITHER be coiled up INSIDE
the building OR cut out prior to connection to the
ice maker and condenser.
If the excess tubing is cut out, after re-brazing the
tubing must be evacuated prior to connection to the
ice maker or condenser.
If the excess tubing is to be coiled, spiral it
horizontally to avoid excess trapping in the lines.
5. Have the roong contractor seal the holes in the
roof per local codes

Coupling Instructions - Remote Only
The couplings on the ends of the pre-charged line
sets are self-sealing when installed properly.
Follow these instructions carefully.
These steps must be performed by an EPA Certied
Type II or higher technician.
Initial Connections
1. Remove the protector caps and plugs. Wipe the
seats and threaded surfaces with a clean cloth to
remove any possible foreign matter.
2. Lubricate the inside of the couplings, especially
the O-rings, with refrigerant oil. Oil packets are
supplied with Scotsman line sets.
3. Position the ttings on the correct connections on
the condenser and ice machine.
Final Connections:
4. Tighten the couplings together by hand until it is
certain that the threads are properly engaged.
6. Continue tightening the swivel nut until it bottoms
out or a very denite increase in resistance is felt
(no threads should be showing).
Critical Step!!!!!
7. Mark a line on the coupling nut and unit panel.
Then tighten the coupling nut an additional one-
quarter turn. The line will show the amount that
the nut turns. Do NOT over tighten.
5. Use two wrenches tighten the coupling until it
bottoms out or a denite increase in resistance is
felt. It is important that ONLY the nut on the pre-
charged tube be turned, or the diaphragms will
be torn out by the piercing knives and they will be
loose in the refrigeration system.
Note: As the couplings are tightened, the diaphragms
in the quick connect couplings will begin to be
pierced. As that happens, there will be some
resistance to tightening the swivel nut.

8. After all connections have been made, and after
the receiver outlet valve has been opened (do not
open yet), check the couplings for leaks.

Water - Remote Models
The water supply for ice making must be cold, potable
water. There is a single 3 8” male are potable water
connection on the back panel.
Backow
The design of the oat valve and reservoir prevents
potable water backow by means of a 1" air gap
between the reservoir's maximum water level and the
oat valve water inlet orice.
Drain
There is one ¾” FPT condensate drain tting at the
back of the cabinet.
Attach Tubing
1. Connect the potable water supply to the potable
water tting, 3 / 8” OD copper tubing or the
equivalent is recommended.
2. Change the cartridge on the existing water lter (if
any present).
Do not Tee ice machine drains into the drain tube
from the ice storage bin or dispenser. Back ups
could contaminate and / or melt the ice in the bin or
dispenser. Be sure to vent the bin drain.
Follow all local and national codes for tubing, traps
and air gaps.
3. Connect the drain tube to
the condensate drain tting.
Use rigid tubing.
4. Vent the drain tubing
between the ice machine
and the building drain.

Maintenance: Sensors
The control that senses bin full and empty is a photoelectric eye, therefore it must be kept clean so it
can “see”. At least twice a year, remove the ice level
sensors from the base of the ice chute, and wipe the
inside clean, as illustrated.
1. Remove front panel.
The ice machine senses water by a probe located
near the water reservoir. At least twice a year, the
probe should be wiped clean of mineral build-up.
Probes
1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Pull photo eye holders forward to release them.
3. Wipe clean as needed. Do not scratch the photoeye portion.
4. Return the eye holders to their normal positions
and return the front panel to its original position.
Note: Eye holders must be mounted properly. They
snap into a centered position and are properly located
when the wires are routed to the back and the left eye
is the one with 2 wires at the connector.
2. Remove front panel.
3. Remove the hose from the water sensor, use a
hose clamp pliers for this.
4. Loosen mounting screw and release the water
sensor from the frame of the unit.

Options
Vari-Smart
Optional adjustable ice level control (KVS). When
this option is present there is an adjustment post and
an additional indicator light to the right of the four
indicator lights mentioned earlier.
The ultrasonic ice level control allows the user to
control the point that the ice machine will stop making
ice before the bin or dispenser is full.
Reasons for this include:
• Seasonal changes in ice used
Use of adjustable ice level control
There are several positions the ice level can be set to,
including Off or Max (knob and label indicators lined
up), where it lls the bin until the standard bin control
shuts the machine off. See the kit’s instructions for
complete details.
• Planning to sanitize the bin
• Faster turnover for fresher ice
• Certain dispenser applications where maximum ice
level is not desired
Rotate the adjustment post to the desired ice level.
The machine will ll up to that level and when it shuts
off the indicator light next to the adjustment post will
be On.
Note: The maximum ll position is when the arrow on
the knob points to the arrow on the label.
Dispenser applications - Nugget ice only:
Set the adjustment knob arrow to the Norm area
between the green arrows. Select either the rst or
second positions as a starting point and adjust as
needed.

What to do before calling for service
Normal Operation:
Ice
The machine will make either aked or nugget ice,
depending upon the model. The ice will be produced
continuously until the bin is full. It is normal for a few
drops of water to occasionally fall with the ice.
Heat
On remote models most heat is exhausted at the
remote condenser, the ice machine should not
generate signicant heat. Water cooled models
also put most of the heat from ice making into the
discharge water. Air cooled models will generate heat,
and it will be discharged into the room.
Noise
The ice machine will make noise when it is in ice
making mode. The compressor and gear reducer will
produce sound. Air cooled models will add fan noise.
Some ice making noise could also occur. These
noises are all normal for this machine.
Check the following:
1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or
building been shut off? If yes, the ice machine will
automatically restart within minutes after water begins
to ow to it.
2. Has power been shut off to the ice machine? If yes,
the ice machine will automatically restart when power
is restored.
3. Has someone shut the power off to the remote
condenser while the ice machine still had power? If
yes, the ice machine may need to be manually reset.
To Manually Reset the machine.
• Open the swtich door
• Push and release the Off button.
• Push and release the On button.
Open Switch Door
Reasons the machine might shut itself off:
• Lack of water.
• Does not make ice
• Auger motor overload
• High discharge pressure.
• Low refrigeration system pressure.
