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.
General recommendations
Electrical Junction

Operating the machine outside of the above
limitations, or outdoors, is potentially damaging to
the machine; also it is misuse of the machine
which may void the warranty.
Service Limitations
Do not install in a location where the top of the
machine is within 6" of a fixed ceiling. Air cooled
models require a minimum of 6 inches to the left
and right of the machine for air circulation. It is
important that the machine be installed in a
location where it has enough space above and
behind it for service.
After uncrating and inspection, the unit is ready for
installation.
Machine Stand Installation
Tip the stand on its back and install the legs, return
the stand to the upright position. Adjust leg levelers
so that the stand does not “rock”.
Counter Top or Machine Stand Installation
The base of the icemaker-dispenser must be
sealed to the object it rests upon. Food grade
silastic sealant such as Scotsman part number
19-0529-01 is recommended.
Place a bead of the sealant on the machine stand
or counter top to match the outside edge of the
cabinet base and sink.
The icemaker-dispenser is heavy: use of a
mechanical hoist is recommended to lift it to the
height required to install it.
The DMS machine stand has holes in the top that
match up with threaded holes in the base of the
machine. Secure the machine stand to the base
with 4 5/16" bolts.
In both counter top and machine stand
installations, wipe off and neatly smooth any
excess sealant. Level the machine stand and
cabinet.
Unpack and install the sink brackets. Fit the sink
assembly onto the two sink brackets, and press
onto the bead of sealant. Wipe off and neatly
smooth any excess sealant from under the sink
edge. Connect the sink drain to the dispenser drain
system.

CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
Water Inlet
Air Cooled Models: Connect a clean, potable
and cold water supply to the
back of the cabinet. Install a hand valve near the
machine to control the water supply. Use
copper tubing.
Water Treatment: In most areas, a water filter of
some type will be useful. In areas where the water
is highly concentrated with minerals the water
should be tested by a water treatment specialist,
and the recommendations of the specialist
regarding filtration and/or treatment should be
followed.
Water Cooled Models: Connect a separate
O.D. copper line, with a separate hand valve to
3
control it, to the
” FPT condenser inlet at the
8
back of the cabinet. The water pressure to all lines
must always be above 20 psig, and below 120
psig.

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN
CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
Connect the electrical power supply for the unit to
the wires in the junction box at the rear of the
machine.
Check the nameplate (located on the back panel)
for the voltage requirements, and for the minimum
circuit ampacity. The machine requires a solid
chassis to earth ground wire.
The ice maker should be connected to its own
electrical circuit so it would be individually fused.
Voltage variation must remain within design
limitations, even under starting conditions.
All external wiring must conform to national,
state, and local electrical codes. The use of a
licensed electrician is required to
perform the electrical installation.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Final Check List
1. Is the icemaker-dispenser installed
indoors, in a location where the air and
water temperatures are controlled, and
where they do not go beyond design
limitations?
2. is there an electrical service
disconnect within sight of the installed
machine? Is the machine on a separate
circuit? Has the voltage been checked
and compared to nameplate
requirements?
3. Have all of the plumbing connections
been made and checked for leaks?
4. Has the machine been leveled?
5. Is there a minimum of 6 inches of
clearance at the left and right sides of an
air cooled machine?
ELECTRICAL?
LEVELED?
6. Is there a minimum of 6 inches of
clearance at the top and back of the
machine for service and utility
connections?
7. Is there a water shut off valve installed

INITIAL START UP
Pre Start Inspection
1. Remove the two front panels.
2. Check that all shipping blocks have been
removed.
3. Remove any and all packing tape (check inside
the storage bin).
4. Inspect the interior of the machine for loose
screws or wires. Check that no refrigerant lines are
rubbing each other. Check that the fan blade on air
cooled models turns freely.
5. Check that the machine is installed correctly
according to the final check list.
Start Up
1. Go through the pre start inspection.
2. Open the water hand valve, observe that water
enters the water reservoir, fills the tube from the
reservoir to the evaporator and then shuts off.
Check for leaks.
3. Switch the mode switch to ON. The auger drive
motor and compressor start, beginning the ice
making process.
4. On air cooled models, warm air will begin to flow
from the condenser. Water cooled models will
begin to discharge warm water down the drain.
NDE754
7. Check ice dispensing by pushing in on the glass
filler lever. Ice dispenses are portion controlled; by
turning a knob, the length of time the unit
dispenses when the glass filler lever is pushed
(and the amount of ice dispensed) is adjusted.
8. Switch off the icemaker-dispenser, remove the
top panel and the top of the ice storage bin.
Sanitize the interior of the ice storage bin with a
locally approved sanitizer. A possible sanitizer is a
mixture of 1 ounce of household bleach to 2
gallons of water. Wash the interior of the bin with
the sanitizing solution. Replace all covers and
panels. Switch the icemaker-dispenser back on.
5. The unit should soon be making ice. If desired,
the low side pressure may be checked: it should be
38 PSIG + or - 4 PSIG.
The air cooled discharge pressure will depend
upon air and water temperatures, but should be
between 200 PSIG and 300 PSIG.
Water cooled discharge pressure should be about
245 PSIG. If needed, adjust the water regulating
valve.
The above numbers are for new, clean machines.
Field values may be somewhat higher or lower.
6. There are no adjustments to make, so replace
the panels.
March 2000
9. Give the owner/user the service manual, instruct
him/her in the operation and maintenance
requirements of the unit. Make sure they know who
to call for service.
10. Fill out the Customer Evaluation and warranty
Registration form, and mail it in to Scotsman.

Low Pressure Cut Out Switch: An automatic
reset control that shuts off the ice machine when
the low side pressure drops below a preset point,
15 psig.
Ice Level Sensor: An electronic “eye”, it senses
the presence of ice in the bottom of the ice
discharge chute. Operates to turn the ice machine
on and off automatically as the level of ice in the
bin changes.
Drain Tube: When uncapped and lowered, drains
the evaporator.
Condenser: Air or water cooled, where the heat
removed in ice making is discharged.
Ice Storage Bin Assembly: A plastic lined,
insulated cylinder that receives, stores and
dispenses the ice. Fresh ice enters at the top, and
when the bin is full enough the ice will be between
the ice level sensors, and the icemaking will stop.
Ice is dispensed through a chute at the bottom
front when the agitator assembly sweeps the ice
through the chute.
Glass Filler Lever: Pushing in on this lever
causes the ice dispensing cycle to occur.
