Installation and User’s Manual

This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in

a controlled environment. It can be used in a wide

variety of environmental conditions, but there are
limits. Use outside of the listed limitations is misuse

and will void the warranty.

Air temperature limits:

The ice machine will operate adequately within the
limits, but functions best in temperatures between

70 and 80 degrees F.

• Minimum – 50 degrees F. (10°C)

• Maximum – 100 degrees F. (38°C)

Water temperature limits:

• Minimum – 40 degrees F. (4.5°C)

• Maximum – 100 degrees F. (38°C)

Water pressure limits:

• Minimum – 20 psi (1.4 bar)

• Maximum – 80 psi (5.5 bar)

Because the ice machine is making a food product,
the water supply to the ice machine must be
potable, or t for human consumption.

Options:

Door Panels: Finished door panels are available
from Scotsman for attachment to the machine, or a

custom panel can be made. The panel kits are:

Kit Number Panel Finish Handle Finish
KDFW White White
KDFWS White Stainless Steel
KDFB Black Black
KDFBS Black Stainless Steel
KDFS Stainless Steel Stainless Steel

Kickplate Extension: In some situations the leg
levelers will be extended enough to become visible.
A kit to extend the kickplate over the legs is KKPF.

Cabinet Stability: In some free standing

installations it may be prudent to add a bracket that
secures the back of the cabinet to a wall. That kit

number is KATB.

Drain Conversion: A gravity drain model can be
converted to a drain pump model by installing a

drain pump kit. The drain pump kit consists of a
drain pump, wiring harness and associated tubing.

The part number is A39462-021.

Electrical voltage limits:

• Minimum – 104 volts

• Maximum – 126 volts

Models:

There are six models, all air cooled:

• SCCP50M-1WU – Pump model, white cabinet

• SCCG50M-1WU – Gravity drain model, white cabinet

• SCCP50M-1BU – Pump model, black cabinet

• SCCG50M-1BU – Gravity drain model, black cabinet

• SCCP50M-1SU – Pump model, stainless cabinet

• SCCG50M-1SU – Gravity drain model, stainless cabinet

Warranty Information

Warranty information is supplied separately from
this manual. Refer to it for coverage. In general,

the warranty covers defects in materials or
workmanship and does not cover corrections of

installation errors or maintenance.

Air ow

The machine takes in room temperature air at the
lower right front and forces warm air out the lower
left front. Restricting the airow will adversely affect
the ability of the ice machine to make ice.

Clearance requirements: 0 inches at the top,
2 inches at the rear and an 1/8 inch at each side.

Warm Air Out

Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and

manufactured with the highest regard for safety

and performance. They meet or exceed the

standards of agencies like U.L.

Scotsman assumes no liability or responsibility of

any kind for products manufactured by Scotsman
that have been altered in any way, including the
use of any parts and/or other components not
specically approved by Scotsman.

Scotsman reserves the right to make design
changes and/or improvements at any time.

Specications and designs are subject to change
without notice.

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 ows through the ground. Some of
the impurities are solid particles, these are known
as suspended solids, and a ne particle lter will

remove them. Other impurities are chemically

bonded to the water molecules, and cannot be
ltered 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 rst 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-lling the
reservoir during the harvest cycle (with the excess
water owing down the drain). Between 2 and
4 pints of water ow 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 lter the
water. A water lter, 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.
