Water Limitations
An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it takes 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.This section is not intended as a complete resource for water questions, but it does offer these general recommendations:
1. Filter the water used to produce ice.That is the water going to the “potable” water connection. Water filters vary greatly in ability and function. Install one that filters out suspended solids to a dimension of 5 microns or smaller.The finer the filter the better, but finer filters will clog sooner than course ones. It may be necessary to add a course filter ahead of the fine filter to prolong filter life.
2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a water test, and recommendations regarding filters and treatment.

FOR THE INSTALLER
Location
After uncrating and inspection, the unit is ready for installation. It is important that the machine be installed in a location where it has enough space above and behind it for service. Air cooled models require a minimum of 6 inches to the left and right of the machine for air circulation.
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 icemaker-dispenser.Place the cabinet onto the machine stand, so that the unit is lined up with the holes.Secure the ice maker-dispenser to the machine stand with bolts and washers.
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.
Unpack and install the ice and water spouts. Ice Spout: Slide up and over ice outlet.No
fastener is required to hold it in place. Water Spout: Slide over stainless steel water
discharge tube, locate and match up with notches in the base. Rotate clockwise to move spout into installed position.

Water Inlet
Air Cooled Models: The recommended water
supply is clean, cold water.Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing, connect to the 3/8" male flare at the back of the cabinet. Install a hand valve near the machine to control the water supply.
WaterTreatment: 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: A separate 3/8" O.D. copper line is recommended, with a separate hand valve to control it.It is connected to a 3/8" FPT condenser inlet at the back of the cabinet. The water pressure to all lines must always be above 20 psig, and below 80 psig.

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN
CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
The electrical power to the unit is supplied through 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.Voltagevariation 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.

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).
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 master switch on. The electrical start up sequence is now on automatic; there will be a short (15 second) delay before the machine starts.
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.
TDE550 & TDE650
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.
6. There are no adjustments to make, so replace the panels.
7. Check ice dispensing by holding a container in front of the Touch Free ice sensor (just below the ice delivery spout). Ice should flow from the spout when a container is present, and stop dispensing when the container is removed.
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 by wiping it with a mixture of 1 ounce of household bleach to 2 gallons of water, allow to air dry. 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 - 2 PSIG.
The air cooled discharge pressure will depend upon air and water temperatures, but should be between 240 PSIG and 340 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.
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.

Refer the wiring diagram as needed. The "Power" light on the board glows whenever
there is power to the machine (and the master switch is ON).
If the machine is switched off at the master switch, but is otherwise ready to go, switching the master switch to ON does the following:
••The bin empty and power lights on the circuit
board glow.
••There is a 15 second delay
••If there is enough water in the reservoir, the
circuit board will allow the machine to start up.
Start up consists of:
••The compressor contactor coil receives power
from the circuit board.
••The contactor is energized, connecting power
to the compressor, and the compressor starts.
••The auger motor receives power from the circuit
board and starts.
••As ice goes past the ice level sensors, the bin
empty light will stay on and the machine will continue to run, unless the ice stays between the sensors for more than 15 seconds (bin full). At that point, the bin empty light goes out, and the machine shuts down.
Other reasons for shut down:
••Low water level (as sensed by the thermistor in
the reservoir).
••Excessive auger motor amp draw, measured by
the circuit board.
••If the auger motor amp draw becomes
excessive twice in an hour, the auger motor is shut down and the circuit board must be manually reset. If this condition occurs it means that the drive train is in need of cleaning. maintenance or repair.

Cleaning or Touch Free
Disable Switch
Shut Down consists of:
••The compressor contactor opens
••The compressor stops
••The auger motor is run by the circuit board for 2
more minutes, clearing out ice in the evaporator, and then
••The auger motor no longer receives power from
the circuit board, and the auger motor stops.
After a 6 minute delay, If the ice level sensor is clear (bin empty) for more than 15 seconds, the machine will start up again.
Another purpose of the circuit board is to turn the machine off if there is not enough water in the machine.
••When the water level in the reservoir falls
below the tip of the water level sensor, the machine will "shut down"
••After a 6 minute delay, if the water refills the
reservoir, the machine will start up again.
Separate from the circuit board:
••If the high pressure control (cut out switch)
opens, the compressor will stop immediately (through the contactor ). It must be manually reset.
••The master switch is the manual control for the
complete machine, but it is not a service disconnect.
Ice Vending
••When a user places a container in front of the
Touch Free ice sensor and below the ice delivery chute, the circuit board connects power to the bin drive motor and ice is dispensed for as long as the container is present. If the user does not remove the container, ice will be dispensed for 60 seconds and then stop.
••When a user places a container in front of the
Touch Free water sensor, and below the water spout, the circuit board connects power to the water solenoid valve and water is dispensed. If the user does not remove the container water will be dispensed for 90 seconds and then stop.
Splash panel cleaning:
••A switch, located next to the water spout, may
be pushed to disable the Touch-Free sensors for splash panel cleaning. It automatically resets after 2 minutes, or, if pushed within the 2 minutes, resets the circuit board to enable the Touch Free sensors.

OPERATION: Water
Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to a strainer and then to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve.The water then goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator.
Reservoir overflow, evaporator condensation and water in the sink are all routed to the drain. Water cooled models have a separate water circuit for the cooling water: it enters the fitting at the rear, goes to the water regulating valve, then to the water cooled condenser and down the drain.
There is also an additional water circuit to an electric valve.When the Touch Free system senses a container for water, it closes a circuit to the electric water valve, and water is dispensed.
Note: The correct water level is determined when
the machine is operating. Check the water level
and compare it to the line molded into the side of
the reservoir. The water level should be between
1
⁄8“ above and1⁄4" below the line.
If needed, adjust the water level by bending the
float arm.

OPERATION: Refrigeration
TDE550 & TDE650
Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant is compressed into a high temperature gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the condenser.At the condenser (air or water cooled) the gas is cooled by either air or water and it then condenses into a liquid. This high pressure liquid then goes through the liquid line to the expansion valve.
The thermostatic expansion valve meters liquid refrigerant into the evaporator, the volume of liquid refrigerant depending upon the temperature of the evaporator;warmer evaporators get more refrigerant and colder evaporators get less.
REFRIGERATION
SCHEMATIC
At the evaporator, the refrigerant enters an area of relatively low pressure, where it can easily “boil off” or evaporate.As it evaporates, itabsorbs heat from the evaporator and whatever is in contact with it (such as the water inside it). After the evaporator, the refrigerant, now a low pressure vapor, goes through the suction line back to compressor, where the cycle is repeated.

OPERATION: Ice Vending
Dispensing takes place when the Touch Free sensor’s infrared beam bounces back to the sensor from a container placed directly in front of it.
If the container is in front of the Touch Free sensor on the left side, the ice dispensing vane will rotate and sweep ice over the ice dispensing chute: ice will continue to discharge out this chute as long as the vane is turning. It stops when the dispensing vane stops.
If the container is in front of the Touch Free sensor on the right side, the inlet water valve will open and water will flow into the container.

CLEANING and SANITIZING
A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance.
It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always preferable, and less costly in the long run, to avoid possible down time by keeping it clean; adjusting it as needed; and by replacing worn parts before they can cause failure. The following is a list of recommended maintenance that will help keep the machine running with a minimum of problems.
Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.
Sanitizing of the ice storage bin should be scheduled for a minimum of 4 times a year.
9. As the ice maker begins to use water from the
Electrical power will be ON when doing in place cleaning.
ICEMAKING SYSTEM: In place cleaning
1. Check and clean any water treatment devices, if any are installed.
2. Remove screws and remove the upper front panel.
3. Move the ON-OFF switch to OFF.
4. Remove the cover to the ice storage bin, and remove the ice.
5. Remove the cover to the water reservoir and block the float up.
6. Drain the water reservoir and freezer assembly using the drain tube attached to the freezer water inlet. Return the drain tube to its normal upright position and replace the end cap.
7. Prepare the cleaning solution: Mix eight ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner with three quarts of hot water.The water should be between 90-115 degrees F.
Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner contains acids.
These compounds 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.K eep out of the reach of children.

REFRIGERATION SERVICE: R-404A (HP62)
THIS ICE MACHINE USES HP62 REFRIGERANT AND POLYOLESTER COMPRESSOR OIL.
Pressure-Temperature Chart for HP62
DO NOT USE MINERAL OIL IN THIS REFRIGERATION SYSTEM.
R-404A is a “Near Azeotrope”, and therefore
liquid charging is required.
Weigh into the discharge side as much as possible of the charge as liquid refrigerant.
Install a sight glass between the manifold and the suction side hose. Carefully meter liquid refrigerant into the suction side, using the manifold valve to “flash off” the liquid before it enters the ice machine.Do this until the proper charge has been weighed into the system.
When the system is serviced, a special liquid
line dryer is required.
Polyolester oil absorbs water very easily, and
therefore when the system is opened for service, it must be re-sealed as soon as possible (15 minutes maximum).
Special leak detection equipment is required
to locate small refrigerant leaks. Usually a leak detector capable of detecting a Halogenated refrigerant or HFC-134A will work. Check with the leak detector manufacturer if in doubt.
As with any other refrigerant, do NOT mix
HP62 with pressurized air when leak testing.

REFRIGERATION SERVICE
TDE550 & TDE650
General Information:
Work on the refrigeration system should only be done when it is certain that the system needs repair.
Refrain from checking refrigeration
pressures without reason. Visual inspection of the water system, observation of the ice formation, amp draw, voltage, and other techniques will lead to proper diagnosis. Scotsman also recommends that, at the time of initial start up, gauges not be used.
If gauges must be used, don’t always check
the high side pressure. If the condenser is clean and seems to be operating correctly, it most likely is. The low side pressure is more important on an ice machine than the high side.
If gauges must be used, use very short hoses
to minimize refrigerant discharged into the air.
Refrigerant should not be added except as a
way to determine the proper operation of the product. If the system was low on refrigerant, there is a leak, and it must be found and repaired.
This system has a critical charge, it must be
recharged with the correct amount of refrigerant as listed on the nameplate of the ice machine, or performance will suffer.
Anytime the refrigeration system has been
opened, the dryer should be replaced. Note: Only a HFC type dryer should be used.
When brazing the tubing connections to
components such as the TXV, the component must be protected by heat sink material.
Recover, reclaim or recycle refrigerant.The method chosen is up to the service company. Any
refrigerant placed into a Scotsman ice machine must meet ARI spec 700-88. Reclaim programs are available through most refrigerant wholesalers.
Access Valves: To use the access valves: Remove the cap from the stem, use a 3/16" allen
wrench to check that the valve is CLOSED. The remove the core cap.
Close the valve and replace the caps when the job is finished. The valve must be closed and the caps must be on or the valve will leak.

CIRCUIT BOARD SERVICE
Printed Circuit Board Handling Precautions
Follow these simple precaustions when replacing a Printed Circuit Board
1. Keep the replacement PC Board in the anit-static packaging until it is ready to be installed.
2. Be sure that your hands are clean.
3. Just before touchingthe board, touch the cabinet of the machine to discharge any possible build up of static electricity.
4. Handle the original and replacment boards only by their outer edges.
5. Place the original board in the anti-static package for return (if in warranty).
LIQUID CHARGING
Instructions for R-404A
In preparation for charging, the low side hose should have a sight glass, and/or a restrictor device (such as a "Charge Faster") installed in it for metering liquid into the low side of the system.
1. After a thorough evacuation to at least 200 microns, shut off the manifold valves and switch off the vacuum pump.
2. Place a drum of R-404A onto an electronic scale.
3. Attach the charging hose to the drum.
4. Open the valve on the drum and purge the charging hose.
5. Zero out the scale.
6. Shut the low side access valve at the ice machine.
7. Open the discharge manifold valve full open.
8. Watch the scale, when the correct charge is shown, shut the manifold valve.
Note: If all of the charge will not "go in" the discharge side:
A. Shut the discharge access valve at the ice
machine.
B. Switch the machine on. C. Open the low side access valve at the ice
machine.
D. Open the low side manifold valve and observe the sight glass to be certain that only gas is flowing into the system.
E. When the proper charge is indicated on the scale, shut off the manifold valve(s).
August 1994
9. Shut off the valve on the refrigerant drum.
10. Re-open the manifold valves until all liquid has flowed out of the hoses.
11. Shut the low side access valve on the ice machine.
12. Remove hoses from ice machine and replace all caps.
