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.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Wall Mount Kit
CAUTION
It is recommended that the wall mounting installation be done by an experienced contractor. The weight of the machine when in use may exceed 350 pounds. The unit should be mounted on a solid, rigid wall with proper fasteners for that type of wall and of adequate strength to support the weight of the machine when in use.
Clearance between the wall and the icemaker is a maximum of 1 inch. Check utility connections first. The electrical junction box will have to be removed, and the electrical connections made inside the cabinet in compliance with local codes. The plumbing connections may be made through the base, or at either side through the pre-punched holes, using standard plumbing practices.
Interior plumbing lines must be disconnected from the original connections and plugged when routing through the side or base.
1. Remove machine top. Attach bracket “A” to machine using (3) nuts, (3) flat washers, (3) lock washers, and (3) 5/16-18 bolts received with the kit.

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.
Note: Back flow prevention for the potable water supply is provided by the air gap between the float valve orifice and the water reservoir overflow.
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: 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.

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 user does not remove the
·
container, ice will be dispensed for 60 seconds and then stop.
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/Sanitizing should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.
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 Scale Remover with three quarts of hot water. The water should be between 90-115 degrees F.
Scotsman Ice Machine Scale Remover contains acids.
These compounds may cause burns. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of waterormilk.Call Physician immediately. In case of external contact, flush with water. Keep out of the reach of children.
10. After all of the cleaning solution has been
added to the reservoir, and the reservoir is nearly
empty, switch the master switch to OFF.
11. After draining the reservoir, as in step 6, wash
and rinse the water reservoir.
To Sanitize:
Repeat steps 8-11, only use an approved sanitizing
solution in place of the cleaning solution. A
possible sanitizing solution to use could be 1
ounce of household bleach mixed with 2 gallons of
warm (95
12. Remove the block from the float in the water
reservoir.
13. Switch the master switch to ON
14. Continue ice making for at least 15 minutes, to
flush out any cleaning solution. Check ice for acid
taste - continue icemaking until ice tastes sweet.
DO NOT USE any ice produced from the
cleaning solution.
Be sure no ice remains in the bin.
15. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
16. Add warm water to the ice storage bin and
thoroughly wash and rinse all surfaces within the

cartridge, pn A36808-001. Be sure to inject grease
evenly and thoroughly.
5. Check and tighten all bolts and screws.
Note: In some areas, the water supply to the ice
maker will contain a high concentration of
minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and
auger becoming coated with these minerals,
requiring a more frequent removal than twice per
year. If in doubt about the condition of the
evaporator and auger, the auger can be removed
so the parts can be inspected.
