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 filtered out. In
solution or dissolved solids cannot be filtered, they
must be diluted or treated. Water filters are
recommended to remove suspended solids. Some
filters have treatment in them for suspended 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.
Water pressure limit to water cooled condenser is

Most water filters remove chlorine from the water
supply to the machine which contributes to this
situation. Testing has shown that using a filter 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

Air, Water or Remote Service Manual
Location:
While the machine will operate satisfactorily within
the 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 confined. Air cooled models need plenty
of room air to breathe. Air cooled models must
have at least six inches of space on the left side for
air intake; however, more space will allow better
performance.
Airflow
Air flows into the front of the cabinet and out the
back. The air filters are on the outside of the front
panel and are easily removed for cleaning.
All models are the same width: 22 inches. All
models are the same depth: 24 inches.

Refrigeration - Remote Condenser Models
Remote condenser models have additional
installation needs.
The correct remote condenser fan and coil must be
connected to the ice making head. Liquid and
discharge tubing connections are on the back of
the ice machine cabinet. Pre-charged tubing kits
are available in several lengths to accommodate
most installations. Order the one that just exceeds
the length needed for the installation.
Note: A headmaster is required for all remote
condenser systems. Prior condensers did not have
a headmaster. New head / old condenser retrofits
can use headmaster kit KPFHM. See chart below
for applications.

Locate the condenser as near as possible to the
interior location of the ice machine.
Keep condenser at least 2 feet from a wall or other
rooftop equipment.
Note: The location of the condenser is relative to

the prior page.
Roof penetration. In many cases a roofing
contractor will need to make and seal the hole in
the roof for the line sets. The suggested hole
diameter is 2 inches.
Meet all applicable building codes.
Roof Attachment
Install and attach the remote condenser to the roof
of the building, using the methods and practices of
construction that conform to the
local building codes, including
having a roofing contractor secure
the condenser to the roof.
Do not connect the precharged tubing until all
routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See
the Coupling Instructions for final connections.
1. Each set of pre-charged tubing lines contains a
3/8” diameter liquid line, and a 1/2” diameter
discharge line. Both ends of each line have quick
connect couplings, the end without access valves
goes to the ice maker.
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 roofing 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.
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 roofing contractor seal the holes in the
roof per local codes

Coupling Instructions
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
Certified 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 fittings on the correct connections
on the condenser and ice machine.

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.
4c. Continue tightening the swivel nut until it
bottoms out or a very definite increase in
resistance is felt (no threads should be showing).
Critical Step!
5. Use a marker or pen to 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.
4b. Then using two wrenches tighten the coupling
until it bottoms out or a definite 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
