SPECIFICATIONS
Before beginning installation, be sure that all of the
components necessary for complete assembly of
the ice system are available, and are the correct
components with regard to model, voltage, and
finish.
Astacking kit (KSCMS) is required for stacking
CME1002 or CME865 ice machines. It
interconnects the sonar bin ice level controls. A
CME865 or CME1002 may only be stacked onto
models CME865, CME1002, MCM1062 or
CMS1002.
The CME865 or CME1002 will fit any current 30"
wide Scotsman bin, such as the BH550 or
HTB555, without needing a bin top. Other bins will
require a bin top.
Note: The sonar transducer, located in the base of
the machine, must NOT be covered by installation
material (such as a non-Scotsman bin top). The
transducer must have clear access to the ice to be
able to sense the ice level.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Environmental Limitations
Installation Limitations
The ice making portion of this ice system is
designed to be installed indoors, in a controlled
environment. Minimum Maximum
Air Temp 500F. 1000F.
Water Temp 400F. 1000F.
Water Pressure 20 PSI 80 PSI
Voltage 197 253
Operating the ice 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.
Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and
manufactured with the highest regard for safety
and performance. They meet or exceed the
standards of UL, NSF, and CSA.
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 part and/or other components not
specifically approved by Scotsman.
Scotsman reserves the right to make design
changes and/or improvements at any time.
Specifications and design are subject to change
without notice.
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. These general recommendations
should help keep the ice maker clean:
1. Filter the water used to produce ice. 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.
When servicing a machine, it’s helpful to compare
that unit’s operating characteristics to those of a
new, clean, normally operating machine. What
follows is that type of information:

FOR THE INSTALLER: Machine & Bin Assembly
Overview:
This ice system is comprised of 2 major
assemblies:
1. The ice storage bin.
2. The ice maker itself.
Storage Bin:
After uncrating the ice storage bin, attach the legs
to the bin:
1. Use a portion of the carton as a cushion, and tip
the storage bin on its back.
2. Screw the legs into the threaded holes in the
bottom of the bin.
3. Turn the leg levelers all the way in to prepare
the bin and ice machine for leveling.
4. Return the bin to the upright position.
Ice Maker:
1. Arrange for proper electric, water and drain.
See instructions for the plumber and for the
electrician.
2. Position the ice storage bin in the selected
INDOOR location.
3. Level the bin, in both the front to rear and side
to side directions.
4. Inspect the bin top mounting gasket which
should be flat, with no wrinkles, to provide a good
water seal when the cuber is installed on top of
the bin.
5. Install the modular cuber on top of the bin using
care to be sure a good seal is made between the
two cabinets, use of a mechanical lift is
recommended. Align the holes in the bottom back
of the cabinet to mate with the two mounting straps
on the top rear of the bin.
6. Use bolts and straps found in the hardware
package to secure the ice machine to the ice
storage bin. When alignment and leveling are
completed, tighten the bolts to secure the
mounting straps.

FOR THE PLUMBER
Water Supply
The recommended water supply line is a 3/8-inch
O.D. tubing with a minimum operating pressure of
20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG.
Aseparate water inlet is required for the
condenser water supply.
Connect to cold water supply line with standard
plumbing fittings, with shut off valve installed in an
accessible place between the water supply and
the cuber. In some cases a plumber will be
required.
CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES
Drain Connections:
Connections: All drains are gravity type and must
have a minimum of 1/4 - inch fall per foot of
horizontal run. The drains to be installed must
conform with the local plumbing codes. Install a
vertical open vent on the ice machine reservoir
drain. The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and
vented floor drain. The storage bin drain should be
insulated.
Water Cooled Connection: Aseparate cold water
supply is required, connect to the 3/8-inch FPT
fitting at the back of the cabinet. An additional
drain line is required to drain the water cooled
condenser, and must not interconnect to any of the
other drains.

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN: Electrical Connections
See the NAMEPLATE for current requirements to
determine wire size to be used for electrical
hookup. The cuber requires a solid chassis to
chassis earth ground wire. See Wiring Diagram.
Be certain the cuber is connected to its own
electrical circuit and individually fused. Voltage
variation should not exceed ten percent of the
nameplate rating, even under starting conditions.
Low voltages can cause erratic operation and may
be responsible for serious damage to the
icemaker.
Electrical connections are made at the rear of the
icemaker, inside the junction box.
All external wiring should conform to the
national, state and local electrical code
requirements. Usually an electrical permit and
services of a licensed electrician will be
required.

4. Is the cabinet level?
5. Check that any shipping material has been
removed from inside the cabinet.
6. Have all electrical and piping connections been
PROPERLY made?
7. Are the Master and Compressor switches on
OFF?
8. Has power been connected to the ice maker?
9. Is the water supply line shut off valve installed?
10. Check all refrigerant lines and conduit lines, to
guard against vibration or rubbing and possible
failure.
11. Have the bin and cabinet been wiped clean
and sanitized?
12. Has the Customer Evaluation & Warranty
Registration form been properly filled out? Check
for correct model and serial numbers from Serial
nameplate, then mail the completed form to

INITIAL START UP
Ice Maker:
1. Remove front panel.
2. Remove two screws and the control box cover.
3. Remove the evaporator cover.
4. Remove the left side service panel.
5. Check that the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch
and the Compressor ON-OFF toggle switch are in
the OFF position, on the control box.
6. OPEN the water supply line shut off valve.
7. Inside the control box is the shaft of the timer
and the switch assembly. Rotate the shaft of the
timer and switch assembly clockwise to where the
actuator arm on the microswitch drops off outer
cam into cam slot. See Timer Cam Positions.
8. Move the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch to the
ON position.
9. Observe water fill cycle: The water pump will be
operating and the water inlet solenoid valve will
OPEN. Incoming water flows from the valve
through the tubing, the reservoir fills and excess
water drains out the machine drain. At the end of
the harvest cycle the water inlet solenoid valve will
close and the water fill cycle is complete. If the
reservoir is not full, turn the shaft of the timer
clockwise into a new harvest cycle; this opens the
water valve again.
The water pump forces water from the reservoir up
to the water distributor at the top of each
evaporator plate, where water is dispensed,
cascades down both sides of the evaporator plate
and drains back into the reservoir for recirculation.
10. Check that the water cascades down over the
cube molds and into the reservoir. Note: Some
spray is normal on new machines.
11. When the reservoir is full, move the
compressor ON-OFF switch to the ON position.
12. Check operation of the freezing cycle: Very
shortly ice begins to form in the cube cells, and
tubing becomes frosted at the top of the
evaporator plate. Freezing time will be longer than
average for the first cycle.. Average complete
cycle time is about 14 - 16 minutes.
13. Warm water should begin to flow from the
condenser drain.
Note: To optimize the balance between ice
production and water use, the water cooled
discharge pressure must be 245 P.S.I.G. Check
the discharge pressure and adjust the water
regulating valve to obtain 245 P.S.I.G. pressure.
14. Check CUBE SIZE
The dimensions of the cubes are fixed by the size
and shape of the molds on the evaporator plate,
except that the thickness of the cube MAY need to
be adjusted at start up. There is only one size of
cube that is correct; adjusting the cube size control
to that size of cube will allow the ice maker to
produce ice at its most efficient size. The correct
size cubes will be fully formed at the edges; will
harvest off of the evaporators beginning with
individual cubes at the top of the evaporator, then
vertical strips for the balance; and will appear
similar to the illustration for “Correct Size Cube”.

INITIAL START UP
Adjust for the correct size if needed:
To produce SMALLER sized ice cubes:
Locate cube size control knob, in the front of the
control box. Rotate this knob one eighth of a turn
counter clockwise. Observe size of the ice cubes
in the next ice cube harvest and adjust again if
needed, until the correct ice cube is achieved.
To produce LARGER ice cubes:
Locate cube size control on the front of the control
box. Rotate the knob one eighth of a turn
clockwise. Observe size of ice cubes in the next
cube harvest and adjust again if needed, until
correct the ice cube size is achieved.
14. Check Harvest Time. The machine must
harvest all cubes before returning to a freeze cycle.
Increase the harvest time if there is less than 15
seconds of harvest time after the last cube has
fallen into the bin.
Decrease the harvest time if there is much more
than 15 seconds of harvest time after the last cube
has fallen into the bin. Note: Harvest time is
dependent upon the water and air temperatures at
the ice machine. Do not adjust harvest time too
short, as this will cause a freeze up .
See the next page for detailed harvest time
adjustment instructions.
15. Check ICE BIN LEVEL CONTROL
The amount of ice maintained in the bin is
adjustable. The normal setting is “full”. If the
operator desires, the level of ice in the bin may be
adjusted lower to shut off the machine when the
bin is only partially full.
To Test The Ice Level Setting:
1. Open the bin door and locate on the bottom of
the ice machine, the ice level sensor. It’s in a
socket about 2" in diameter and located left of the
evaporator plates.
2. When the machine is running, wait until near the
end of a “harvest” cycle.
3. Hold a flat object about the size of this service
manual over the ice level sensor socket.
4. The ice machine should turn off at the end of the
harvest cycle.
5. Slowly lower the flat object straight down.
6. The ice machine will start again at the point
where it will maintain the ice level.
Adjust Bin Ice Level
1. Locate ice level control knob.
2. Turn knob to the desired position.
3. Replace front panel.
4. To test, wait until the ice machine is near the
end of a “harvest” cycle, if there is ice in the bin
higher than the position the ice level control is set
for, the ice machine will turn OFF at the end of the
harvest cycle. If no ice in the bin, test again as
described under, “To Test The Ice Level Setting”.
16. Replace all panels, the machine is ready for
automatic operation.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE TIMER & SWITCH ASSEMBLY
One complete revolution of the cam on the timer
represents eight minutes. The first part of the
cam rotation is the end of the freezing cycle, and
the final few minutes is the defrost/harvest cycle.
Rotating the shaft of the timer cam Clockwise will
put the ice machine into the freeze or harvest
cycle, as required in the cleaning instructions.
To adjust the timer & switch assembly:
1. Remove front panel.
2. Remove control box cover.
A. To start the HARVEST CYCLE: Slowly rotate
the shaft of the timer and switch assembly,
clockwise until the actuator arm on the microswitch
initiates the harvest cycle. An audible click can be
heard, but in a noisy area, look at the cam and
switch to observe the event
B. To start the FREEZING CYCLE: Slowly rotate
the shaft of the timer and switch assembly
clockwise until the actuator arm on the microswitch
initiates the freezing cycle.
C. To adjust the length of the harvest cycle:
1. Loosen the adjustment screw on the cam and
rotate the shaft of the cam to move the cam. More
of a gap between the high and low portions will
yield more harvest time.
2. Tighten the set screw.
3. Replace the control box cover and front panel.
it. is important that the length of the harvest cycle
allow enough time for all the ice cubes to fall from
the evaporator. Too short of a time will cause the
evaporator to freeze up and stop ejecting ice into
the bin. Too much time wastes ice making
capacity, energy and water. Adjustment of the
harvest cycle may require an adjustment of the
cube size control.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Compressor Contactor
The compressor contactor carries the compressor
line current. The contactor is wired so any control
in the pilot circuit, such as the bin control, and high
pressure controls, etc., will cause the contactor
holding coil to be de energized, when the control
contact OPENS, thereby breaking the circuit to the
compressor.
Cube Size Control
This reverse acting (closes on temperature fall)
thermostat determines how long the freezing cycle
will be. The cube size control closes it’s contacts
when the evaporator cools to the set temperature,
starting the timer. A variation in heat load (either
ambient air or incoming water temperature) will
affect the efficiency of the refrigeration system, and
that will vary the length of time it takes the
evaporators to cool to the temperature at which the
cube size control is set to close, which, in turn, will
affect the overall cycle time. See CUBE SIZE
ADJUSTMENT BEFORE attempting to adjust the
control.
Relay
The multi-function, three pole, double throw, relay
plugs into a socket on the printed circuit board in
the control box. The relay functions in part to
by-pass the bin control during the harvest and
freeze cycles, preventing the icemaker from
shutting off in the middle of a cycle. The bypass
action allows only complete freeze and harvest
cycles; the only time that the ice maker can shut
off on bin control is as the end of the harvest cycle.
Timer - Timer & Switch Assembly
The timer begins to turn when activated by the
cube size control. The outer surface, or large
diameter lobe of the timer cam, determines the
length of time for finish freezing of the ice cubes,
while the inner surface, or small diameter lobe,
determines length of the harvest cycle. The
single-pole, double throw microswitch on the timer
controls the power to the plug in relay coil, making
it either the freezing or harvest cycle. The
microswitch is actuated by a cam assembly
directly connected to the timer motor. The timer
cam can be adjusted to vary the defrost time, as
required. One complete rotation of the cam will
take eight minutes. Harvest is preset at 2 and two
thirds minutes.
Hot Gas Solenoid Valve
The hot gas solenoid valve opens only during the
harvest cycle. When it opens, it diverts the hot
discharge gases so that they flow directly into the
evaporator plates, by-passing the condenser and
thermostatic expansion valve. The hot gases warm
the evaporators, releasing the ice cubes from the
ice cube molds. The hot gas solenoid valve is
installed in a branch of the discharge line, and
when the timer switches the ice machine into the
harvest cycle, the energized solenoid coil lifts the
valve stem within the valve body, allowing the hot
discharge gas to be diverted to the evaporators.
High Temperature Cut Out
This temperature sensor is located next to the hot
gas valve, on the outlet side.
During normal operation, it does not affect the ice
machine, but it will shut the machine off if the hot
gas line overheats. It is an automatic reset.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ice Level Control
This electronic control uses sound waves to
measure the distance between the bottom of the
ice machine and the top of the ice in the bin. It is
designed to control the machine’s ice production to
maintain that distance.
The control is adjustable so that the ice machine
will maintain a certain height of ice. It will not fill
any closer to the ice machine than 8", and will not
work if the distance to the bottom of the bin is
greater than 8 feet.
Because it uses sound waves, a slight “ticking”
sound can be heard coming from the bottom of the
machine.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Electric Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet solenoid valve fills the reservoir
assembly with water. Excess water overflows out
the overflow standpipe located at the back of the
reservoir. This action fills and rinses the reservoir
during each harvest cycle. The flow rate is .75
g.p.m.
Water Distribution System
The water distribution system evenly supplies
water to all cells of the evaporator plates. The
water pump pumps water from the reservoir up the
vertical tygon tube to the tee. From there water is
channeled through the water manifold to the water
distributors, above each evaporator plate, and
from six holes within each distributor, water flows
to the cells of each side of the evaporator plates.
Gravity flow returns the unfrozen excess portion of
water to the reservoir for recirculation.
Reservoir
The reservoir, located below the evaporators,
stores the inlet water charge, and collects the
water that flows over the evaporator plates. Above
the reservoir, but below the evaporators are the
cube chutes, designed to retain any water splash
from ice making or harvest. Most ice will be falling
into the bin below the center evaporator.

This is a manual reset control that shuts down the
icemaker, should the discharge pressure ever
reach 400 PSIG.

CLEANING
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.
Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.
CLEANING: ICE MAKER
1. Remove front panel.
2. Switch the Wash/Off/Ice switch to OFF.
3. Remove the front liner.
4. Remove and discard all ice from the storage bin.
5. Locate the reservoir drain and drain the
reservoir. If the reservoir doesn’t drain completely,
disconnect the pump hose attached to the water
distributors and place the end of the hose in a
bucket. Switch the Wash/Off/Ice switch to Wash,
