Scotsman Prodigy Series Operating manual

Planned Maintenance:
Ice Machines require periodic maintenance to be able to deliver like-new reliable
performance. That maintenance will be in ve areas:
• The ice machine’s water system.
• The ice machine’s bearing and water seal.
• The ice machine’s photo-electric eyes.
• The ice storage bin or ice dispenser.
• The ice machine’s air lter or condenser.
The maintenance includes:
• Scale removal
• Sanitization
• Filter cleaning or change
Schedule:
At some sites the water supply to the ice machine will contain signicant quantities of minerals, and that will
result in a water system becoming coated with these minerals, requiring more frequent maintenance than
twice per year.
Ice Machine Water System, including water lters:
• Remove scale from water system and change lters a minimum of every 6 months.
• Sanitize the water system whenever the scale has been removed
Bin Liner Cleaning and Sanitizing:
• At the same time of scale removal and ice machine sanitization
Air Filter Cleaning:
• Every 6 months with the ice machine scale removal or more frequently as needed
Remote Condenser Coil Cleaning:
• Every 6 months with the ice machine scale removal or more frequently as needed
For the Owner or Operator - several items can be “do it yourself” procedures:
• Water lter change - estimated time 5 minutes
• Air lter cleaning or change - estimated time 10 minutes
• Storage bin cleaning & sanitizing - estimated time 25 minutes
Prodigy Flaked and
Nugget Ice Machines
Although Prodigy ice machines are easy to maintain, most of their maintenance should be performed by ice
machine technicians , as they have the necessary skills, tools and supplies. This maintenance aid is intended
for them. Pages 2-4 apply to the removal of scale. Other maintenance is in the user manual.
