Air flow
The machine takes in room temperature air at the
lower right front and discharges warm air from the
lower left front. Restricting the airflow will adversely
affect the ability of the ice machine to make ice.
Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and
manufactured with the highest regard for safety
and performance. They meet or exceed the
standards of agencies like U.L.
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 parts 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 designs are subject to change
without notice.

Water Quality:
All water, including potable water supplied by
municipalities, contains some impurities or
minerals. Water absorbs impurities from the air as
rain and/or as it flows through the ground. Some of
the impurities are solid particles, these are known
as suspended solids, and a fine particle filter will
remove them. Other impurities are chemically
bonded to the water molecules, and cannot be
filtered out, these are called dissolved solids.
Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral
content than the water it was made from. This is
due to the method of making ice. Purer water will
freeze first in the ice making molds. The reason for
this is that anything dissolved in water lowers the
water’s freezing temperature. This concentrates
most of the impurities in the ice machine water
reservoir where they may form hard deposits
known as scale. The machine dilutes the
concentration of minerals by over-filling the
reservoir during the harvest cycle (with the excess
water flowing down the drain). About 3 quarts of
water flow into the unit each cycle. About 1 quart of
that rinses the reservoir and goes down the drain.
Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick
to the parts in the machine, and will cause
malformed ice cubes. Eventually, built up mineral
scale can shorten machine life.
To keep the machine operating properly, these
impurities or minerals will have to be regularly
dissolved by an acid cleaning, using Scotsman Ice
Scale Remover. Directions for this may be found in
the section under cleaning.
Filters and Treatment
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the
water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can
remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some
methods of water treatment for dissolved solids
include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate
feeders. A reverse osmosis system should include
post treatment to satisfy the R.O. water’s potential
aggressiveness. Deionized water is not
recommended.
Because water softeners exchange one mineral for
another, softened water may not improve water
conditions when used with ice machines. Where
water is very hard, softened water could result in
white, mushy cubes that stick together.
If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of
use water specialist for recommendations on water
treatment.
Installation Overview
The ice machine must be connected to cold,
potable water; it must have a drain; it must be
connected to the proper power supply and must be
able circulate air through the vents at the front.

Installation Notes
Built In Situations: If a finished floor is to be
installed in the area after the ice machine has been
built in, shims the expected thickness of the floor
should be installed under the unit to keep the
machine level with the planned floor level.
Installations on a slab: Use a pump model and
pump the water to the point of drainage. Pump
models will pump 1 story (10 feet) high.
Installations over a crawl space or basement:
Either gravity drain or pump model units may be
used, if there is not enough room behind the
machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will
have to be below the floor.
Note: When installed in a corner, the door swing
may be limited due to handle contact with the wall
or cabinet face.

Gravity Drain
Caution: Restrictions in the drain system to the
machine will cause water to back up into the ice
storage bin and melt the ice. Gravity drain tubing
must be vented, have no kinks and slope to the
building drain. Air gaps are typically required by
local code.
1. Place the ice machine in front of the installation
opening. Adjust leveling legs to the approximate
height.
2. Remove the front service access panel and the
upper back panel.
Note: If you are connecting a gravity drain model
and the drain opening has been located in the floor
under the base pan according to the pre install
specifications, follow steps 3 through 5 to drain the
unit through the base. If not, proceed to step 6b.
3. Remove the clamp and barbed elbow and take
off the plastic cover in the base pan below the drain
hose.
4. Connect a straight 5/8” barbed connector to the
drain hose, securing with the clamp removed in
step 4.
5. Cut an 8” piece of 5/8” ID X 7/8” OD tygon (clear
plastic) tubing. Slide one end of the tube onto the
outlet of the barbed connector and secure with a
clamp. Leave the other end of the tube lying on the
floor of the base pan until the unit is positioned
over the floor drain.
6. Route the drain tube. Either a) Insert the drain
tube through the base pan into the floor drain or b)
Route the drain tube through the left hole in the
lower back panel and connect to barbed elbow and
secure with a clamp.
7. Reinstall the upper back panel.

Electrical
The ice machine is supplied with a power cord. Do
not remove the grounding pin from the cord’s plug.
Do not use extension cords. Follow all codes.
Connect the machine to its own 115 volt, 15 amp
circuit.
1. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind
the unit, plug in the unit.
2. Position the unit in the installation opening.
3. Turn on the water supply. Make sure that the ice
maker is plugged in and the power is on.
4. Slide unit into installation opening, paying careful
attention to water supply and drain connections. Do
not kink!
5. Pour a couple of quarts of water into the ice
storage bin; on units equipped with a drain pump
the drain pump should start and water should pump
out. Check for leaks and proper draining.
6. Replace the service access panel. Level the unit
as needed.
Installation check list:
Has the unit been connected to the proper water
supply?
Has the water supply be checked for leaks?
Has the unit been connected to a drain?
Has the drain been tested for flow and leaks?
Has the unit been connected to the proper
electrical supply?
Has the unit been leveled?
Have all packing materials been removed from the
machine?
Has the door covering been installed?
Initial Start Up
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Switch on the electrical power.
3. Switch the on/off switch to On.
The compressor will start and water will begin to
flow into the unit. When the reservoir is full, water
will start to drain from the machine. After a few
minutes the water pump and fan motor will begin to
operate and the first ice making cycle will have
begun.
No adjustments are needed.
After about a half hour, ice will fall into the ice
storage bin. The first batches of ice will melt, this is
normal. It will take 24 to 36 hours of continuous run
time to fill the ice storage bin. When the bin is full of
ice, the ice machine will shut off. It will
automatically restart when the ice level falls, either
from use or meltage.

User Manual

Use
No special instructions are needed for use. Just
take as much ice as you need, the machine will
replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can be stored
in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right
side as a holder.
What shouldn’t be done?
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is
not ice; objects like wine or beer bottles are not
only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug
up the drain.
Never allow the machine to operate without regular
cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept
clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least
once per year, and preferably twice. Some water
conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning
of the ice making section, and some carpets or
pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the
condenser.
Noise:
The ice machine is designed for quite operation,
but will make some noise during the ice making
cycle. It is normal to hear the fan and circulating
water during the freeze cycle, and ice hitting the bin
or ice in the bin can be heard during harvest.
If ice making noise is objectionable, a timer can be
added to the power supply. Set the timer to turn the
machine off at the time of day when the noise is
most objectionable.
Maintenance
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The outside cabinet & door.
2. The ice storage bin.
3. The condenser.
4. The ice making system.
5. The ice scoop.
How to clean the cabinet.
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and
handle as they occur. If anything spilled on the
door or gasket dries onto the surface, wash with
soap and warm water to remove.
How to clean the ice storage bin.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized
occasionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the
bin after the ice making system has been cleaned,
and the storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 ounce of
household bleach and two gallons of hot (95oF. –
115oF.) water. Use a clean cloth and wipe the
interior of the ice storage bin with the sanitizing
solution, pour some of the solution down the drain.
Allow to air dry.

How to clean the condenser.
The condenser is like the radiator on a car, it has
fins and tubes that can become clogged. To clean:
1. Remove the kickplate.
2. Locate the condenser surface.
3. Vacuum the surface, removing all dust and lint.
Caution: Do not dent the fins.
4. Replace the kickplate.
Winterizing
1. Clean the machine as explained on the next
page.
2. Open the door and switch the machine off.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Drain the water reservoir by removing the rubber
cap on the back wall of the ice storage bin.
5. Disconnect the incoming water line at the inlet
water valve.
6. Switch the machine to On.
7. Blow air through the inlet water valve until water
stops flowing from it; a tire pump could do the job.
8. Drain pump models should have about 1/2
gallon of RV antifreeze (propylene glycol) poured
into the ice storage bin drain.
Note: Automotive antifreeze must NOT be used.
9. Switch off and unplug the machine.
How to clean the ice making system.
1. Scoop out all of the ice, either discard it or save
it in a ice chest or cooler.
2. Pour 8 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Scale
Remover (available from a local Scotsman
Distributor or Dealer) into the ice machine
reservoir.
3. Allow the machine to operate for about 2 hours.
4. Pour hot (95oF. – 115oF.) water into the bin to
melt the ice that has formed. That ice will likely be
white and frosty looking.
5. Clean the bin liner of mineral scale by mixing
some ice machine scale remover with hot water,
and using that solution to scrub the scale off of the
liner.
6. Rinse the liner with hot water.
7. Sanitize the bin interior.
8. Replace the ice removed in step 2.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly, wash it
just like any other food container.
