For the Electrician For the Plumber Final Check List Initial Start Up . [. . . ] 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. When set at FULL it will not allow the machine to fill the bin any closer to the ice machine than about 8", and it 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. There are two parts to the control, the circuit board, and the level control switch. ICE/OFF/WASH SWITCH THE USER CAN SELECT THE AMOUNT OF ICE TO BE MAINTAINED IN THE BIN.

Water Distribution System The water distribution system functions to evenly supply water to all cells of the evaporator plates. The water pump pumps water from the sump 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 sump reservoir for recirculation. Hot Gas Solenoid Valve The hot gas solenoid valve opens only during the harvest cycle, to divert the hot discharge gas from the compressor, by passing the condenser and capillary tube, for direct flow to the evaporator plates to release ice cubes from the ice cube molds. Fan Pressure Control - Air-Cooled Models only. SUMP STANDPIPE WATER DISTRIBUTORS ln both freeze and harvest cycles, the fan pressure control functions to maintain a minimum discharge pressure by cycling the fan on and off. Strainer A water strainer is located in the potable inlet water line before the water inlet solenoid valve. Clean the water strainer frequently. HAND VALVE SUMP PUMP COMPONENT LOCATION April, 1993 Page 14 DRAIN CAP MCM1462 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: ICEMAKER 7. Remove the control box cover, and rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly CLOCKWISE advancing to the freezing cycle. Remove the hose clamp, rubber cap and drain all the water from the sump assembly into a container. Mix 24 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner with 2 gallons of warm (950F. During the wash cycle, if the machine runs out of solution, mix 2 more gallons of solution per step 6, refill the sump and continue the wash cycle for the remainder of the 30 minutes. Remove the reservoir drain cap and drain the cleaning solution from the sump. Rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly CLOCKWISE to the harvest position (low part of the cam against microswitch). [. . . ] · This system has a critical charge, it must be recharged with the correct amount of refrigerant as listed on the nameplate of the ice machine, or performance will suffer. · Anytime the refrigeration system has been opened, the dryer should be replaced. · When brazing the tubing connections to the hot gas valve or thermostatic expansion valve, the component must be protected by heat sink material. There are various mechanical devices that may be used to recycle refrigerant at the field level, however, Scotsman requires that any refrigerant placed into a Scotsman ice machine meet ARI spec 700.
