FOR THE PLUMBER CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES W ater Inlet Air Cooled Models: The recommended water supply is clean, cold water . Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing, connect to the 3/8" male flare at the back of the cabinet. Install a hand valve near the machine to control the water supply . W ater T reatment: In most areas, a water filter of [...]

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES The electrical power to the unit is supplied through the junction box at the rear of the machine. Check the nameplate (located on the back panel) for the voltage requirements, and for the minimum circuit ampacity . The machine requires a solid chassis to earth ground wire. The ice maker should be [...]

FOR THE INSTALLER: Final Check List 1. Is the icemaker-dispenser installed indoors, in a location where the air and water temperatures are controlled, and where they do not go beyond design limitations? 2. Is there an electrical disconnect (switch or plug as required) within sight of the installed machine? Is the machine on a separate circuit? Has [...]

INITIAL START UP Pre Start Inspection 1. Remove the two front panels. 2. Check that all shipping blocks have been removed. 3. Remove any and all packing tape (check inside the storage bin). 4. Inspect the interior of the machine for loose screws or wires. Check that no refrigerant lines are rubbing each other . Check that the fan blade on air coole[...]

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION High Pressure Cut Out Switch : A manual reset switch sensing the high side refrigeration pressure. It is set to shut the machine off if the discharge pressure should ever exceed 450 psig. Evaporator: A vertical stainless steel tube, refrigerated, and water filled. In it there is a stainless steel auger . Reservoir: Float opera[...]

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Evaporator : A refrigerated vertical tube filled with water and containing a water seal and auger . Auger: A solid stainless steel double spiral auger , it pushes the ice crystals up to the top of the evaporator . W ater Seal: A two part “face” seal, the top half rotating with the auger , the bottom half stationary , the s[...]

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION: Control Box Circuit Board: The circuit board receives input signals from several sensors and translates them to control the electrical power supply to the various loads. The sensors include: · Touch Free ice or water. · Ice level in the bin. · Water level in the reservoir. The loads include: · Compressor contactor · Fan [...]

ELECTRICAL SEQUENCE Refer the wiring diagram as needed. The “Power” light on the board glows whenever there is power to the machine (and the master switch is ON). If the machine is switched off at the master switch, but is otherwise ready to go, switching the master switch to ON does the following: · The bin empty and power lights on the circu[...]

OPERATION: Water W ater enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to a strainer and then to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water then goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator . Reservoir overflow , evaporator condensation and water in the s[...]

OPERATION: Refrigeration Beginning at the compressor , the refrigerant is compressed into a high temperature gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the condenser . At the condenser (air or water cooled) the gas is cooled by either air or water and it then condenses into a liquid. This high pressure liquid then goes through the liquid line to t[...]

OPERATION: Ice Vending Dispensing takes place when the T ouch Free sensor ’ s infrared beam bounces back to the sensor from a container placed directly in front of it. If the container is in front of the T ouch Free sensor on the left side, the ice dispensing vane will rotate and sweep ice over the ice dispensing chute: ice will continue to disch[...]

MDT5N25 & MDT5N40 May 2001 Page 17 DISPENSE AREA SANITATION The dispense area; spouts, sink, grill and splash panel will need periodic cleaning and maintenance. 1. The ice chute may be pulled down to remove it from the ice dispenser . W ash and sanitize it. 2. The sink grill may be removed for washing and sanitizing. 3. The sink should be flush[...]

CLEANING and SANITIZING 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. It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always preferable, and less costly in the lon[...]

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 1. Air Cooled Models: Check the air cooled condenser for lint, dirt or grease build-up. Clean with vacuum or soft brush until light can be seen thru the fins. 2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe located in the water reservoir . At least twice a year , the probe should be removed from the reservoir , and the tip[...]

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker will contain a high concentration of minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year . If in doubt about the condition of the evaporator and auger , the auger can be removed s[...]
