Check voltage on the line and the ice maker’s
data plate before connecting the unit.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS

GENERAL
When choosing the water supply for the ice cuber
consideration should be given to:

a) Length of run
b) Water clarity and purity
c) Adequate water supply pressure

Since water is the most important single ingredient
in producting ice you cannot emphasize too
much the three items listed above.
Low water pressure, below 1 bar may cause
malfunction of the ice maker unit.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to
produce cloudy coloured ice cubes, plus scale
build-up on parts of the water system.

WATER SUPPLY

Air Cooled Versions

Connect the 3/4" male fitting of the solenoid
water inlet valve, using the flexible tube supplied,
to the cold water supply line with regular plumbing
fitting and a shut-off valve installed in an
accessible position between the water supply
line and the unit. If water contains a high level of
impurities, it is advisable to consider the use an
appropriate water filter or conditioner.

Water supply - Water cooled models

The water cooled versions of SCOTSMAN Ice
Makers require two separate inlet water supplies,
one for the water sprayed for making the ice cubes
and the other for the water cooled condenser.
Connect the 3/4" GAS male fitting of the water
inlet, using the flexible tubing or a 3/8" O.D.
copper pipe, to the cold water supply line with
regular plumbing fitting and a shut-off valve
installed in an accessible position between the
water supply line and the unit.

WATER DRAIN
The recommended drain tube is a plastic or
flexible tube with 18 mm (3/4") I.D. which runs to
an open trapped and vented drain.

WATER DRAIN - WATER COOLED MODELS
Connect the 3/4" male fitting of the condenser
water drain, utilizing a second flexible hose, to
the open trapped and vented drain.

NOTE. 

The water supply and the water drain

must be installed to conform with the local
code. In some case a licensed plumber and/
or a plumbing permit  is required.

WATER DRAIN - EC version

The water can be pumped out up to 1.5 m rise
or

to 30 m on horizontal length.

F.

FINAL CHECK LIST

1.

Is the unit in a room where ambient

temperatures are within a minimum of 10

°

C

(50

°

F) even in winter months?

2.

Is there at least a 15 cm (6") clearance

around the unit for proper air circulation?

3.

Is the unit level? (IMPORTANT)

4.

Have all the electrical and plumbing

connections been made, and is the water
supply shut-off valve open?

5.

Has the voltage been tested and checked

against the data plate rating?

6.

Has the water supply pressure been

checked  to  ensure  a  water  pressure  of  at
least 1 bar (14 psi).

7.

Check all refrigerant lines and conduit

lines to guard against vibrations and possible
failure.

8.

Have the bolts holding the compressor down

been checked to ensure that the compressor is
snugly fitted onto the mounting pads?

9.

Have the bin liner and cabinet been wiped

clean?
