This ice maker is designed to be installed indoors, 

in a controlled environment.  Although it can operate 

in a wide range of air and water temperatures, it 

will provide the best performance if not subject to 

extremes.

Air Temperature Limitations

• Minimum: 50

o

 F or 10

o

 C

Ambient temperatures less than 15°C (60°F) 

may cause erratic bin level control operation. 

Ambient temperatures higher than the maximum 

specification will result in reduced capacities 

and high system pressures. 

Water Temperature Limitations

Water Pressure, Potable

• Maximum:  80 PSI or 5.5 BAR
• Minimum:  30 PSI or 2 BAR

Potable Water Inlet Flow Rate

• 2.5 gpm

Voltage 115 volt models

• Maximum 126 VAC
• Minimum 104 VAC

Operating the machine outside of any of the above 

limitations is considered abuse and any resulting 

damage is not covered by warranty and could cause a 

complete loss of warranty coverage.

Warranty Information

The warranty statement for this product is provided 

separately from this manual. Refer to it for applicable 

coverage. 
In general, warranty covers defects in material 

or workmanship. It does not cover maintenance, 

corrections to installations, or situations when the 

machine is operated in circumstances that exceed the 

limitations printed above.

Product Information:

The BC is available in a single cube size. The ice size 

cannot be changed significantly.  It is a modular cuber 

and the ice is stored in separate insulated bin with ice 

level automatically maintained by the control system.  

A back flow preventer may be required by local 

plumbing codes.

Air flow is in the back and out the front and sides.

For available options and kits, see sales literature. 

Storage Bins

The ice machine will likely be too deep to fit properly 

on a typical ice storage bin. Scotsman B530 bins will 

require attachment bracket that is included with the 

ice machine.

Dispensers

The BC0530 is NOT COMPATIBLE with any 

dispenser. Do not attempt stacking onto a dispenser 

or using the ice in a dispenser..

EQUIPMENT CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS 

Clearance must be provided for ventilation and maintenance access.  Ventilation is especially important for 

models with air cooled condensers.  Failure to provide adequate clearance may result in reduced capacities 

and high system pressures.  The minimum clearances for proper ventilation and access are:
