FOR THE INSTALLER: Machine & Bin Assembly
Overview:
This ice system consists of 4 major assemblies:
1. The ice storage bin.
2. The ice maker itself.
3. The interconnecting refrigerant lines.
4. The remote condenser.
Additionally, there will be interconnecting wires
between the ice maker and the condenser. The
Scotsman remote condenser is powered from the
ice maker. The condenser must be located above
the ice maker, usually on the roof.
On the back of the cabinet is the following notice:
REMOTE CONDENSER NOTICE
This unit has been designed for use with
Underwriter’s Laboratories Inc. listed forced air
cooled condensers, Scotsman models
RCE1001-32A or RCE1002-32A or ERC301. The
ice maker, condenser and connecting line sets are
factory charged with the correct amount of
refrigerant and therefore require no charging in the
field unless the system should be opened for
service repairs.
If other forced air cooled condensers are being
considered for use with this ice maker, prior
approval from Scotsman is necessary to insure
proper system operation.
Any alternate forced air cooled condenser being
considered must be listed with Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. Certified with C.S.A. and have a
minimum design pressure of 500 P.S.I.G.
CAUTION
A suitable ground path must be provided between
the remote condenser cabinet and the ice maker
cabinet if the condenser fan is powered from the
ice maker.
IMPORTANT
In order to prevent compressor damage due to
refrigerant migration, and to insure acceptable
start up, a crankcase heater has been installed on
the compressor. This heater is wired to operate at
all times. Upon initial start up and any time the unit
power supply is interrupted for more than one
hour, the machine should not be started for at
least 4 hours after the power supply has been
reconnected to the machine.
Storage Bin:
1. Measure the location of the ice machine floor
drain relative to the installed location of the bin.
Route all drain lines so that when the machine is
installed in its normal position, the drain tubes
terminate just above the floor drain.
2. Using corner posts from the bin’s carton as a
cushion, lay the bin on its back.
3. Install the legs into the leg sockets.
4. Move bin back to an upright position.
5. Remove all material that is packed inside the bin.
Ice Maker:
1. Arrange for proper electric, water and drain.
See instructions for the plumber and for the
electrician.
2. Position the ice storage bin in the selected
location which should have a minimum room
temperature of 50-degrees F. and maximum room
temperature of 100 degrees F.
3. Inspect the bin top mounting gasket which
should be flat, with no wrinkles, to provide a good
water seal when the cuber is installed on top of the
bin.
4. Install the modular cuber on top of the bin using
care to be sure a good seal is made between the
two cabinets, use of a mechanical lift is
recommended. Align the holes in the bottom back
of the cabinet to mate with the two mounting straps
on the top rear of the bin.
5. Use bolts and straps found in the hardware
package to secure the ice machine to the ice
storage bin.
When alignment and leveling are completed,
tighten the bolts to secure the mounting straps.
Remote Condenser:
A new condenser coil designed for the machine’s
capacity MUST be used. Because of the possibility
of mineral oil contamination, coils and line sets
that had been connected to R-12, R-502 or R-22
units MAY NOT BE CONNECTED TO THIS
SYSTEM. Doing so voids the refrigeration system
warranty.
