Additional Maintenance: Water Distributors
It may become necessary to remove the water
distributors from the top of the evaporator and
clean (de-mineralize) them outside of the ice
machine.
1. Remove front panels.
2. Push and release the OFF button.
3. Remove the evaporator covers.
4. Pull the tab at the front of the evaporators
forward and lift the water distributors up until they
clear the tab.
5. Repeat for all evaporators and distributors..
6. Slide the left and right groups of distributors
forward until the center manifold is accessible.
7. Remove the distributors from the manifolds.
8. Examine the top of the evaporators. The Water
Distribution Channels must be free from mineral
build up. If build up is evident, scrub the channels
with Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner and a plastic
bristle brush.

are made of a material that is resistant to mineral
build up, some may be present. Soak or scrub the
distributors in or with a solution of Scotsman Ice
Machine Cleaner and warm potable water.
10. Return the water distributors to their normal
installed position.
11. Push and release the clean button to flush the
water system.
