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 panel.
2. Push and release the off button.
3. Remove the evaporator cover.
4. Remove the upper splash panel.
5. Remove the top panel.
6. Lift the center of the distributor assembly to
release them from the top of the evaporators.
Repeat for each plate.
7. Examine the top of the evaporators. The water
distribution channels must be free of mineral build
up. If build up is present, scrub the channels with
Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner and a plastic
bristle brush.
8. Examine the water distributors. Although they
are made of a material that is resistant to mineral
build up, some may be present, especially in the
discharge holes. Soak or scrub the distributors in a
solution of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner and
warm, potable water.
9. Return the water distributors to their normal
position.
10. Snap the two distributors onto the top of each
evaporator.
11. Repeat for all evaporators.
12. Reconnect the water hose.
13. Push and release the clean button to begin the
cleaning process, after the reservoir refills push
and release the button again to start the rinse
process. After 20 minutes push and release the Off
button.
14. Push and release the Freeze button.
15. Return all covers and panels to their original
positions.
Inlet Water Valve Screen
The inlet water valve has a screen on its inlet side
to keep debris from flowing into the valve. In some
cases, this screen may become clogged or
restricted by debris build up. Check for the proper
water flow.
Flow rate is
2.77
GPM
1. Remove front panel.
2. Obtain a measuring cup and a watch.
3. Push and release the Harvest button.
4. When the water valve opens, it will fill a 16
ounce cup in about 3 seconds. Be prepared to
push the Off button! If the water does not flow in
fast enough, the water inlet valve or other water
device is restricted.
To Check the Inlet Water Valve Screen
1. Disconnect the electrical power.
2. Shut off the water supply.
3. Remove the front panel.
4. Unplug the electrical connection from the inlet
water valve.
5. Remove the screws holding the water valve to
the cabinet.
6. Remove the outlet tube from the inlet water
valve.
7. Rotate the inlet water valve from the inlet fitting
and remove valve from machine.
8. Examine the inlet screen. If dirty, brush the dirt
from the screen.
Note: Screen is not replaceable, and may only be
removed by taking off the covering bracket. The
bracket is part of the valve and must be water tight.
Removal is not recommended.
