Initial Start Up:
1. Remove the front panel.
2. Locate the AutoIQ Controller.
3. Switch on the electrical power. Note that the
indicator lights all flashed on briefly.
4. Open the water supply valve.
5. Push and release the Freeze cycle push button
(the Freeze indicator light will blink until the
compressor starts). The next several operations
are automatic.
Initial Start Sequence
•
The Freeze light is blinking.
•
The Hot Gas Solenoid valve is open.
•
The inlet water valve opens to fill the
reservoir. The inlet water valve will shut off
when the reservoir is full.
•
The water pump starts to pump water.
•
The inlet water valve opens again to refill the
reservoir.
•
After 30 seconds the compressor starts.
•
After 5 seconds the hot gas valve closes.
Freeze Cycle:
•
The Freeze indicator light will come on. The
machine will stay in a Freeze cycle for many
minutes. Slush may appear in the reservoir,
it is temporary and normal.
•
Under certain conditions, the pump may
stop for a few seconds. After that the inlet
water valve will refill the reservoir.
•
The fan motor (of air cooled models) will
begin to turn and soon warm air will be
forced out the back of the cabinet.
•
The freeze cycle will continue until the water
level in the reservoir drops to its factory set
point, then the Harvest Cycle will begin.
Harvest Cycle:
•
The Harvest indicator light will be ON,
•
The hot gas valve will open.
•
The water pump will stop. It will restart in
less than a minute.
•
The Inlet water valve will open. The machine
will fill the reservoir and overflow it for a
specified number of seconds then shut off.
The harvest cycle may still be in progress.
•
The Bin Full indicator light will go on and off
as ice falls from the evaporators.
6. Machines are shipped from the factory with the
purge level set to accommodate average water
conditions. See page 13 for purge adjustment
instructions.
24 hours of run time may be need to attain full ice
making capacity.
7. The machine’s correct cube size should result in
ice falling from the evaporator in vertical strips of 8
- 10 cubes; the top 2 cubes might fall individually.
8. After a few minutes the machine will return to a
freeze cycle.
9. Fill out the Customer Evaluation and Warranty
Registration. Send it to Scotsman.
10. Replace the front panel.
11. Inform the user of the location and telephone
number of the local service company. Also inform
the user of the required maintenance of the
machine.
Notes On Operation:
1. The electric eyes signal the ice machine to shut
off whenever the bin becomes full. After the eyes
sense that there is ice between them, the ice
machine will shut off at the end of the next harvest
cycle. This last harvest cycle will be longer than
the rest.
2. After the bin has filled the ice machine will not
be able to restart for 4 minutes. However, if
needed, the Freeze button may be pushed and the
unit will restart.
For example: If ice is removed from the bin
immediately after the machine has filled up and
shut off, the machine will not restart for 4 minutes.
3. If the bin controls sense a bin full signal before
any water is used (float stem up), the machine will
shut off on bin full.
