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 panel.
2. Push and release the OFF button.
Single Unit Installation:
3. Remove the evaporator covers.
4. Reach over the water distributors and pull the
hose off.
5. Push the two water distributors to the right until
the left end clears its retaining slot, then pull the
left end up.
6. If there are two evaporators, repeat for the back
one.
7. 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.
8. Examine the water distributors. Although they
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.
9. Return the water distributors to their normal
installed position.
9a. Snap the two distributors onto the water
manifold. Place them on the back evaporator, right
end first. Push the distributors far enough to the
right until the left end clears the retaining slot, then
release. Check that the distributors are seated
properly.
9b. Place the water hose onto the back water
distributors.
9c. Repeat for the front evaporator, if there is one.
10. Push and release the clean button to flush the
water system.
11. After the machine stops, push and release the
Freeze button.
12. Replace the evaporator cover.
