Pre-Installation
Other Applications:
Check sales literature for additional information.
Note: Slope-front bins must have an internal baffle.
Scotsman BH375 has the required baffle, and the
BH260 does not need one. Baffle must be
approximately in the position shown in the diagram
below.
Electrical:
Check the nameplate for electrical requirements.
The nameplate is located on the back of the ice
machine. If the information on the nameplate is
different from other published information, go by
the nameplate data.
While the model and
serial number are on
the nameplate, a
serial number plate
is located at the
front of the machine,
behind the front
panel
and to the right
of the purge valve.
Water:
There is no such thing as pure water. All water
contains some impurities. There are two ways
water carries the impurities: suspended and
dissolved. Suspended solids can be filtered out.
Dissolved solids must be diluted or treated. Water
filters are recommended to remove suspended
solids. Some filters also have treatment in them for
dissolved solids. Check with a water treatment
service for a recommendation.
Cube Ice machines use more water than what
ends up in the bin as ice. While most water is used
during ice making, a portion is designed to “rinse"
out the water system to keep hard water scale
from clogging up the machine. That water rinse,
combined with water filters, prolongs the times
between needed water system cleaning.
Service Technicians: All models covered here
come set from the factory with at a “Standard”
water rinse. Standard water rinse is designed to be
compatible with typical water conditions. The
machine may be adjusted to a different water rinse
after start up. If the prior ice machine worked
acceptably well with the local water conditions,
leave the machine at the factory setting. If severe
water conditions are present, and water filters do
not solve the problem acceptably, adjust the
machine to use more water. If water conditions are
excellent, adjust the machine to use less water.
See the Adjustments section.
Note: Water use adjustments are customer
convenience adjustments; they are NOT factory
defects and are NOT covered by warranty.
