Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and
manufactured with the highest regard for safety
and performance.  They meet or exceed the
standards of U.L., N.S.F., and C.S.A.

Scotsman assumes no liability or responsibility of
any kind for products manufactured by Scotsman
that have been altered in any way, including the
use of any parts and/or other components not
specifically approved by Scotsman.

Scotsman reserves the right to make design
changes and/or improvements at any time.
Specifications and designs are subject to change
without notice.

FOR THE INSTALLER

The CME650R will fit the following Scotsman ice
storage bins: 

••

*BH550

••

*HTB500, HTB350, HTB250

••

BH800 (with bin top KBT23)

••

BH900 (with bin top KTB22)

••

BH1360

It will also fit these Scotsman Dispensers:

••

CD200

••

IS150 (with adapter kit KADCM1)

••

RS150 (with adapter kit KADCM1)

*These smaller bins are recommended.

A remote condenser and precharged tubing kit are
required to assemble this ice system. 

The normal finish for the machine is enamel. An
optional stainless steel panel kit (SPKCMD-1) can
be field installed. It contains a stainless steel top,
side panels, service panels, and front panel.
