CS55 INITIAL START UP
1. Open water supply valve.
2. Move electrical breaker or switch to the
on position.
3. Remove front panel.
4. Check the cube size control shaft, it
should be in a preset cube size position. If
not, turn it clockwise until the unit comes
on. Note: cube size adjustments may be
required. Start with the shaft in the "mid"
position.
5. The machine will go thru a "dry" cycle,
this will take about 10 minutes. Then the
water fill and harvest cycle will begin.
6. Observe the water fill cycle:
•
The water inlet valve opens.
•
Incoming water flows from the valve
through the tubing to the top of the
icemaker.
•
Water flows around the inverted ice
cube cups and drains through holes into
the reservoir.
•
The reservoir begins to fill up with water.
•
Extra water flows thru the purge valve
for 15 seconds and then the fan and
pump will stop.
•
Water continues to enter the machine
and overflows a standpipe in the
reservoir and down the drain.
This will take about 2
1
⁄
2
minutes. After that
the freeze cycle will begin.
7. Check the operation of the freezing cycle:
•
Compressor is running.
•
Water pump is spraying water through
the spray nozzels.
•
Icemaking begins, the water gets very
cold, and ice begins to form in the cube
molds.
8. Check that the plastic curtain assembly
hangs down evenly in the opening and that
no large streams of water are passing
through.
Note: Some water will drip from the
reservoir as the machine runs. This is
normal.
9. After about 20 minutes the machine will
begin to release the ice, this is called the
harvest cycle.
Observe the first cube harvest:
•
Check the size of the ice cubes.
Note: The normal size of the ice cube has
a 1/4" depression in the wide end.
If the cubes are not filled out, adjust the
machine to make larger ice cubes by
turning the cube size control shaft
clockwise.
If the cubes are overfilled, adjust the
machine to make smaller ice cubes by
turning the cube size control
counter-clockwise.
In both cases, the next cycle of cubes
harvested must be observed, and further
corrections may be needed. See page 11.
If the ice cubes are cloudy, an extreme
water condition may exist. Confirm that
they are cloudy by placing them in a glass
of cold water. If, in the water, they remain
cloudy, you may want to have the water
tested by a water treatment specialist.
If the ice cubes are cloudy only on the
bottom or in the center, the machine may
be running out of water before the end of
the freezing cycle.
10. Test the bin full shut off. To test this,
hold some ice on the bin thermostat
bracket (the stainless steel tube on the left
side of the ice storage bin). The icemaker
should stop within a few minutes of having
ice on that tube.
11. Fill out the Warranty Registration and
Customer Evaluation form, and mail both
to Scotsman.
12. Make sure the user understands the
operation and maintenance requirements
for the icemaker. Leave the service
manual and the name of the local
Scotsman service agency with the user.
