The FM1500R is designed to fit the following
Scotsman storage bins:

B590 and extensions (with bin top KBT18)
HTB500 or BH500
BH800 using bin top KBT15
BH1000 using bin top KBT16

When installing a new system, check to be
sure that you have everything you need
before beginning:

Correct Condenser
Correct Bin
Correct Ice Machine
Correct Bin Top (if required)
Correct Precharged line set
Fan Relay kit (if needed)
All kits, legs, and information required for the

specific job.

FOR THE INSTALLER

SPECIFICATIONS: ICEMAKER

+ Minimum Circuit Ampacity is used to determine wire size per National Electric Code.
The standard finish is enamel sandalwood. A stainless steel panel kit, SPKCMD-1, may be field
installed to convert the unit to a stainless steel finish.
