FOR THE INSTALLER
Location:
Install the machine be installed in a location where
it has enough space around it to be accessible for
service. A minimum of 6" must be allowed at the
back and sides for air circulation on air cooled
models. Try to avoid hot, dirty and crowded
locations. Be sure that the location for the machine
is within the environmental limitations.
Storage Bin:
Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the
carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the legs
into the threaded holes in the bottom of the bin.
Turn the leg levelers all the way in preparation for
leveling later. Return the bin to the upright
position, remove paper covering the bin gasket.
Note: Do not push bin into position, but lift it there.
Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in it, can
cause damage to the legs and the leg mounts.
Install the appropriate bin top on the bin, according
to the instructions for the bin top.
Ice Machine:
The machine is heavy, so the use of a mechanical
lift is recommended for lifting the machine high
enough to install on top of the bin. After the unit is
placed on the bin, line it up so it is even with the
back side. Secure the machine to the bin with the
hardware provided with the machine.
Remove the front panel and remove any shipping
blocks.
Note: When placing 2 of these machines on a
BH801 without the bin top, removal of the 2 service
panels facing each other will make future service
easier:
1. Remove the 2 top panel screws that will face
each other.
2. Remove the 2 service panels that will face each
other.
3. Add a strip of gasket, such as Scotsman part
number 19-0503-04, to the 2 base edges that will
face each other and around service panel space
on the 2 panels that will face each other.
When the 2 machines are placed on the bin, the
gaskets will seal the bin top area and the space
between the machines.

Water Limitations:
An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant: it
takes a raw material, water, and transforms it into
a food product, ice. The purity of the water is very
important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing
product life. This section is not intended as a
complete resource for water related questions, but
it does offer these general recommendations:
1. Check with a water treatment specialist for a
water test, and recommendations regarding filters
and treatment.
2. In most cases, the water used to make ice
should be filtered or treated, depending upon the
water.
There is no one type of water filter that is
effective in all situations.
That is why a water test is
important.
RO Water Limitation:
Water conductivity must be
no less than 35 microSiemens/cm.
