(Compared to the nameplate)

Operating the machine outside of the limitations is

misuse and can void the warranty.

Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and

manufactured with the highest regard for safety

and performance. They meet or exceed the

standards of UL, NSF, and CUL.

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 part 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 design are subject to change

without notice.

Location

After uncrating and inspection, the unit is ready for

installation. It is important that the machine be

installed in a location where it has enough space

around it to be accessible for service, usually a

minimum of 6 inches. Try to avoid hot, dirty and

crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the

machine is within the limitations described.

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.

Install the bin top according to the directions with

the bin top.

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.

Ice Maker

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: Be sure to allow a 6" minimum space

above the top of the machine for service.
