FOR THE INSTALLER: Environmental Limitations

Installation Limitations

The ice making portion of this ice system is
designed to be installed indoors, in a controlled
environment.

Operating the ice machine outside of the above
limitations, or outdoors, is potentially damaging to
the machine; also it is misuse of the machine,
which may 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 CSA. 

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.

Water Limitations

An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it
takes a raw material, water, and turns it into a food
product, ice. The purity of the water is very
important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing
product life. These general recommendations
should help keep the ice maker clean:

1. Filter the water used to produce ice. Water filters
vary greatly in ability and function. Install one that
filters out suspended solids to a dimension of 5
microns or smaller. The finer the filter the better,
but finer filters will clog sooner than course ones. It
may be necessary to add a course filter ahead of
the fine filter to prolong filter life.

2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a
water test, and recommendations regarding filters
and treatment.

Service Limitations

Some space on the sides, the back and the top
should be allowed for service and utility
connections.

A SERIAL NUMBER PLATE IS

FRONT PANEL, NEAR THE
