Stacking

Installation: Ice Storage Bin

Assembly:

1. Attach the legs, or optional casters, onto the ice
storage bin. Units that are stacked should only use
legs, not casters.

2. Be sure that the top edge of the bin has a good
gasket on it.

3. Place the ice machine onto the storage bin.

4. Line up the ice machine, check that there is a
good seal between the ice machine and the
storage bin.

5. If on a Scotsman bin, attach the ice machine to
the bin using the straps and bolts shipped with the
ice machine. Drill two 1/8" holes in the back of the
bin and secure with sheet metal screws provided.
If on another brand bin, follow the directions
included with that bin.

Bin Thermostat Installation:

1. Remove thermostat bracket from package.

2. Attach the bin thermostat bracket to the bottom
of the ice machine using the thumb screws
provided. There are pre-drilled and tapped holes
located just to the right of the cube drop area. 

3. Locate and uncoil a portion of the
bin thermostat capillary tube. Route
the end of the capillary tube into the
plastic tube in the base of the ice
machine (next to the compressor) and
through the bin thermostat bracket.

Stacking:

This machine will stack onto any SLE300 or
SLC400. Note: Do not use casters when stacking.

1. Remove and discard the left top panel from the
lower unit.

2. Remove knock out plug from top right panel.

3. Place gasket material around the top of the
bottom unit’s cabinet & evaporator compartment.

4. Carefully lift the uncrated top unit onto the
bottom unit. Use of a mechanical lift is
recommended for this step.

5. Align the two ice maker cabinets.

6. Secure the top unit to the bottom one with the
hardware and straps shipped with the upper
machine.

7. Locate and uncoil all of the bin thermostat
capillary tube.

8. Route the bin thermostat capillary tube from the
upper unit, through the hole in the base,  through
the lower unit and into the bin thermostat bracket.
Discard upper unit bracket.
