INITIAL START UP
1. Open water supply valve.
2. Move electrical breaker or switch to the on
position.
3. Remove front panel.
4. Check the cube size control shaft, it should be
in a preset cube size position. If not, turn it
clockwise until the unit comes on. Note: cube
size adjustments may be required. Start with the
shaft in the "mid" position.
5. The machine will go thru a "dry" cycle, this will
take about 10 minutes. Then the water fill and
harvest cycle will begin.
6. Observe the water fill cycle:
••
The water inlet valve opens.
••
Incoming water flows from the valve through
the tubing to the top of the ice maker.
••
Water flows around the inverted ice cube
cups and drains through holes into the
reservoir.
••
The reservoir begins to fill up with water.
••
Water continues to enter the machine and
overflows a standpipe in the reservoir and
down the drain.
This will take about 3
1
⁄
2
minutes. After that the
freeze cycle will begin.
7. Check the operation of the freezing cycle:
••
Compressor is running.
••
Water pump is spraying water through the
spray nozzles.
••
Ice making begins, the water gets very cold,
and ice begins to form in the cube molds.
8. Check that the plastic curtain assembly hangs
down evenly in the opening and that no large
streams of water are passing through.
Note: Some water will drip from the reservoir as
the machine runs. This is normal.
9. After about 20 minutes the machine will begin
to release the ice, this is called the harvest cycle.
Observe the first cube harvest:
••
Check the size of the ice cubes.
Note: The normal size of the ice cube has a 1/4"
depression in the wide end.
If the cubes are not filled out, adjust the machine
to make larger ice cubes by turning the cube
size control shaft clockwise.
If the cubes are overfilled, adjust the machine to
make smaller ice cubes by turning the cube size
control counter-clockwise.
In both cases, the next cycle of cubes harvested
must be observed, and further corrections may
be needed.
If the ice cubes are cloudy, an extreme water
condition may exist. Confirm that they are
cloudy by placing them in a glass of cold water.
If, in the water, they remain cloudy, you may
want to have the water tested by a water
treatment specialist.
If the ice cubes are cloudy only on the bottom or
in the center, the machine may be running out of
water before the end of the freezing cycle.
10. Test the bin full shut off. To test this, hold
some ice on the bin thermostat bracket (the
stainless steel tube on the left side of the ice
storage bin). The ice maker should stop within a
few minutes of having ice on that tube.
11. Fill out the Warranty Registration and
Customer Evaluation form, and mail both to
Scotsman.
12. Make sure the user understands the
operation and maintenance requirements for the
ice maker. Leave the service manual and the
name of the local Scotsman service agency with
the user.
