Installation
Installation should be done by an experienced ice
machine installer. To locate one, call the number on
the back of this manual or go to Scotsman’s website
www.scotsman-ice.com to identify a local distributor or
service company.
The machine will require power, water and drain.
Locate the water supply fitting on the lower back of
the cabinet and obtain the correct fitting to connect
the water supply.
Plumbing Fittings:
•
Potable water inlet: 3/8 male flare.
•
Cabinet drain: 3/4 FPT.
All models:
Note: Wall mounting limits access to the utility
connections which are at the back bottom of
the machine. Pre-plumbing the water and drain
is required so that stubs are available for final
connection to water and drain.
Connect the potable water supply tube to the 3/8
inch male flare inlet at the bottom back of the unit.
Water filters may be used but are not required. Note
that activated carbon or charcoal water filters are
used for taste and odor problems but also take out
any chlorine that the local water agency may have
added for purification. That can require more frequent
sanitization of the equipment.
Connect drain tubing to the 3/4 inch FPT central drain
fitting at the back of the cabinet. Use 3/4 inch rigid
tubing, use material to meet local codes. The drain
basin in the machine will act as an internal vent, no
additional vent should be required unless there is a
very long horizontal run. Drain tubing must pitch down
1/4 inch per foot to the building drain. Insulation of
drain tubing is recommended for most environments.

Electrical Supply - 115 volt models
Plug the unit into a dedicated 15 amp outlet. The unit
must be the only device on the circuit. Confirm the
outlet is properly grounded and is in good condition.
Worn outlets should be replaced as they can cause
erratic operation of equipment. Do not use an
extension cord. Do not cut off the ground plug on the
power cord.
Ground fault outlets are not recommended. If ground
fault is required a ground fault breaker should be
used.
Use the services of a licensed electrician when
needed and conform to local and national codes.
Position the unit in its final location.
Level the unit front to back and left to right.
