Water Quality (ice making circuit)

- Potable

The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and ultimately on the life of the product. Water can contain impurities either in suspension or in solution. Suspended solids can be filtered out. In solution or dissolved solids cannot be filtered, they must be diluted or treated. Water filters are recommended to remove suspended solids. Some filters have treatment in them for dissolved solids.

Check with a water treatment service for a recommendation.

RO water. This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no less than 10 microSiemens/cm.

Potential for Airborne Contamination

Installing an ice machine near a source of yeast or similar material can result in the need for more frequent sanitation cleanings due to the tendency of these materials to contaminate the machine.

Most water filters remove chlorine from the water supply to the machine which contributes to this situation. Testing has shown that using a filter that does not remove chlorine, such as the Scotsman Aqua Patrol, will greatly improve this situation.

Warranty Information

The warranty statement for this product is provided separately from this manual. Refer to it for applicable coverage. In general warranty covers defects in material or workmanship. It does not cover maintenance, corrections to installations, or situations when the machine is operated in circumstances that exceed the limitations printed above.

Location:

While the machine will operate satisfactorily within the listed air and water temperature limits, it will produce more ice when those temperatures are nearer the lower limits. Avoid locations that are hot, dusty, greasy or confined. Air cooled models need plenty of room air to breathe. Air cooled models must have at least six inches of space at the back for air discharge; however, more space will allow better performance.

Airflow

Air flows into the front of the cabinet and out the back. The air filters are on the outside of the front panel and are easily removed for cleaning.

Airflow

Options

Ice is made until it fills the bin enough to block an infrared light beam inside the base of the machine. A field installed kit is available to adjust the maintained ice level lower. The kit number is KVS.

The standard controller has excellent diagnostic capabilities and communicates to the user through the AutoAlert light panel, seen through the front panel. Field installed kits are available that can log data and provide additional information when the front panel is removed. The kit numbers are KSBU and KSB-NU. See page 21.

Bin compatibility

All models have the same footprint: 22 inches wide by 24 inches deep. Confirm available space when replacing a prior model.

Remove the carton from the skid. Check for hidden freight damage, notify the carrier immediately if any is found. Retain the carton for the carrier's inspection.

The machine is not bolted to the skid. If strapped remove the strap.

Place on Bin or Dispenser

If reusing an existing bin, be sure that the bin is in good shape and that the gasket tape on the top is not torn up. Water leaks, not covered by warranty, could result from a poor sealing surface. If installing a remote or a remote low side, a new bin is recommended due to the high cost to the user of replacing an old bin when a remote system is on top.

Install the correct adapter, following the directions supplied with that adapter.

Hoist the machine onto the adapter.

Note: The machine is heavy! Use of a mechanical lift is recommended.

Position the machine on the bin or adapter. Secure with straps from the hardware bag packed with the machine, or those supplied with the adapter.

Remove any plastic covering the stainless steel panels.

Remove any packaging, such as tape or foam blocks, that may be near the gear reducer or ice chute.

Remote condenser models have additional installation needs.

The correct remote condenser fan and coil must be connected to the ice making head. Liquid and discharge tubing connections are on the back of the ice machine cabinet. Tubing kits are available in several lengths to accommodate most installations. Order the one that just exceeds the length needed for the installation.

The kit numbers are:

BRTE10, BRTE25, BRTE40, BRTE75

There are limits as to how far away from the ice machine and where the remote condenser can be located. See page 10 for those limits.

The correct condenser must be used:

NH1322R-32NS1322R-32	208-230 ERC311-32

Do not reuse condenser coils contaminated with mineral oil (used with R-502 for example). They will cause compressor failure and will void the warranty.

A headmaster is required for all remote condenser systems. Installation of headmaster kit KPFHM will be required if any of the following condensers are being used:

ERC101-1, ERC151-32, ERC201-32, ERC301-32, ERC402-32

Use of non-Scotsman condensers requires pre-approval from Scotsman Engineering.

Remote Condenser Location - Limits

Use the following for planning the placement of the condenser relative to the ice machine

Location Limits - condenser location must not exceed ANY of the following limits:

• Maximum rise from the ice machine to the condenser is 35 physical feet
• Maximum drop from the ice machine to the condenser is 15 physical feet
• Physical line set maximum length is 100 feet.
- Calculated line set length maximum is 150.

Calculation Formula:

• Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = distance in feet)
• Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = distance in feet)
  • Horizontal Run = hd x 1 (hd = distance in feet)
  • Calculation: Drop(s) + Rise(s) + Horizontal
• Run = dd+rd+hd = Calculated Line Length

Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive prior written authorization from Scotsman to maintain warranty.

Do NOT:

• Route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises.
• Route a line set that falls, then rises, then falls.

Calculation Example 1:

The condenser is to be located 5 feet below the ice machine and then 20 feet away horizontally.

5 feet x 6.6 = 33. 33 + 20 = 53 . This location would be acceptable

Calculation Example 2:

The condenser is to be located 35 feet above and then 100 feet away horizontally. 35 × 1.7 = 59.5 .

59.5 +100 = 159.5. 159.5 is greater than the 150 maximum and is NOT acceptable.

Operating a machine with an unacceptable configuration is misuse and will void the warranty.

Once started, the ice machine will automatically make ice until the bin or dispenser is full of ice. When ice level drops, the ice machine will resume making ice.

Caution: Do not place anything on top of the ice machine, including the ice scoop. Debris and moisture from objects on top of the machine can work their way into the cabinet and cause serious damage. Damage caused by foreign material is not covered by warranty.

There are four indicator lights at the front of the machine that provide information on the condition of the machine: Power, Status, Water, De-scale & Sanitize.

Power No Water On Status Time to Clean Off

Note: If the De-Scale & Sanitize light is ON, following the cleaning process will clear the light for another cleaning time internal.

Two button switches are at the front – On and Off. To switch the machine OFF, push and release the Off button. The machine will shut off at the end of the next cycle. To switch the machine ON, push and release the On button. The machine will go through a start up process and then resume ice making.

Lower Light and Switch Panel

This user accessible panel provides important operational information and duplicates the lights and switches on the controller. It also allows access to the On and Off buttons that operate the ice machine.

Sometimes access to the switches should be limited to prevent unauthorized operation. For that purpose a fixed panel is shipped in the hardware package. The fixed panel cannot be opened.

To install the fixed panel:

1. Remove the front panel and remove the bezel.
2. Spread the bezel frame open and remove original door, insert fixed panel into bezel. Be sure it is in the closed position.
3. Return bezel to panel and install panel on unit.

1. Turn the water supply on. Remote models also open the liquid line valve.
2. Confirm voltage and switch on electrical power.
3. Push and release the On button. The machine will start in about two minutes.
4. Soon after starting, air cooled models will begin to blow warm air out the back of the cabinet and water cooled models will drain warm water from the condenser drain tube. Remote models will be discharging warm air from the remote condenser. After about 5 minutes, ice will begin to drop into the bin or dispenser.
5. Check the machine for unusual rattles. Tighten any loose screws, be sure no wires are rubbing moving parts. Check for tubes that rub. Remote models check brazed connections for leaks, retighten as needed.
6. Scan the QR code found behind the front panel door and complete the warranty registration online or fill out and mail the included warranty registration card
7. Notify the user of the maintenance requirements and whom to call for service.

Maintenance

This ice machine needs five types of maintenance:

• Air cooled and remote models need their air filters or condenser coils cleaned regularly.
• All models need scale removed from the water system.
• All models require regular sanitization.
• All models require sensor cleaning.
• All models require a top bearing check.

Maintenance Frequency:

Air filters: At least twice a year, but in dusty or greasy air, monthly.

Scale removal. At least twice a year, in some water conditions it might be every 3 months. The yellow De-Scale & Sanitize light will switch on after a set period of time as a reminder. The default time period is 6 months of power up time.

Sanitizing: Every time the scale is removed or as often as needed to maintain a sanitary unit.

Sensor Cleaning: Every time the scale is removed.

Top bearing check: At least twice a year or every time the scale is removed. During the course of normal operation, some material buildup on top of the bearing is normal and should be wiped away during maintenance.

Maintenance: Air filters

1. Pull air filter(s) from panel.
2. Wash the dust and grease off the filter(s).
3. Return it(them) to their original position(s).

Do not operate the machine without the filter in place except during cleaning.

Maintenance: Air cooled condenser

If the machine has been operated without a filter the air cooled condenser fins will need to be cleaned.

They are located under the fan blades. The services of a refrigeration technician will be required to clean the condenser.

Maintenance: Remote air cooled condenser

The condenser fins will occasionally need to be cleaned of leaves, grease or other dirt. Check the coil every time the ice machine is cleaned.

Maintenance: Exterior Panels

The front and side panels are durable stainless steel. Fingerprints, dust and grease will require cleaning with a good quality stainless steel cleaner

Note: If using a sanitizer or a cleaner that contains chlorine on the panels, after use be sure to wash the panels with clean water to remove chlorine residue.

Maintenance: Water filters

If the machine has been connected to water filters, check the cartridges for the date they were replaced or for the pressure on the gauge. Change cartridges if they've been installed more than 6 months or if the pressure drops too much during ice making.

Note: Following this procedure will reset the de-scale and sanitize light.

Preparing to Clean:

1. Remove both the front and right panels.
2. Push and release the OFF button.
3. Remove ice from bin or dispenser.
4. Remove the ice chute cover.
5. Remove the water reservoir cover.

Vari-Smart

Optional adjustable ice level control (KVS). When this option is present there is an adjustment post and an additional indicator light to the right of the four indicator lights mentioned earlier.

Power | Status | Water | De-scale Sanitize On Off AutoAlert® Indicator Lights Max Min Adjust Ice Level Norm Low Bin Full

The ultrasonic ice level control allows the user to control the point that the ice machine will stop making ice before the bin or dispenser is full.

Reasons for this include:

• Seasonal changes in ice used
- Planning to sanitize the bin
- Faster turnover for fresher ice

- Certain dispenser applications where maximum ice level is not desired

Use of adjustable ice level control

There are several positions the ice level can be set to, including Off or Max (knob and label indicators lined up), where it fills the bin until the standard bin control shuts the machine off. See the kit's instructions for complete details including special instructions for dispenser applications.

Max Min Norm Lower Adjust Ice Level Bin Full

Rotate the adjustment post to the desired ice level.

The machine will fill up to that level and when it shuts off the indicator light next to the adjustment post will be On.

Note: The maximum fill position is when the arrow on the knob points to the arrow on the label.

Normal Operation:

Ice

The machine will make either flaked or nugget ice, depending upon the model. The ice will be produced continuously until the bin is full. It is normal for a few drops of water to occasionally fall with the ice.

Heat

On remote models most heat is exhausted at the remote condenser, the ice machine should not generate significant heat. Water cooled models also put most of the heat from ice making into the discharge water. Air cooled models will generate heat, and it will be discharged into the room.

Noise

The ice machine will make noise when it is in ice making mode. The compressor and gear reducer will produce sound. Air cooled models will add fan noise. Some ice making noise could also occur. These noises are all normal for this machine.

Reasons the machine might shut itself off:

• Lack of water.
• Does not make ice
• Auger motor overload
  • High discharge pressure.
• Low refrigeration system pressure.

Check the following:

1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or building been shut off? If yes, the ice machine will automatically restart within minutes after water begins to flow to it.
2. Has power been shut off to the ice machine? If yes, the ice machine will automatically restart when power is restored.
3. Has someone shut the power off to the remote condenser while the ice machine still had power? If yes, the ice machine may need to be manually reset.

To Manually Reset the machine.

• Open the switch door
• Push and release the Off button.
• Push and release the On button.
