and performance. They meet or exceed the
standards of agencies like U.L.
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 parts 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 designs are subject to change

Water Quality
All water, including potable water supplied by
municipalities, contains some impurities or
minerals. Water absorbs impurities from the air as
rain and/or as it flows through the ground. Some of
the impurities are solid particles, these are known
as suspended solids, and a fine particle filter will
remove them. Other impurities are chemically
bonded to the water molecules, and cannot be
filtered out, these are called dissolved solids.
Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral
content than the water it was made from. This is
due to the method of making ice. Purer water will
freeze first in the ice making molds. The reason for
this is that anything dissolved in water lowers the
water’s freezing temperature. This concentrates
most of the impurities in the ice machine water
reservoir where they may form hard deposits
known as scale. The machine dilutes the
concentration of minerals by over-filling the
reservoir during the harvest cycle (with the excess
water flowing down the drain). s. Between 2 and 4
pints of water flow into the unit each cycle.
Between 1 and 3.5 pints of that rinses the reservoir
and goes down the drain.
Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick
to the parts in the machine, and will cause
malformed ice cubes. Eventually, built up mineral
scale can shorten machine life.
To keep the machine operating properly, these
impurities or minerals will have to be regularly
dissolved by an acid cleaning, using Scotsman Ice
Machine Scale Remover. Directions for this may be
found in the section under cleaning.
Filters and Treatment
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the
water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can
remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some
methods of water treatment for dissolved solids
include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate
feeders.
RO Water
This machine can be supplied with Reverse
Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be
no less than 10 microSiemens/cm. A reverse
osmosis system should include post treatment to
satisfy the R.O. water’s potential aggressiveness.
Deionized water is not recommended.
Because water softeners exchange one mineral for
another, softened water may not improve water
conditions when used with ice machines. Where
water is very hard, softened water could result in
white, mushy cubes that stick together.
If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of
use water specialist for recommendations on water
treatment.
Installation Overview
The ice machine must:
•
be connected to cold, potable water
•
be connected to a drain
•
be connected to the proper power supply
•
be able circulate air through the vents at the
front.
Note: Do not build in so that the door is recessed.

Installation Notes
Built In Situations: If a finished floor is to be
installed in the area after the ice machine has been
built in, shims the expected thickness of the floor
should be installed under the unit to keep the
machine level with the planned floor level.
Installations on a slab: Use a pump model and
pump the water to the point of drainage. Pump
models will pump 1 story (10 feet) high.
Installations over a crawl space or basement:
Either gravity drain or pump model units may be
used, if there is not enough room behind the
machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will
have to be below the floor.
Note: When installed in a corner, the door swing
may be limited due to handle contact with the wall
or cabinet face.

Electrical
The ice machine is supplied with a power cord. Do
not remove the grounding pin from the cord’s plug.
Do not use extension cords. Follow all codes.
Connect the machine to its own 115 volt, 15 amp
circuit.
1. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is
behind the unit, plug in the unit.
2. Position the unit in the installation opening.
3. Turn on the water supply. Make sure that the
ice maker is plugged in and the power is on.
4. Slide unit into installation opening, paying
careful attention to water supply and drain
connections. Do not kink!
5. Pour a couple of quarts of water into the ice
storage bin; on drain pump equipped machines
the drain pump should start and water should
pump out. Check for leaks.
6. Replace the service access panel.
7. Level the unit as needed.
Installation check list:
1. Has the unit been connected to the proper
water supply?
2. Has the water supply been checked for leaks?
3. Has the unit been connected to a drain?
4. Has the drain been tested for flow and leaks?
5. Has the unit been connected to the proper
electrical supply?
6. Has the unit been leveled?
7. Have all packing materials been removed from
the machine?
8. Has the door covering been installed?
Initial Start Up
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Switch on the electrical power.
3. Push and release the On/Off switch to start the
machine. The Ice Making light next to the
On/Off switch will glow Green.
4.
Water will begin to flow into the unit. When the
reservoir is full, water will start to drain from the
machine. After a few minutes the compressor,
water pump and fan motor will begin to operate
and the first ice making cycle will have begun.
No adjustments are needed.
After about a half hour, ice will fall into the ice
storage bin. The machine makes 24 cubes per
batch. It is normal for the first batches of ice to
melt, that continues until the bin has cooled. It will
take 8 to 10 hours of continuous run time to fill the
ice bin. When the bin is full of ice, the ice machine
will shut off. It will automatically restart when the
ice level falls, either from use or normal meltage.

SCCG50 & SCCP50
Installation and User's Manual
Use
No special instructions are needed for use. Just
take as much ice as you need, the machine will
replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can be stored
in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right
side as a holder. That tubing is also the ice level
sensor; ice will fill the storage bin until it's near to or
on that tube and then the machine will shut off.
The machine can be shut off anytime by just
pushing and releasing the On/Off button. The
machine will shut off at the end of the next cycle.
To shut off immediately, push and hold the On/Off
button in until the machine stops.
What shouldn’t be done?
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is
not ice. Objects like wine or beer bottles are not
only unsanitary, but the labels can slip off and plug
up the drain.
Never allow the machine to operate without regular
cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept
clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least
once per year, and preferably twice. Some water
conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning
of the ice making section, and some carpets or
pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the
condenser.
Note: The Time to Clean light will switch ON after 6
months of use. It will remain ON until the ice
making system is cleaned using the process on
page 13.
Noise:
The ice machine is designed for quiet operation,
but will make some noise during the ice making
cycle. During a freezing cycle, it is normal to hear
the fan moving air and the water pump circulating
water. Ice hitting the bin or ice in the bin can be
heard during harvest.
If ice making noise is objectionable, an appliance
grade timer can be added to the power supply. Set
the timer to turn the machine off at the time(s) of
day when the noise is most objectionable.
Maintenance
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The outside cabinet & door.
2. The ice storage bin.
3. The condenser.
4. The ice making system.
5. The ice scoop.
How to clean the cabinet.
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and
handle as they occur. If anything spilled on the
door or gasket dries onto the surface, wash with
soap and warm water to remove.
How to clean the ice storage bin.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized
occasionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the
bin after the ice making system has been cleaned,
and the storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 ounce of
household bleach and two gallons of hot (95
o
F. –
115
o
F.) water. Use a clean cloth and wipe the
interior of the ice storage bin with the sanitizing
solution, pour some of the solution down the drain.
Allow to air dry.

cap under the reservoir - it's near the back wall of
the ice storage bin.
5. Disconnect the incoming water line at the inlet
water valve.
6. Open the door, push and release the on/off
switch to turn the machine on.
7. Blow air through the inlet water valve; a tire
pump could do the job.

Water Quality:
All water, including potable water supplied by
municipalities, contains some impurities or
minerals. Water absorbs impurities from the air as
rain and/or as it flows through the ground. Some of
the impurities are solid particles, these are known
as suspended solids, and a fine particle filter will
remove them. Other impurities are chemically
bonded to the water molecules, and cannot be
filtered out, these are called dissolved solids.
Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral
content than the water it was made from. This is
due to the method of making ice. Purer water will
freeze first in the ice making molds. The reason for
this is that anything dissolved in water lowers the
water’s freezing temperature. This concentrates
most of the impurities in the ice machine water
reservoir where they may form hard deposits
known as scale. The machine dilutes the
concentration of minerals by over-filling the
reservoir during the harvest cycle (with the excess
water flowing down the drain). About 3 quarts of
water flow into the unit each cycle. About 1 quart of
that rinses the reservoir and goes down the drain.
Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick
to the parts in the machine, and will cause
malformed ice cubes. Eventually, built up mineral
scale can shorten machine life.
To keep the machine operating properly, these
impurities or minerals will have to be regularly
dissolved by an acid cleaning, using Scotsman Ice
Scale Remover. Directions for this may be found in
the section under cleaning.
Filters and Treatment
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the
water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can
remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some
methods of water treatment for dissolved solids
include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate
feeders. A reverse osmosis system should include
post treatment to satisfy the R.O. water’s potential
aggressiveness. Deionized water is not
recommended.
Because water softeners exchange one mineral for
another, softened water may not improve water
conditions when used with ice machines. Where
water is very hard, softened water could result in
white, mushy cubes that stick together.
If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of
use water specialist for recommendations on water
treatment.
Installation Overview
The ice machine must be connected to cold,
potable water; it must have a drain; it must be
connected to the proper power supply and must be
able circulate air through the vents at the front.

Installation Notes
Built In Situations: If a finished floor is to be
installed in the area after the ice machine has been
built in, shims the expected thickness of the floor
should be installed under the unit to keep the
machine level with the planned floor level.
Installations on a slab: Use a pump model and
pump the water to the point of drainage. Pump
models will pump 1 story (10 feet) high.
Installations over a crawl space or basement:
Either gravity drain or pump model units may be
used, if there is not enough room behind the
machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will
have to be below the floor.
Note: When installed in a corner, the door swing
may be limited due to handle contact with the wall
or cabinet face.

Electrical
The ice machine is supplied with a power cord. Do
not remove the grounding pin from the cord’s plug.
Do not use extension cords. Follow all codes.
Connect the machine to its own 115 volt, 15 amp
circuit.
1. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind
the unit, plug in the unit.
2. Position the unit in the installation opening.
3. Turn on the water supply. Make sure that the ice
maker is plugged in and the power is on.
4. Slide unit into installation opening, paying careful
attention to water supply and drain connections. Do
not kink!
5. Pour a couple of quarts of water into the ice
storage bin; on units equipped with a drain pump
the drain pump should start and water should pump
out. Check for leaks and proper draining.
6. Replace the service access panel. Level the unit
as needed.
Installation check list:
Has the unit been connected to the proper water
supply?
Has the water supply be checked for leaks?
Has the unit been connected to a drain?
Has the drain been tested for flow and leaks?
Has the unit been connected to the proper
electrical supply?
Has the unit been leveled?
Have all packing materials been removed from the
machine?
Has the door covering been installed?
Initial Start Up
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Switch on the electrical power.
3. Switch the on/off switch to On.
The compressor will start and water will begin to
flow into the unit. When the reservoir is full, water
will start to drain from the machine. After a few
minutes the water pump and fan motor will begin to
operate and the first ice making cycle will have
begun.
No adjustments are needed.
After about a half hour, ice will fall into the ice
storage bin. The first batches of ice will melt, this is
normal. It will take 24 to 36 hours of continuous run
time to fill the ice storage bin. When the bin is full of
ice, the ice machine will shut off. It will
automatically restart when the ice level falls, either
from use or meltage.

User Manual
Use
No special instructions are needed for use. Just
take as much ice as you need, the machine will
replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can be stored
in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right
side as a holder.
What shouldn’t be done?
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is
not ice; objects like wine or beer bottles are not
only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug
up the drain.
Never allow the machine to operate without regular
cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept
clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least
once per year, and preferably twice. Some water
conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning
of the ice making section, and some carpets or
pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the
condenser.
Noise:
The ice machine is designed for quite operation,
but will make some noise during the ice making
cycle. It is normal to hear the fan and circulating
water during the freeze cycle, and ice hitting the bin
or ice in the bin can be heard during harvest.
If ice making noise is objectionable, a timer can be
added to the power supply. Set the timer to turn the
machine off at the time of day when the noise is
most objectionable.
Maintenance
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The outside cabinet & door.
2. The ice storage bin.
3. The condenser.
4. The ice making system.
5. The ice scoop.
How to clean the cabinet.
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and
handle as they occur. If anything spilled on the
door or gasket dries onto the surface, wash with
soap and warm water to remove.
How to clean the ice storage bin.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized
occasionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the
bin after the ice making system has been cleaned,
and the storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 ounce of
household bleach and two gallons of hot (95
o
F. –
115
o
F.) water. Use a clean cloth and wipe the
interior of the ice storage bin with the sanitizing
solution, pour some of the solution down the drain.
Allow to air dry.

How to clean the condenser.
The condenser is like the radiator on a car, it has
fins and tubes that can become clogged. To clean:
1. Remove the kickplate.
2. Locate the condenser surface.
3. Vacuum the surface, removing all dust and lint.
Caution: Do not dent the fins.
4. Replace the kickplate.
Winterizing
1. Clean the machine as explained on the next
page.
2. Open the door and switch the machine off.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Drain the water reservoir by removing the rubber
cap on the back wall of the ice storage bin.
5. Disconnect the incoming water line at the inlet
water valve.
6. Switch the machine to On.
7. Blow air through the inlet water valve until water
stops flowing from it; a tire pump could do the job.
8. Drain pump models should have about 1/2
gallon of RV antifreeze (propylene glycol) poured
into the ice storage bin drain.
Note: Automotive antifreeze must NOT be used.
9. Switch off and unplug the machine.
How to clean the ice making system
.
1. Scoop out all of the ice, either discard it or save
it in a ice chest or cooler.
2. Pour 8 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Scale
Remover (available from a local Scotsman
Distributor or Dealer) into the ice machine
reservoir.
3. Allow the machine to operate for about 2 hours.
4. Pour hot (95
o
F. – 115
o
F.) water into the bin to
melt the ice that has formed. That ice will likely be
white and frosty looking.
5. Clean the bin liner of mineral scale by mixing
some ice machine scale remover with hot water,
and using that solution to scrub the scale off of the
liner.
6. Rinse the liner with hot water.
7. Sanitize the bin interior.
8. Replace the ice removed in step 2.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly, wash it
just like any other food container.

INSTALLATION
To properly make and store ice, the DCE33
requires access to air, potable water, 115 volt
electricity and a drain. The machine must be
installed indoors, in a controlled environment.
Air: The ice machine uses a fan to take in room air
at the front of the machine through the right side of
the kick plate. It discharges warm air out the left
side of the kick plate. Anything placed in front of
the kick plate will restrict air flow and cause a
decrease in performance and efficiency. The
minimum air temperature the machine will operate
in is 50
0
F., and the maximum is 100
0
F.
Water Supply: The ice machine requires a
continuous supply of potable water at no less than
20 p.s.i.g. of flowing pressure. Static water
pressure should not exceed 80 p.s.i.g. The
minimum water temperature the machine will
operate in is 40
0
F., and the maximum is 100
0
F.
Water Quality:
There is no such thing as “pure” water; all water,
including potable water supplied by municipalities,
contains some “impurities”. Water absorbs
impurities from the air as rain and/or as it flows
through the ground. Some of the impurities are
solid particles, these are known as suspended
solids, and a fine particle filter will remove them.
Other impurities are chemically bonded to the
water molecules, and cannot be filtered out, these
are called dissolved solids.
Ice made by the DCE33 will have a lower
mineral content than the water it was made from.
Purer water will freeze first in the ice making
molds. The reason for this is that anything
dissolved in water lowers the water’s freezing
temperature.
This concentrates most of the impurities in the ice
machine water reservoir where they may form hard
deposits known as scale. The DCE33 dilutes the
concentration of minerals by over-filling the
reservoir during the harvest cycle (with the excess
water flowing down the drain). About 3 quarts of
water flow into the unit each cycle. About 1 quart
of that rinses the reservoir and goes down the
drain.
Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will
stick to the parts in the machine, and will cause
malformed ice cubes. Eventually, built up mineral
scale can shorten machine life.
To keep the machine operating properly, these
impurities or minerals will have to be regularly
dissolved by an acid cleaning, using Scotsman Ice
Machine Cleaner. Directions for this may be found
in the section under cleaning.
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the
water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can
remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some
methods of water treatment for dissolved solids
include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate
feeders. A reverse osmosis system should include
post treatment to satisfy the R.O. water’s
“aggressiveness”.
Deionized water is not recommended.
Because water softeners exchange one mineral for
another, Scotsman does not recommend their use
for ice machines. Where water is very hard,
softened water may result in white, mushy cubes
that stick together.
Scotsman suggests, that if in doubt about the
water, that a local point of use water specialist be
contacted for recommendations on water
treatment.
Electricity: The machine is supplied with a cord,
and may be plugged into a wall outlet. The ice
machine should be the only device using that
circuit.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15
amps.
Drain: There are two DCE33 models:
The DCE33A-1 is a gravity drain model that
requires a drain tube that’s pitched down from the
outlet at the back of the cabinet to the connection
to the sanitary sewer.
The DCE33PA-1 has a built in drain pump that will
pump water up to a drain point, such as a nearby
sink.
September 2011
Page 4
DCE33
TO INSTALL: Plumbing
The water supply and drain should be roughed in
and ready at the point of installation. A wall outlet
directly behind the ice machine will make
undercounter installation easier. All electrical,
water and drain connections must conform to local
codes.
Installation Cautions: Although the DCE33 has
been designed to be serviced in place, in some
cases it may be necessary to pull the unit out for
service. For that reason do not restrict access to
the cabinet at the front - top and bottom.
If a floor is to be installed after the ice machine,
shims the thickness of the floor should be installed
under the DCE33 to keep the machine level with
the floor. Also, allow 1/8" clearance on each side of
the cabinet.
Installations on a slab: Use a pump
(DCE33PA-1) model and pump the water to the
point of drainage. Pump models will pump 1 story
high.
Installations over a crawl space or basement:
Either gravity drain or pump model units may be
used, if there is not enough room behind the
machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will
have to be below the floor.
ALL PLUMBING MUST MEET LOCAL CODES
Note: When installed in a corner, the door
swing may be limited due to handle contact
with the wall or cabinet face.

below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste
receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable.
FOLLOW ALL LOCAL PLUMBING CODES
Poor draining will cause a high rate of ice
melting in the bin.
1. Remove the kick plate and the access cover
above it.
2. Route the water supply, which should be a 1/4"
O.D. copper tube through the back of the cabinet
to the front.
3. Install a flare nut and flare the end of the tube.
4. Flush the water line and fasten the flare nut to
the male flare on the inlet water valve.
5. Route a

" ID (7/8" OD) drain tube through the
back panel of the machine and connect to the bin
drain fitting at the bottom of the bin. Secure with
hose clamps.
Be certain that the drain tube is pushed up well
past the barbs on the drain fitting. If needed to
ease installation, soak the drain hose in hot water
just before connecting to the fitting.
6. Route the drain tube from the ice machine to the
drain/waste receptacle. Note: if using a long
horizontal run (more than 5’) the drain should be
vented at back of cabinet.
7. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
8. Replace the kick plate and the access cover

Reversing Door Swing:
The hinged side of the door may be reversed to
the other side if desired:
The DCE33 was shipped with the door hinged at
the right. The door and hinges are designed for
placing the hinges on either the right or the left
side of the cabinet. Moving the hinges to the left
allows the door to pivot from the left side.
Note: There is a part, packed with the machine,
that is required for this procedure.
1. Open the door and remove the three screws
holding the lower hinge to the cabinet.
2. With the door open enough to see both
screws at the top door hinge, remove the two
screws. The door is now free of the cabinet.
3. Remove the single screw and the hinge
filler plate from the top of the door.
4. Install the other filler plate (shipped inside
refrigerator compartment) onto the top corner
of the door where the hinge was.

AFTER INSTALLATION - OPERATION
Final Check List
1. Has the machine been properly uncrated, and
have all packing materials and tape been removed
from inside the bin?
2. Have the installation instructions been followed,
including connecting the machine to water, drain
and electricity?
3. Has the machine been leveled?
Initial Start Up - DCE33A-1BD,
DCE33PA-1BD, DCE33A-1SSD or
DCE33PA-1SSD
1. Turn on water supply.
2. With unit plugged in, rotate ice machine control
knob to the ON position.
3. Allow the unit to operate for 1 hour, and check
the size of the cubes, if they are not correct, adjust
as recommended on page 18.
4. After the cubes are confirmed to be the correct
size, replace all panels.
5. Locate the nameplate on the control box cover.
Record the serial number and date of start up here
in the manual. Keep the manual handy for future
reference.
Serial Number:___________________________
Date of initial start up:_____________________
6. Fill out and mail the Warranty Registration.
How To Use:
The ice machine is extremely simple to use, just
turn the ice machine control knob to the on
position. The DCE33 will automatically begin to
freeze ice and will continue to do so until the bin is
full. A new machine, warm out of the box, could
take as long as 48 hours to fill and shut off.
Use the scoop to remove ice and place the ice
scoop in the holder provided (do not leave the
scoop on the ice, as it will gradually disappear into
the ice).
What to expect from the DCE33
The DCE33 will release a batch of 8 ice cubes
about every 30 minutes. At the same time the
cubes fall into the storage bin, water will be
entering the ice machine and draining out.
Ice: The ice cubes are tapered cylinders about 1
1
4
"
in diameter at the widest end; taper down to 1"
wide at the top; and are 1
1
8
" high. When the
machine is adjusted properly, there should be a
1
4
"
indent in the base of the cube. The ice will appear
wet when fresh, this is normal. It may also develop
frost on the outside and look cloudy - this is also
normal (the frost will disappear when liquid is
poured over the ice).
Storage: All restaurant type ice machine operate
on this principal: The ice storage bin is not
refrigerated; instead it’s heavily insulated, much
like a picnic cooler or ice chest. If the ice bin were
to be refrigerated, the ice would freeze together
into one very large cluster of ice, and would begin
to evaporate. This would yield ice that is very poor
in quality, and difficult to remove from the machine.
The DCE33 will continue to operate until ice builds
up high enough to contact the bin thermostat
sensor tube, then it will shut off. Models with a
drain pump will occasionally pump out melt water
when the machine is off. The pump will only be on
for a few seconds.
Run Time: The amount of time the DCE33 will run
to replace melted ice is about 6 hours per day. The
amount of time the ice machine will run to replace
ice removed is dependent upon how much is
removed, how clean the ice machine is, and how
hot the air and water supplied to the machine are.
A machine that has been emptied will usually take
about 24-36 hours to re-fill.
DCE33
April 2013
Page 13
OPERATION
How does the machine make ice?
There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest.
1 freeze cycle + 1 harvest cycle = 1 batch of 8
cubes.
The Freeze cycle happens when water is sprayed
against the freezing surface. The Harvest cycle is
when the ice is released and water enters the
machine. A complete cycle takes about 30
minutes.
Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is
pumping refrigerant, the fan motor is blowing air,
and the water pump is circulating water. As the
refrigerated surface absorbs heat from the water
sprayed against it, that heat is moved to the area
where the fan is blowing air. The heat is
transferred to the air, and the warmed up air is
discharged from the ice machine. At the same time
ice is forming on the refrigerated surface (located
at the upper back of the machine). When the
refrigerated surface gets cold enough, the ice
machine’s timer will start. After a few minutes the
timer will stop the freeze cycle and begin the
harvest.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor
is still operating, but the spray pump and fan motor
have stopped. Two other components have been
energized; the hot gas valve and the inlet water
valve. These two valves open and warm up the
freezing surface, allowing the cubes to fall into the
bin. The timer is still turning, and when it gets to
the end of the harvest cycle, the freeze cycle will
restart.
How does the machine use water? The ice
machine begins with a fixed charge of water that is
contained in the reservoir. As the water is sprayed
against the freezing surface, the part of water that
does not contain mineral impurities will freeze and
stick to the ice cup molds. The water containing
impurities falls back into the reservoir. Gradually,
during the freezing portion of the ice making cycle,
the water in the reservoir will become highly
concentrated with mineral impurities.
During the harvest cycle fresh water flows into the
machine to dilute the reservoir water and to rinse
the concentrated minerals down the drain.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
What shouldn’t be done?
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is
not ice; objects like wine or beer bottles are not
only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug
up the drain.
Never allow the machine to operate without regular
cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept
clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least
once per year, and preferably twice. Some water
conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning
of the ice making section, and some carpets or
pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the
condenser.
What should be kept clean?
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The outside cabinet & door.
2. The ice storage bin.
3. The condenser.
4. The ice making system.
5. The ice scoop.
How to clean the cabinet.
Wipe off any spills on the surface of the door and
handle as they occur. If anything spilled on the
door or gasket dries onto the surface, wash with
soap and warm water to remove.
How to clean the ice storage bin.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized
occasionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the
bin after the ice making system has been cleaned,
and the storage bin is empty.
A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 ounce of
household bleach and two gallons of hot (95
0
F. -
115
0
F.) water. Use a clean cloth and wipe the
interior of the ice storage bin with the sanitizing
solution, pour some of the solution down the drain.
Allow to air dry.
How to clean the condenser.
The condenser is like the radiator on a car, it has
fins and tubes that can become clogged. To clean:
1. Remove the kickplate.
2. Locate the condenser surface.
3. Vacuum the surface, removing all dust and lint.
Caution: Do not dent the fins.
4. Replace the kickplate.
Winterizing
1. Clean the machine as explained on the next
page.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Drain the water reservoir. See page 24, Spray
Pump Repair and follow the instructions to remove
the pump hose (step 2, bottom hose only).
4. Disconnect the incoming water line at the inlet
water valve.
5. Remove control box cover and turn the timer
into the harvest cycle.
6. With the machine operating, blow air through the
inlet water valve; a tire pump could do the job.
7. Drain pump models should have about
1
2
gallon
of RV antifreeze (propylene glycol) poured into the
ice storage bin drain.
Note: Automotive antifreeze must NOT be used.
8. Replace control box cover. Switch off and
unplug the machine.

CLEANING
How to clean the ice making system.
1. Open the door and
turn the ice machine
control knob to off.
2. Scoop out all of the ice, either discard it or save
it in a ice chest or cooler.
3. Pour 4 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine
Cleaner (available from a local Scotsman
Distributor or Dealer, ask for part number
19-0343-06 - an 8 ounce bottle) into the ice
machine reservoir.
4. Turn the ice machine control to ON.
5. Allow the machine to operate for about 2 hours.
6. Pour hot (95
0
F.-115
0
F.) water into the bin to
melt the ice that has formed. That ice will likely be
white and frosty looking.
7. Clean the bin liner of mineral scale by mixing
some ice machine cleaner and hot water, and
using that solution to scrub the scale off of the
liner.
8. Rinse the liner with hot water.
9. Sanitize the bin interior.
10. Replace the ice removed in step 2.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly, wash it
just like any other food container.

ADJUSTMENTS
There are three items that may be adjusted: Cube
Size, Harvest Time, and Bin Level. Note: Cube
Size and Harvest Time adjustments should only be
done by a qualified service person.
Cube size control.
The cube size control should only be adjusted to
bring the cubes to the correct shape, the overall
size cannot be adjusted. Try to adjust the cube
size control when the ice machine is in the harvest
cycle, or in the first 10 minutes of the freeze cycle.
1. Open the door and remove the control box
cover.
2. Locate the cube size adjustment screw, and to
make fuller cubes, turn the screw clockwise about
1/4 turn. This will make the freezing cycle longer.
3. To shorten the freezing cycle and make cubes
that are not as full, turn the adjustment screw 1/4
turn counterclockwise.
4. After the next freezing cycle, the cubes should
have responded to the adjustment, if another
adjustment is required, do it early in the freeze
cycle.

Bin’s ice level.
When the ice machine shuts off the ice level in the
bin should be even with the metal tube inside the
bin. If the ice in the bin is too high or low, turn the
ice machine control knob to adjust the bin
thermostat.
1. To lower the ice level, turn the knob
counterclockwise. Usually a 1/8 turn will be
enough.
2. To increase the ice level, turn the knob
clockwise. Usually a 1/8 turn will be enough.
Timer - up to DCE33A-1BD, DCE33PA-1BD,
DCE33A-1SSD or DCE33PA-1SSD
The amount of harvest time may be adjusted. It is
preset from the factory at about 3 minutes, which
should be adequate to release all cubes and fill the
reservoir. If the timer needs to be adjusted:
1. Unplug or disconnect the electrical power.
2. Remove the kickplate.
3. Remove the control box cover.
4. Locate the timer, and loosen the set screw that
holds the two halves of the timer cam together.
5. Rotate one half of the cam to open or close the
lower portion of the cam. More of an opening
equals more harvest time and less of an opening
means less harvest time.
6. Tighten the set-screw.
7. Replace the control box cover and kickplate.
8. Reconnect the electrical power.

The harvest time can be adjusted so that all the ice
is released during the harvest period, with a few
seconds extra for a safety margin. The adjustment
range is between 2 to 5 minutes.
There is an adjustment screw on the surface of the
electronic timer. Rotate the screw CCW to reduce
harvest time, and CW to increase it. It should be
set to match the machine's performance. If the
machine takes 2 and a half minutes to release the
ice, the harvest time should be set to about 3
minutes.
