Installation: Product Specications
Location Limitations:
The product is designed to be installed indoors, in a
controlled environment. Air cooled models discharge
very warm air into the room out of the back of the
machine. Space must be allowed at the sides
and back for air discharge. Water cooled models
discharge warm water into the building’s drain.
Space needs to be provided on both sides and above
for service access.
Space Limitations
Note: Although the machine will function, ice capacity
of air cooled machines will be signicantly reduced
with minimal clearance at the sides, back and top.
Some space is recommended for service and
maintenance purposes on all models. 6" of space
at the sides and back are required for adequate
operation. To get the most capacity, locate the
machine away from heat producing appliances and
heating ducts, and allow 12-18 inches of space at
the sides and top for good air ow.
Air ows through the front and out the back of the
machine. Attach a bae kit to the back when an air
cooled unit is installed with minimal side and top
clearance. See the next page for kit numbers.

Water
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 ltered out. In solution
or dissolved solids cannot be ltered, they must be
diluted or treated. Water lters are recommended
to remove suspended solids. Some lters have
treatment in them for suspended 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 lters remove chlorine from the water
supply to the machine which contributes to this
situation. Testing has shown that using a lter that
does not remove chlorine, such as the Scotsman
AquaPatrol™, will greatly improve this situation, while
the ice making process itself will remove the chlorine
from the ice, resulting in no taste or odor impact.
Additionally, devices intended to enhance ice machine
sanitation, such as the Scotsman AquaBullet®, can
be placed in the machine to keep it cleaner between
manual cleanings.
Water purge
Cube ice machines use more water than what ends
up in the bin as ice. While most water is used during
ice making, a portion is designed to be drained out
every cycle to reduce the amount of hard water scale
in the machine. That’s known as water purge, and
an eective purge can increase the time between
needed water system cleaning. In addition, this
product has the capability to automatically vary the
amount of water purged based on the purity of the
water supplied to it. The water purge rate can also be
set manually. Adjustments of purge due to local water
conditions are not covered by warranty.

Plumbing Requirements
All models require a connection to cold, potable water.
A hand actuated valve within sight of the machine
is required. Air cooled models have a single 3/8”
FPT inlet water connection; a 3/8” FPT to 3/8” male
are adapter is available from the local Scotsman
distributor or from a hardware store.
Water cooled models have a 1/2" FPT drain tting
plus an additional 3/8” FPT condenser inlet water
connection.
Water Filters
If connecting to water ltration, lter only the water
to the reservoir, not to the condenser. Install a new
cartridge if the lters were used with a prior machine.
All models require drain tubing to be attached to
them. Air cooled models have a single 3/4” FPT drain
tting in the back of the cabinet. Water cooled models
have the same tting plus an additional 1/2” FPT drain
tting in the back of the cabinet.
Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice machine,
as the tubing will have been sized for the old model
and might not be correct for this one.
1. Connect water supply to water inlet ttings. 3/8" OD
tubing is recommended.
Note: This NSF listed model has a 1" anti-back ow
air break between the water inlet tube end and the
highest possible reservoir water level, no back ow
device is required for the potable water inlet.
2. Connect drain tubing to drain ttings.
3. Route the drain tubing to building drain. Follow
local codes for air gap to drain receptacle.
Drain Tubing:
Use rigid drain tubes and route them separately – do
not tee into the bin’s drain and, if water cooled,do not
tee the condenser drain into the reservoir or bin drain.
Vent the reservoir drain. A vertical vent at the back of
the drain, extended about 8 - 10”, will allow the gravity
drain to empty and also keep any surges during
draining from discharging water out of the vent.
Insulate drain tubing if in a humid environment.
Horizontal runs of drain tubing need a 1/4” fall per foot
of run for proper draining.
Follow all applicable codes.

Electrical
The machine is not supplied with a power cord as the
machine is designed to be permanently connected.
The dataplate on the back of the cabinet details
the power requirements, including voltage, phase,
minimum circuit ampacity and maximum fuse size.
HACR type circuit breakers may be used in place of
fuses. Extension cords are not permitted. Use of a
licensed electrician is recommended.
Electrical connections are made inside the junction
box in the back panel of the ice machine.
1. Remove the junction box cover and route the
electrical supply cable through the access hole
and properly attach the power supply wires to the
leads in the junction box.
2. Install a eld supplied strain relief per code. Attach
a ground wire to the ground connection in the

Final Check List
This unit must be on a separate power supply. Check
the dataplate for the voltage, ampacity and maximum
fuse size and per the dataplate use fuses or HACR
circuit breakers.
This ice machine should be installed on a dedicated
circuit with a properly sized HACR-rated breaker
or fuse. No other devices or appliances should be
connected to the same circuit with the ice machine.
Installing a unit on a shared circuit can cause product
malfunctions or damage to the unit. The proper circuit
size can be found on the unit data tag listed as “MAX
FUSE OR HACR TYPE CIRCUIT BREAKER”. Never
allow the fuse size to exceed the maximum fuse size
listed on the data tag.
The use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
or arc-fault circuit interrupter (ARCI) can lead to
nuisance trips and is not recommended for use on
most appliances including our equipment.
If local codes or other specications require the use
of ground fault circuit interrupters, a properly rated
HACR GFCI or ARCI circuit breaker should be used.
An outlet type GFCI or ARCI is not recommended for
ice machines and other refrigeration equipment due to
more frequent nuisance trips of the GFCI or ARCI.
Always check with your local electrical inspector about
the specic code requirements in your area for GFCI
or ARCI breakers and GFCI or ARCI receptacles.
After connections,
1. Wash out the bin. If desired, the interior of the bin
could be sanitized.
2. Locate the ice scoop (if supplied) and have it
available for use when needed.
Final Check List:
1. Is the unit located indoors in a controlled
environment?
2. Is the unit located where it can receive adequate
cooling air?
3. Has the correct electrical power been supplied to
the machine?
4. Have all the water supply connections been
made?
5. Have all the drain connections been made?
6. Has the unit been leveled?
7. Have all unpacking materials and tape been
removed?
8. Is the water pressure adequate?
9. Have the drain connections been checked for
leaks?
10. Has the bin interior been wiped clean or sanitized?
11. Have any water lter cartridges been replaced?
12. Have all required kits and adapters been properly
installed?

Initial Start Up
1. Remove front panel and evaporator cover. Check
machine for any packing or wires rubbing moving parts.
2. Switch on the electrical power to the machine. Observe
that some of the control’s indicator lights glow and its
display shows O.
3. Open the water supply valve.
4. Locate lower light and switch panel. Push and release
the ON button on that panel. The code display will
begin to blink F.
The purge valve opens, the water pump starts and the inlet
water valve opens to add water to the reservoir. In a few
seconds the purge valve closes and the water pump stops.
Water will ow into the machine until the reservoir is full.
The hot gas valve and harvest assist device will activate,
then the compressor and water pump will start. If it’s an
air cooled model, the fan motor(s) will begin to turn a few
moments after the compressor starts. The display will show
a continuous F. Five seconds later the hot gas valve will
close and the harvest assist device will return to its standby
position. Warm air will be discharged from air cooled
models.
5. Observe the Ready for Harvest indicator light. It may
blink early in the cycle, that is normal. The control will
ignore that signal for the rst 6 minutes of freeze.
6. During the Freeze cycle move the curtain and observe
that the SW1 or SW2 light on the control board blinks
On when the curtain moves away from the evaporator
and O when returned to its normal position.
Note: Moving the curtain during the Freeze cycle has no
aect on control function, but will cause water to ow into
the cube chute/bin.
7. When enough ice has frozen, the Ready for Harvest
indicator light will be on steady. After it’s been on
steady for a few seconds Harvest will begin.
8. The display shows an H.
The hot gas valve opens, the air cooled fan motor(s) shut
o and the harvest assist mechanism is activated. The
purge valve opens to drain some water, when it does the
inlet water valve opens to rell the reservoir. After a few
seconds the purge valve closes but the inlet water valve
continues to ll the reservoir. Harvest continues until the ice
is released as a unit and forces the curtain to open. When
the curtain opens it signals the controller which returns the
unit to a freeze cycle.
9. Check the ice harvested for proper bridge thickness.
The ice bridge is factory set at 1/8 inch. If needed,
adjust bridge thickness. Do NOT make it too thin.
10. Return the front panel and evaporator cover to their
normal positions and secure to the machine.
11. Give the owner/user the user manual, instruct him/her
in the operation and maintenance requirements of the
unit. Make sure they know who to call for service.
12. Have the customer ll out the Customer Evaluation and
Warranty Registration form, and mail it in to Scotsman
or register the unit at Scotsman’s website (www.
scotsman-ice.com) or scan the QR code.

Use and Operation
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 ve indicator lights at the front of the
machine that provide information on the condition of
the machine.

If the Clean light is solid yellow, the machine has
determined that it needs to be cleaned. Contact an
authorized Scotsman service agent and have the
machine cleaned, de-scaled and sanitized.
During normal operation, if the Clean light begins to
blink yellow, the machine is in Preservation mode,
which initiates a timed freeze in response to short
freeze errors. Contact an authorized Scotsman
service agent to service the machine immediately.
It is likely that the machine needs to be cleaned
(de-scaled and sanitized), but may need additional
service.
Note: A Component Indicator Light switches ON to
indicate that the component is operating.
Note: There are two Curtain Switch lights, SW1 and
SW2. These single plate models have one curtain
switch light on all the time, as a curtain switch light is
ON when a curtain is either open or not present.

Control Switches
The On and O switch buttons are front accessible.
To switch the machine OFF, push and release the O
button. The machine will shut o at the end of the next
cycle. To shut the machine o immediately, push and
hold the O button for 3 seconds.
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.
Control Options
There are two optional, eld installed controls that can
be added to this machine.
• Vari-Smart™ adjustable ice level control
• Smart-Board™ advanced control board and data
logger
Adjustable ice level control
When this option is present there is an adjustment
post and an additional indicator light to the right
of the controller switches. 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
Note: Ice will build up in the bin or dispenser at an
angle, the distance set will be from the sensor to the
top of the ice. The sensor position is shown in the
cabinet layout diagrams.
The actual distance between the highest point of the
ice may be closer or further away than the distance
set, depending upon the angle of the ice.
Use of control
There are several positions the ice level can be set to,
including O or Max (knob and label indicators lined
up), where it lls the bin until the standard bin control
shuts the machine o. See the kit’s instructions for
complete details.
Rotate the adjustment post to the desired ice level.
The machine will ll up to that level and when it shuts
o the Bin Full indicator light will be On.
Ice
The cuber drops ice in large sections. That ice will
break up into random parts as it falls into the bin, but
some large sections may remain on top of the ice
in the bin. In a dispenser, this ice will break up into
mostly individual cubes as the dispense mechanism
moves the ice. The ice in the bin will normally slope
down from the right to the left.
Heat
When making ice, air-cooled models will discharge
hot air out the back of the cabinet.
Noise
The ice machine will make noise when it is in ice
making mode. The compressor, fan motor(s) if air
cooled, and water pump all produce some sound. It
is also normal to hear some cracking just before the
harvest cycle begins. In addition, during the harvest
cycle the harvest mechanism may click twice as it
pushes the ice out and returns to its normal position.
The ice harvests as a unit or slab, which makes some
noise when it impacts the bin or dispenser. These
noises are all normal for this machine.

Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance
This ice system requires three types of maintenance:
• Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors.
• Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin or dispenser.
• Clean or replace the air lter and clean the air cooled condenser (air cooled models only).
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without
human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of their
water systems with a specically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral build up that forms during
the ice making process.
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year. Sanitize the
ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine is cleaned and
sanitized.
Preparing to Clean:
1. Remove the front panel.
2. Remove the evaporator cover.
Scale Removal:
3. Push and release the Clean button. The yellow
Clean light will blink and the display will show C.
The machine will harvest any ice, drain the reservoir
and begin to rell it.
4. Observe code display, when it blinks the characters
“A D 1” immediately go to the next step.
5. Pour the below specied amount Scotsman Clear
1 ice machine scale remover into the reservoir. The
unit will circulate the scale remover, then drain and
ush it. This will take 35 minutes, then the machine
will stop and the display will show O.
Note: Using chemicals or dilution ratios other than
what is specied will damage the ice machine and
signicantly aect the performance and life of the ice
machine.
Clean internal parts:
6. Mix a cleaning solution of 6oz of Scotsman Clear
1 scale remover with 9 cups (72oz) of 105-115° F
potable water.
7. In a separate bucket, mix a sanitizing solution of 1.6
oz of locally approved sanitizer or equivalent with 1
gallon (128 oz) of 105-115 degree F. potable water.
8. Remove air lter(s)(if applicable), water level sensor
and housing, water distributor(s), curtain(s), ice
thickness sensor, and splash panel for additional
cleaning.
9. Soak and scrub each part (including the
evaporator cover!) using the previously prepared
solution of Scotsman Clear 1 scale remover and a
nylon brush, and then rinse with water. Save scale
remover solution.
10. Soak and scrub each part using the previously
prepared sanitizing solution. No rinse needed. Save
sanitizing solution.
11. Using a non-metallic scouring pad, scrub spillway
with sanitizer to remove any material buildup and

Additional maintenance:
Air lter (air-cooled models)
Clean air lters when they become visibly dirty. They
will need cleaning more often than the other items.
1. Pull air lter(s) from the front panel.
2. Wash the dust and grease o the lter.
3. Return it to its original position.
Do not operate the machine without the lter in place
except during cleaning.
Condenser (air-cooled models)
If the machine has been operated without a lter the
air cooled condenser ns 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.
Exterior panels
The front, top 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.
Water lters
If the machine has been connected to water lters,
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 when the ice machine lls
with water.

What to do before calling for service
Reasons the machine might shut itself o:
• Lack of water.
• Freeze cycle takes too long.
• Harvest cycle takes too long.
• High discharge temperature.
• Controller self test failure.
Check the following:
1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or
building been shut o? If yes, the ice machine will
automatically restart within 25 minutes after water
begins to ow to it.
2. Has power been shut o to the ice machine? If
yes, the ice machine will automatically restart
when power is restored.
3. Has someone shut the water o to a water
cooled unit? If yes, after the water supply has
been restored the ice machine may need to be
manually reset.
4. Is the curtain open because some ice is stuck
under it? If so, remove the ice and the machine
should start in a few minutes.
To Manually Reset the machine.
• Open the switch door
• Push and release the O button.
• Push and release the On button.
To Shut the Machine O:
1. Push and hold the O button for 3 seconds or until
the machine stops.
2.
Note: Curtain can be removed & replaced anytime the
machine is in a standby mode or when it is in a freeze
cycle. However, removal of the curtain during freeze
will result in water owing into the bin. Removal of the
curtain during harvest terminates harvest at that point
and, if left o, will result in the machine shutting o.

For the Service Tech - R290
Refrigeration service should only be attempted by
a trained trade professional certied to work on
R290 systems.
Critical service items.
This list does not qualify anyone to service the unit. It
is a reminder and checklist for the service tech. Keep
these in mind for R290 service:
• Wire nuts are NOT to be used when changing an
electrical part
• The process tubes are to be used for service
access.
• Cut out (with tubing cutter) refrigeration
components that are to be replaced. Do NOT un-
braze.
• Because R290 can be vented into the air during
service, the venting MUST be in an area free from
ame or spark. It must be near an opened window
or door.
• A sign noting service of a system containing
propane must be attached to the unit during
refrigeration service.
• A combustible gas leak detector must be used
to inform anyone in the area when propane is
present in the air.
Evacuation: It is critical that a refrigeration system
be leak free and internally dry. A thorough evacuation
with a good vacuum pump with a micron gauge
attached is the only way to ensure that the system is
dry and ready for a charge of refrigerant.
Charging: The system is critically charged and the
proper type and amount MUST be weighed in plus
minus 3 gr. (or 11 oz.) from name plate.

Only qualied technicians familiar with R290 refrig-
erant should decommission a machine, as special
tools and containers are required for the removal,
transportation, and disposal of this highly ammable
substance.
• Before attempting the procedure:
* Ensure that all protective gear is present and
used throughout the procedure.
* Make sure recovery equipment and containers
are available and ready for use. All containers
used for recovery must be rated for R290
refrigerant and must be labeled as such.
* Weigh any refrigerant prior to reclaiming.
• Maintain safety through standard operating proce-
dures as outlined on page 20 of this document. Be
sure to follow local, state, and federal guidelines
for proper disposal.
• Do not ll containers more than 80% and do not
exceed the pressure limits of the container. Make
sure the machine to be decommissioned is in
satisfactory working order and that the electrical
components of the machine are properly sealed to
prevent ignition.
• Recovered refrigerant should not be charged into
another refrigerating system or mixed in another
container.
• Make sure to safely transport the refrigerant in line
with standard operating procedures.
• All recovered refrigerant must be returned to re-
frigerant supplier for proper disposal.
• If compressor or compressor oils are removed
ensure it has been removed to an acceptable level
so the ammable refrigerant does not remain in
the lubricant.
