Location Limitations
This ice system is made up of three parts, the ice making machine, or head; the remote condenser; and the
interconnecting tubing. The ice making machine must be installed indoors, in a controlled environment. Space
must be provided near the machine for service access. The remote condenser may be installed above or below
the ice machine, per the limits stated later in this manual. The remote condenser may be installed outdoors
within the temperature limits listed below. The interconnecting tubing must be installed per the directions stated
in this manual, and the amount of tubing exposed to uncontrolled temperatures must be minimized.
Space Limitations
Although the machine will function with no clearance to the top and sides, some space must be allowed for
service access. Building the machine in with no access will cause higher service cost, in many cases this extra
cost may not be covered by warranty.

Central Condenser Coils
The ice machine may be connected to a central condenser coil. The requirements are:
• Coil – not previously used with mineral oil system. Virgin coil preferred.
• Correct size (internal volume) and capacity (BTUH).
• Includes a headmaster valve for discharge pressure control. Headmaster kit available for certain MAC
condensers, kit number is RCKCME6GX.
• Fan motor on all the time or controlled to be on whenever the ice machine is operating.
• Non-Scotsman condensers must have prior Scotsman Engineering approval for warranty coverage to be in
effect.
Precharged tubing kits:
The ice making head’s and the remote condenser’s refrigeration circuits must be connected. They are
designed to be connected using precharged refrigerant tubing, supplied in kits of liquid and discharge tubes.
Several lengths are available, order the one that just exceeds the length needed for the site.
