Maintenance
Scotsman strongly recommends regular
maintenance of this ice machine. During normal
operation mineral scale that is in the water supply
will gradually build up on the ice making surfaces.
That build up can cause excessive loading of the
ice making system, which can cause premature
failure. Regular removal of the mineral scale will
lengthen the product’s life.
Suggested maintenance schedule: every 6 months.
Type of maintenance: Scale removal, water seal
check, water reservoir check, bin drain check, air
cooled condenser cleaning and storage bin
sanitation.
Condenser cleaning
The condenser is like the radiator on a car, it has
fins and tubes that can become clogged with dirt
and lint. To clean:
1. Remove the kickplate and front service panel.
2. Locate the condenser surface.
3. Vacuum the surface, removing all dust and lint.
Caution: Do not dent the fins.
4. Return the kickplate and front service panel to
their original positions. Fasten them to the cabinet
using the original screws.
Winterizing
1. Clean the ice making system per the instructions
in the Maintenance section.
2. Open the door and push and release the On/Off
switch to turn the machine off.
3. Turn off the water supply.
4. Remove the back wall of the ice storage bin.
5. Remove drain plug and drain the water reservoir,
return plug to its original position.
6. 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.
7. Switch off and unplug the machine.
