Scotsman Flaked Ice Machines - Manual (Page 4)

Definitions
Breaker: The top bearing retainer that causes the soft ice to be compressed.
Auger: Stainless steel shaft with one or two spiral flights on it. Forces the flaked ice up
the walls of the evaporator.
Double-Flight Auger: Has two spirals to lift ice, 180 degrees from each other.
Rifling: grooves machined into the inside walls of the evaporator. Helps to guide the ice
vertically.
Water seal: A two piece seal, one rotating one stationary. The rotating part moves with
the auger.
Evaporator: Refrigerated tube of either stainless steel or brass, surrounded by a
continuous copper tube that contains the refrigerant. Also known as worm tube or
freezer.
Direct drive: Refers to the gear reducer with the motor rotor directly engaging gears.
Bearing retainer: Contains the bearing used to support the auger.
General Flaked or Nugget Ice Machine Cleaning Instructions -
see specific model's manual for complete instructions
Mineral scale on the auger and evaporator walls will reduce ice making efficiency and
add extra load to the auger drive system. Regular cleaning with ice machine cleaner will
reduce that load and improve ice output.
1. Switch the ice machine off.
2. Shut off the water to the evaporator.
3. Drain the reservoir and evaporator.
4. Mix 8 ounces of ice machine cleaner with 3 quarts of potable water.
5. Pour the cleaning solution into the reservoir until it is full.
6. Soak the machine with cleaner solution for 15 minutes.
7. Switch the ice machine on and pour the remainder of the cleaning solution into the
reservoir until it is all used.
8. Open the water valve and let fresh water into the ice machine.
9. Discard any ice that was made during cleaning.
