INITIAL START UP
13. Check harvest time. There must be enough
time in the harvest cycle to defrost all the cubes,
but not an excessive amount that will waste
capacity. The length of the harvest cycle is
determined by the timer cam positions.
If needed, adjust the harvest time so there are
about 15 seconds of harvest time left after the last
cube has fallen from the evaporators.
Because harvest time varies with the water and air
temperatures at the ice machine, colder air and
water will result in faster ice making, but require
more time for harvest. Do NOT adjust harvest
time too short or the machine will not harvest
all the ice.
The harvest time is set by: loosening the set screw
on the timer cam, rotating the shaft until the
opening between the cams is either increased or
decreased, and re tightening the set screw. More
of an opening between the high parts of the two
cams = more harvest time.
An adjustment of the cube size control may be
needed after the harvest time has been changed.
Check cube size again.
14. Check Bin Ice Level Control: With the ice
maker in the harvest cycle, place something solid
directly below the transducer socket (located in the
base to the left of the evaporators). The machine
will then switch off at the END OF THE HARVEST
CYCLE. Within seconds after removal of the
obstruction, the ice maker will restart.
The bin level control has two positions: Full and
Partial. Full is about 8" from the bottom of the
transducer socket. Note: The unit will make one
batch of ice when full if switched Off and then On.
15. Wash out the bin with clean, potable water.
16. Replace all covers, panels and screws.
17. Fill out the Warranty Registration and
Customer Evaluation form and send it in. Explain
to the owner/user the significant specifications,
operation, and maintenance requirements of the
ice machine. Inform the owner of the name and
telephone number of the local authorized
SCOTSMAN Distributor, or service agency.
