Scotsman CS55 - Manual (Page 13)

A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any
company’s business. In order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive
periodic maintenance.
It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always
preferable, and less costly in the long run, to avoid possible down time by keeping it clean;
adjusting it as needed; and by replacing worn parts before they can cause failure. The
following is a list of recommended maintenance that will help keep the machine running with
a minimum of problems.
Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.
General
The periods and procedures for
maintenance and cleaning are given as a
guide. Cleaning will vary depending upon
local water conditions and the amount of
ice used. Each icemaker must be
maintained individually, in accordance with
its own requirements.
Icemaker
The following should be scheduled at least
two times per year on this icemaker. Call
your local Scotsman Service Agency.
1. Shut off water supply to the icemaker.
2. Disconnect the water inlet tube from the
connection at the back of the icemaker,
and check the screen at that point. If very
dirty, carefully pull the screen out and clean
it. Reassemble water line to icemaker.
3. Open the water shut off valve.
4. Unplug the power cord to disconnect
electrical power to the icemaker.
5. Remove the front panel.
6. Clean the air-cooled condenser fins using
a vacuum, whisk broom, brush, or if
needed, coil cleaner. The icemaking
capacity of this machine is reduced by a
dirty condenser coil.
7. Remove the ice from the bin.
8. Remove curtain by pulling forward on the
left end, and then pulling the curtain to the
left and out of the machine.
9. Lift up spray platform, locate stand pipe
to the right of the opening, and pull it out to
drain the reservoir. Replace the standpipe,
spray platform, and curtain.
10. Mix approximately 3 ounces of
Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner with 1.5
quarts of hot tap water, and pour this
solution into the reservoir at the curtain
base.
11. Plug the icemaker back in, and allow it
to operate for at least 20 minutes. Then
switch the cleaning toggle switch to the
"cleaning" position for about three minutes
to release all the ice cubes from their cups.
13. Switch the cleaning toggle switch to the
"operation" position, and allow the machine
to run for 30 minutes or until all the acid
taste is gone from the ice being produced.
14. Pour hot water into the bin to melt the
ice produced during cleaning, and to clean
out the drain. Wipe the interior of the bin
with mild soap and hot water, rinse with
cold water.
Caution: Do not use the ice produced
during cleaning, as it may have a strong
acid content.
15. Replace the front panel.
