Installation
Water
The water supply for this ice machine has been in
contact with many materials since it fell from the
sky as rain. All rain is slightly acidic, and tends to
dissolve the materials it comes in contact with.
During water’s journey to the ice machine, it has
flowed over and through the ground, been picked
up by a municipal or private pump, forced through
a series of pipes of differing construction and may
have been treated by the municipality providing the
water.
This means that there is no such thing as “pure”
water. All water contains some level of impurity.
There are two ways water carries the impurities:
suspended and dissolved. Water filters can remove
the suspended solids, but cannot remove the
dissolved portion.
Cube ice machines use more water than is made
into ice, the excess amount is used to dilute the
concentration of minerals and “rinse” out the water
system to keep the water scale from clogging up
the machine. That water rinse, combined with
water filters, prolongs the times between needed
water system cleanings.
The water to the ice machine should be filtered.
Water filters vary greatly in ability and function.
Install one that filters out suspended solids to a
dimension of 5 microns or less. The finer the filter
the better, but finer filters may plug-up sooner than
course ones. It may be necessary to add a course
filter ahead of the fine filter to prolong filter life.
The SCE275 is factory set for a water purge that
will work in most water conditions. While the
amount of purge is adjustable, only change it if
necessary.
Note: Water use adjustments are customer
convenience adjustments; they are not factory
defects and are NOT covered by warranty.
This ice machine may be installed in the open or
under a counter. No clearance is required at the
sides or top beyond what’s needed to place the
cabinet into position. Air cooled models blow air in
and out through the grills at the front. Space is
required for utility connections at the back.
The ice machine is not designed for outdoor
use. It must be installed indoors, in a controlled
environment. The air and water temperatures
must not exceed rated limits.
Electrical power is supplied through a cord
connected to the unit. All local codes must be
followed.
Pre-installation:
1. Inspect the place where the ice machine is to be
installed. Check for:
space for the cabinet,
water supply,
drain availability
and electrical power supply.
No extension cords are allowed. The building drain
inlet must be lower than the drain outlet(s) at the
back of the ice machine. The water supply must
have a hand shut off valve accessible when the
unit is installed.
2. Determine the method of installation, is the
machine to be installed under the counter? Is the
drain in the floor under the machine? Is the water
inlet valve accessible?
Unpack and Assemble
1. Remove legs and scoop from storage bin.
2. Remove shipping materials from ice making
area.
3. Place corner posts from the shipping carton on
the floor behind the ice machine. Tip the ice
machine on its back and remove the shipping skid.
4. Screw the legs into the threaded holes in the
base of the ice machine.
5. Tip the ice machine back to an upright position.
