Inspection:

Photo-Electric Eyes
The photo electric eyes used to "see" the ice build
up in the top of the bin cover must be clean to get
a good "look" at the ice. If clouded by mineral
scale, the eyes will cause the ice machine to shut
off and stay off.
To clean the photo-electric eyes.
1. Remove the top panel.
2. Pull both of the photo-electric eyes out of their
rubber grommets.
3. Wash both eyes with a clean cloth dipped in
Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner.

a film of mineral scale on the probe tip.
1. Remove the top panel.
2. Remove the reservoir cover.
3. Pull the water level probe up and out of the
reservoir.

Coupling
Use the grease zerk on the side of the coupling to
add grease once per year.
That concludes normal maintenance. If the fan
motor has an oil plug, it may be oiled after 10
years of operation.
