Introduction The design of this modular cuber is the result of years of experience and testing. Standard features include front accessible indicator lights and on-off switches that provide the user with fast access to critical information and easy operational control. When desired, optional controls can add features like ultrasonic bin ice level sensing, seven day programmable bin ice level setting, remote lock out...
C1448, C1848, C2148W Air and Water Cooled User Manual Installation: Product Specifications Location Limitations: The product is designed to be installed indoors, in a controlled environment. Air cooled models discharge very warm air into the room out the back. Space must be allowed at the left side and back for air intake and discharge.
Other Bins & Applications: Note the drop zone and ultrasonic sensor locations in the illustrations. Scotsman ice systems are designed and manufactured with the highest regard for safety and performance. They meet or exceed the standards of UL and NSF.

Water The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and ultimately on the life of the product. There are two ways water can contain impurities: in suspension or in solution. Suspended solids can be filtered out.
C1448, C1848, C2148W Air and Water Cooled User Manual Panel Removal Locate and loosen the two screws at the front edge of the top panel. Pull the front panel out at the top until it clears the top panel. Lift the front panel up and off the machine. Remove two screws at front edge of top panel.
Uncrate and Set Up Begin with unpacking the ice storage bin. Remove the carton, and using part of the carton as a cushion, tip the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the legs or casters. Note: Turn the leg levelers in all the way and adjust after the ice machine is on top and in its selected location.
C1448, C1848, C2148W Air and Water Cooled User Manual Plumbing Requirements All models require connection to cold, potable water. A hand actuated valve within site of the machine is required. Air cooled models have a single 3/8” FPT inlet water connection, a 3/8” FPT to 3/8”...
Drains All models require drain tubing to be attached to them. Air cooled models have a single ¾” FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. Water cooled models have the same fitting plus an additional ½” FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice machine, as the tubing will have been sized for the old model and might not be correct for this one.
C1448, C1848, C2148W Air and Water Cooled User Manual Electrical The machine is not supplied with a power cord, one must either be field installed or the machine hard-wired. The dataplate on the back of the cabinet details the power requirements, including voltage, phase, minimum circuit ampacity and maximum fuse size.
Final Check List After connections, Wash out the bin. If desired, the interior of the bin could be sanitized. Locate the ice scoop (if supplied) and have it available for use when needed. Final Check List: Is the unit located indoors in a controlled environment? Is the unit located where it can receive adequate cooling air?
C1448, C1848, C2148W Air and Water Cooled User Manual Initial Start Up Remove front panel. Check machine for any packing or wires rubbing moving parts. Note location of control board in upper left corner of the machine’s front. Remove tape securing each curtain to its evaporator.
Adjustments Bridge Thickness - For Service Tech Only Push and hold Off till the machine stops. Remove evaporator cover. Remove curtain. Use a box wrench and rotate the bridge thickness adjustment screw in 1/8 turn increments CW to increase bridge thickness. Rotate CCW to decrease bridge thickness.
