Initial Start Up - Scotsman Prodigy ELITE A Series Installation And User Manual

MC0322 through MC1030
Air and Water Cooled User Manual

Initial Start Up

1. Remove front panel and evaporator cover. Check
machine for any packing or wires rubbing moving
parts.
2. Switch on the electrical power to the machine.
Observe that some of the control's indicator lights
glow and its display shows O.
3. Open the water supply valve.
4. Locate lower light and switch panel. Push and
release the ON button on that panel. The code
display will begin to blink F.
The purge valve opens, the water pump starts and
the inlet water valve opens to add water to the
reservoir. In a few seconds the purge valve closes
and the water pump stops. Water will flow into the
machine until the reservoir is full. The hot gas valve
and harvest assist device will activate, then the
compressor and water pump will start. If it's an air
cooled model, the fan motor(s) will begin to turn a few
moments after the compressor starts. The display
will show a continuous F. Five seconds later the hot
gas valve will close and the harvest assist device
will return to its standby position. Warm air will be
discharged from air cooled models.
5. Observe the Ready for Harvest indicator light. It
may blink early in the cycle, that is normal. The
control will ignore that signal for the first 6 minutes
of freeze.
6. During the Freeze cycle move the curtain and
observe that the SW1 or SW2 light on the control
board blinks On when the curtain moves away
from the evaporator and Off when returned to its
normal position.
Note: Moving the curtain during the Freeze cycle has
no affect on control function, but will cause water to
flow into the cube chute/bin.
7. When enough ice has frozen, the Ready for
Harvest indicator light will be on steady. After it's
been on steady for a few seconds Harvest will
begin.
8. The display shows an H.
The hot gas valve opens, the air cooled fan motor(s)
shut off and the harvest assist mechanism is
activated. The purge valve opens to drain some water,
when it does the inlet water valve opens to refill the
reservoir. After a few seconds the purge valve closes
but the inlet water valve continues to fill the reservoir.
Harvest continues until the ice is released as a unit
and forces the curtain to open. When the curtain
opens it signals the controller which returns the unit to
a freeze cycle.
9. Check the ice harvested for proper bridge
thickness. The ice bridge is factory set at 1/8 inch.
If needed, adjust bridge thickness. Do NOT make
it too thin.
10. Return the front panel and evaporator cover to
their normal positions and secure to the machine.
11. Instruct the user in the operation of the machine
and its maintenance requirements.
12. Fill out and mail the warranty registration form or
register it on line at Scotsman-ice.com.
Typical Ice Making Cycle Times (minutes).
Listed times are for clean machines in proper
installations. Cycle length at startup will be longer until
the system stabilizes.
