    FM1202R MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 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;...

    2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe located in the water reservoir. At least twice a year, the probe should be removed from the reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of mineral build-up.
  • Page 24 FM1202R MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING In some areas the water supply to the ice maker will have a great deal of minerals in it, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year.
  • Page 25: Service Diagnosis

    Check the water level, restore/adjust if low. b. Check the water level sensor, clean if dirty, (see maintenance). c. Check the circuit board, see next page. If the machine does not start, see the next page. STATUS: NOTHING OPERATES November 1992 Page 25 FM1202R...

    7. Reverse to reassemble: specific tools and materials are required to install properly. a. Add food grade grease such as Scotsman part number 19-0569-01 to the seal area before installing on the auger. b. Check the seal to shaft areas for cuts, or rough spots: none are permitted.
  • Page 31: Auger

    Scrub the auger with ice machine cleaner and hot water. ///////////////////////////WARNING////////////////////////////// Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with extreme care, keep out of the reach of children. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// b. The water seal area. Because the auger has been removed, the water seal will have to be replaced.
  • Page 32: Water Seal

    4. Place a small bead of food grade silastic sealant (such as 732 RTV or Scotsman part number 19-0529-01) on the area of the auger where the water seal is to be mounted.
  • Page 33: Refrigeration System

    There are various mechanical devices that may be used to recycle refrigerant at the field level, however, Scotsman requires that any refrigerant placed into a Scotsman ice machine meet ARI spec 700-88. Reclaim programs are available thru most refrigerant wholesalers.
  • Page 34: Evaporator

    FM1202R REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: Evaporator Charging Procedures Extra care must be taken when recharging this remote system. No liquid refrigerant may be placed in the system at the compressor. To Replace the Evaporator: (Assuming all the steps for removal of the thrust bearing, breaker, auger, and water seal have been performed.)

    FM1202R CIRCUIT BOARD TESTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING TESTER MODEL FC1 (Optional, order part no. A33942-001) (These instructions assume that the unit will not run, and prior investigation of electric power, controls, and mechanical parts indicates that the electronic circuit may be at fault.) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////WARNING///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// These procedures require the machine to be connected to the power supply.
  • Page 37 CIRCUIT BOARD TESTING Water Level 1. Unplug “water sen” connector from control board. 2. Plug “water sen” connector from Scotsman tester into circuit board. WATER SENS SWITCH TO “NO WATER” a. Move “water” switch on tester to No Water position. The No Water light on the circuit board should go ON.
