  • Page 14: Operation: Water

    OPERATION: Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water then goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator. Reservoir overflow, evaporator condensation, bin drainage and water from the sink are all routed to a common drain.
  • Page 15: Operation: Refrigeration

    OPERATION: Refrigeration Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant is compressed into a high temperature gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the condenser. At the condenser (air or water cooled) the gas is cooled by either air or water and it then condenses into a liquid.
  • Page 16: Operation: Ice Vending

    NDE554 & NDE654 OPERATION: Ice Vending When the ice dispensing glass filler lever is pushed, an electrical circuit is made the dispense drive motor which turns, rotating the dispensing vane. When the dispensing vane sweeps the ice over the ice dispensing chute ice is released from the bin.
  • Page 17: Cleaning And Sanitizing

    CLEANING and SANITIZING 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;...
  • Page 18: Sensor Maintenance

    BIN CONTROL SENSOR 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 19: Bearing Maintenance

    If the bearing only needs grease, inject grease into Ice Sweep the bearing using Scotsman grease needle pn 02-3559-01 and Scotsman bearing grease cartridge, pn A36808-001. Be sure to inject grease evenly and thoroughly.
  • Page 20: Auger Maintenance

    NDE554 & NDE654 AUGER MAINTENANCE In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker ALLEN will contain a high concentration of minerals, and HEAD that will result in an evaporator and auger SCREWS becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year.
  • Page 21: Service Diagnosis

    (air cooled). Auger can’t turn. Circuit board has not yet shut unit down. Circuit board has shut ice machine down due to high auger motor amp draw. Check for cause of high amp draw, including bearings, gearmotor condition and scale on auger and in evaporator.

    If it is on, the ice sensors may be blocked. Remove them and check for mineral scale. Scotsman's test box can also be used to determine if the ice sensors or board are defective.
  • Page 24: Removal And Replacement

    REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT WATER RESERVOIR 1. Shut off the water supply to the icemaker. 2. Remove front panel and reservoir cover. 3. Disconnect inlet water line from valve. 4. To remove just the float, push the locking tab at the back of the valve mounting block in and lift the valve and block up and out of the reservoir tank.

    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 26: Removal And Replacement

    Scrub the auger with ice machine cleaner and hot water. Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with extreme care, keep out of the reach of children. 2. The water seal area. Because the auger has been removed, the water seal will have to be replaced.
