FOR THE INSTALLER: Environmental Limitations
Location
After uncrating the machine, and inspecting it for
freight damage, the unit is ready for installation.
It is important that the machine be installed in a
location where it has enough space for service
access. The unit will require removal of the top
panel for some service, so in under counter
applications, the unit will either have to be pulled
out, or the countertop will have to be removable.
Utility installation needs some space at the back of
the cabinet, the minimum
is 6 inches.
On air cooled models, the
air flow must be given
consideration: the unit
takes in air from the front,
and exhausts it through
the left and back panels.
These areas require at
least 6 inches of air
space to exhaust the hot
air.
Water Limitations
An ice machine is a food
manufacturing plant; it
takes a raw material,
water, and turns it into a
food product, ice. The
purity of the water is very
important in obtaining
pure ice and in
maximizing product life. This section is not
intended as a complete resource for water
questions, but it does offer these general
recommendations:
1. Filter the water used to produce ice. That is the
water going to the "potable" water connection.
Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and manufactured with the highest regard for safety and
performance. They meet or exceed the standards of UL, NSF, and CSA.
Scotsman assumes no liability or responsibility of any kind for products manufactured by Scotsman that
have been altered in any way, including the use of any part and/or other components not specifically
approved by Scotsman.
Scotsman reserves the right to make design changes and/or improvements at any time. Specifications and
design are subject to change without notice.
Water filters vary greatly in ability and function.
Install one that filters out suspended solids to a
dimension of 5 microns or smaller. The finer the
filter the better, but finer filters will clog sooner than
course ones. It may be necessary to add a course
filter ahead of the fine filter to prolong filter life.
2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a
water test, and recommendations regarding filters
and treatment.
and set the unit in its selected location.
Level the unit, using the adjustable leg levelers:
both in the front to back and left to right directions.
Unscrew its two screws and take off the front
panel. Remove any packing material (styrofoam
blocks or cardboard sheets) that may be there.

Legs
The legs (when used)
may now be installed.
Either use a
mechanical lift to hoist
the cabinet high
enough to screw in the
legs, or carefully lay the
unit on its back (using
portions of the carton to
protect the back panel)
and screw the legs in.
Note: the legs must be
threaded in all the way
for maximum strength.
When ready, do not
push the machine into
position, pushing may
damage the floor,
and/or the legs mounts.
Use a mechanical lift,
