SCN60
Installation and Use
Introduction
This manual includes information for the
installation, operation and maintenance of the
SCN60 residential ice machine.
The SCN60 was developed to offer fans of
Scotsman's Nugget Ice form the ability to have that
ice in their homes. Previously Nugget Ice was only
available in commercial establishments, where it
developed a strong following because of the
chewable nature of the ice. This machine makes
authentic Nugget ice, using the same process as
the larger commercial machines.

Outdoor Use Notice:
Keep from freezing. Severe damage will occur to the unit if left in or operated in temperatures beyond
the limits listed in this manual. That damage is NOT covered by warranty.
Keep dry. Do not locate in low lying areas where puddles will accumulate.
Provide Shade: Heat gain from the sun will reduce the unit's ability to make and store ice, and
ultraviolet radiation from the sun can potentially damage the unit's plastic components.
Water Supply: Avoid a long run of hose or tubing exposed to the sun. Plastic water supply tubing
should be rated for potable water and include UV protection. Copper tubing is recommended.
Back Flow Prevention: The unit includes back flow prevention, no additional check valve is required.
Drainage: Do Not drain into swimming pool or onto grounds.

Page 2: Product Description
This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in a controlled environment or outdoors within certain limits. The SCN60 is made up of two major systems: the ice making system and the ice storage system. The ice making system is a continuous flow type ice machine, it makes ice when the ice level becomes low and stops when it is full. -
Page 3: Cabinet Dimensions
7 1/2" 11 5/8" Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and manufactured with the highest regard for safety and performance. They meet or exceed the standards of agencies like ETL. 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 parts and/or other components not specifically approved by Scotsman. -
Page 4: Location Recommendations
SCN60 Installation and Use Location Recommendations: The machine can be built into a cabinet. It is an air cooled refrigeration system and so air flows in and out of it through the grill at the bottom front. The grill must not be blocked by any covering door or other obstruction. -
Page 5: Familiarization
SCN60 Installation and Use Familiarization The control panel is visible when the door is opened. It has three indicator lights and two switches. The model and serial number plate is located on the bottom of the control panel box. The Bin Light and Ice Level Sensor are also visible from that angle, as is the Ice Chute. -
Page 6: Decorating Features
SCN60 Installation and Use Decorating Features: The machine ships unfinished, allowing the attachment of a decorator door panel or a metal panel from Scotsman. Door Panel The ice machine is supplied without a conventional door covering so it can be decorated to the user’s preference. -

Page 9: Plumbing - Pump Model
IMPORTANT NOTE: Often an air gap is required by local codes between the ice maker drain tube and the drain receptacle. Water Supply The recommended water supply tubing is ¼ inch OD copper. -
Page 10: Plumbing: Gravity Drain Model
SCN60 Installation and Use Plumbing: Gravity Drain Model Caution: Restrictions in the drain system to the machine will cause water to back up into the ice storage bin and melt the ice. Gravity drain tubing must be vented, have no kinks and slope to the building drain. -
Page 11: Electrical And Start Up
The bin holds about 20 lb of ice when full. Ice level control The ice level control for the SCN60 is an ultrasonic sensor, located above the ice storage area. It is automatic and there is no adjustment to make. -
Page 12: Use
SCN60 Installation and Use No special instructions are needed for use. Just take as much ice as you need, the machine will replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can be stored in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right side as a holder. -
Page 13: Condenser Cleaning
SCN60 Installation and Use Maintenance Scotsman strongly recommends regular maintenance of this ice machine. During normal operation mineral scale that is in the water supply will gradually build up on the ice making surfaces. That build up can cause excessive loading of the ice making system, which can cause premature failure. -
Page 14: Removing Scale From Ice Making System.
SCN60 Installation and Use How to remove scale from the ice making system. Cleaning this machine involves adding a solution of scale remover and water to the ice machine and continuing to add it as it makes ice. The scale remover must be diluted to the correct ratio. - Page 15 SCN60 Installation and Use 6. Locate blue float valve on/off lever. Move lever up about half way to shut water off. Clean Check Time to Reset Making Water Clean 7. Locate drain plug and pull the drain plug out to drain the reservoir and evaporator.

Page 28: Ice Capacity
SCN60 Service Ice Capacity The rate of ice making is relatively fixed, it depends upon the heat load and the ambient temperature the machine is operating in. As either increase the amount of ice made will decrease. The machine will work to keep the ice bin full. A full bin of ice is when the ice level is even with the top of the front of the bin. -
