Initial Start Up - Scotsman CME1002R User Manual

CME865R & CME1002R

INITIAL START UP

Remote Condenser:
1. Check that all connections have been made.
Ice Maker:
1. Remove front panel by pulling out to unsnap.
2. Remove two screws and the control box cover.
3. Remove the evaporator cover.
4. Remove the left side service panel.
5. Check that the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch
and the Compressor ON-OFF toggle switch are in
the OFF position, on the control box.
6. Locate and open the king (service) valve on the
receiver. Check that the crankcase heater has
been on long enough to warm the compressor
dome (about 4 hours).
7. OPEN the water supply line shut off valve.
8. Inside the control box is the shaft of the timer
and the switch assembly. Rotate the shaft of the
timer and switch assembly clockwise to where the
actuator arm on the micro switch drops off outer
cam into cam slot. See Timer Cam Positions.
9. Move the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch to the
ON position.

10. Observe water fill cycle: The water pump will
be operating and the water inlet solenoid valve will
OPEN. Incoming water flows from the valve
through the tubing, the reservoir fills and excess
water drains out the machine drain.
At the end of the harvest cycle, the water inlet
solenoid valve will close and the water fill cycle is
complete. If the reservoir is not full, turn the shaft
of the timer clockwise into a new harvest cycle;
this opens the water valve again.
The water pump pumps water up to the water
distributor at the top of each evaporator plate,
where water is uniformly dispensed, cascades
down both sides of each evaporator plate and
drains back into the reservoir for recirculation.
11. Check that the water cascades down over the
cube molds and into the reservoir. Note: some
spray is normal when the machine is new.
12. When the reservoir is full, move the
compressor ON-OFF switch, to the ON position.
13. Observe the first freezing cycle: Feel the metal
parts of the evaporator plate; they should feel cold,
and very shortly ice will begin to form. The tubing
will become frosted at the top of the evaporator
plate. Freezing time will be longer than average for
the first cycle. Average complete cycle time is
about 13 - 16 minutes.
