Page 19: Maintenance And Cleaning
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;... -

Page 22: Service Diagnosis: Condition - No Ice Being Produced
FME1500R SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced A. Check: Voltage to the unit, restore it if there is none. Compare to the nameplate. B. Check: The master switch, switch ON if off. C. Check: The reset switch ( high pressure): depress and release the switch. If the unit still does not start, check the high side pressure. - Page 23 If the bin empty light is still OFF, check the circuit board. 1. Unplug "opto trans" and "LED" connectors from the circuit board. 2. Plug "opto trans" and "LED" connectors from the Scotsman Electronic Control Tester Model NM1 into the circuit board (see page end of manual).

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 29: Removal And Replacement: Auger
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. b. The water seal area. Because the auger has been removed, the water seal will have to be replaced. -
