  • 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 20 ///////////////////////////WARNING///////////////////////////// Disconnect electrical power before beginning. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 1. 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 buildup.
  • Page 21 ND550 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 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.
