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.
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
into position, pushing may damage the floor,
and/or the legs mounts. Use a mechanical lift,
and set the unit in it's selected location.
Level the unit, using the adjustable leg
levelers: both in the front to back and left to
right directions.
Unscrew it's two screws and take off the front
panel. Remove any packing material
(styrofoam blocks or cardboard sheets) that
may be there.

filters and treatment.
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
