Introduction
To the owner or user: This service manual is
intended to provide you, and the maintenance or
service technician, with the information needed to
install, start up, clean, maintain and repair this
product.
The SCE170 is an ice machine that produces
cubed ice on a grid type freezing surface. The
cubes form into a cluster that falls into the ice
storage bin where they break up into individual
and small groups of cubes.

The SCE170 automatically maintains the level of
ice by turning on when the ice level falls, and
switches off when the bin is full.
This unit is serviceable in place; the ice storage bin
and hood may be removed from the chassis to
allow service access without removing the ice
machine from its installed position. The
refrigeration system uses HP62 as the refrigerant.

Intake through the right front grill. Exhaust through the left front grill. Do not install where this air flow is obstructed. The SCE170 has a removable cabinet. When installed, the machine should have some extra clearance ( the cabinet may be easily removed when the machine is in place. -
Page 4: Installation
Electrical power is supplied through a cord connected to the unit. All local codes must be followed. Pre-installation: 1. Inspect the place where the ice machine is to be installed. Check for: space for the cabinet, water supply, drain availability and electrical power supply. -
Page 5: For The Plumber
A loop of copper tubing may be used between the ice machine and the water supply. This will allow the ice machine to be pulled out from its installed location without disconnecting the water line. No back-flow preventer should be needed in the inlet potable water line because provision for that is incorporated in this N.S.F. -

11. Has the Customer Evaluation & Warranty Registration form been filled out? Check for correct model and serial numbers from the nameplate, then mail the completed form to Scotsman. 12. Has the owner/user been given the name and telephone number of the authorized Scotsman Service Agency serving that location? 13. -
Page 7: Removal Of The Cabinet
SCE170 Removal of the Cabinet One of the most useful features of this ice machine STEP 2 is the ability to remove the cabinet from the ice machine without removing the ice machine from its installed position. To Remove: 1. Switch the master switch to OFF. Be certain the ice machine has been switched off. -

Page 10: Initial Start Up
Note: In most cases some slush will form in the reservoir. This is temporary and normal. 9. Allow the ice machine to operate for about 15-20 minutes. The ice should be fully formed and should be harvested within a few minutes. - Page 11 This simulates the bin being full of ice and after a few seconds with the curtain open the ice machine should switch itself off. Release the curtain and the machine will restart.

Page 12: Electrical Sequence
SCE170 Electrical Sequence This describes the sequence through a complete cycle. Freeze Cycle (curtain closed): When the ON/OFF/CLEAN switch is at the ON position, power is connected to the primary of the transformer, which supplies power to the: Control board and curtain sensor. If the curtain is closed, the control board connects power to: The compressor contactor coil. -
Page 13: Maintenance And Cleaning
Scotsman recommends that only the surface of the condenser be cleaned with the bin in place. A vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment will extract most loose dust stuck to the surface of the condenser fins. -

Page 16: Water Schematic
SCE170 Water Schematic: Water flows into the ice machine from its inlet connection at the back of the cabinet, through the float valve and into the reservoir. The water in the reservoir is pumped up and through the water distributor tube at the top of the evaporator. From there, the water flows over freezing surface of the evaporator and back into the reservoir. -

Scotsman also recommends that, at the time of initial start up, gauges not be used. If gauges must be used, don’t always check the high side pressure. - Page 32 Refer to it for installation instructions. 3. Remove the box containing the legs from the ice storage bin. CARTON 4. The ice machine is fastened to the skid. The bolts securing the ice machine to the skid screw in from the bottom. To remove: Use part of the carton as a cushion and tip the ice machine onto its back.
