Water
The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine
will have an impact on the time between cleanings
and ultimately on the life of the product. Water can
contain impurities either in suspension or in
solution. Suspended solids can be filtered out. In
solution or dissolved solids cannot be filtered, they
must be diluted or treated. Water filters are
recommended to remove suspended solids. Some
filters have treatment in them for suspended solids.
Check with a water treatment service for a
recommendation.
RO water. This machine can be supplied with
Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity
must be no less than 10 microSiemens/cm.
Potential for Airborne Contamination
Installing an ice machine near a source of yeast or
similar material can result in the need for more
frequent sanitation cleanings due to the tendency
of these materials to contaminate the machine.
Most water filters remove chlorine from the water
supply to the machine which contributes to this
situation. Testing has shown that using a filter that
does not remove chlorine, such as the Scotsman
Aqua Patrol, will greatly improve this situation,
while the ice making process itself will remove the
chlorine from the ice, resulting in no taste or odor
impact. Additionally, devices intended to enhance
ice machine sanitation, such as the Scotsman
Aqua Bullet, can be placed in the reservoir to keep
it cleaner between manual cleanings.
This manual covers several models. The model
number on the product is located in two places, on
the back dataplate and on the model and serial
number tag, located behind the front panel. See the
illustration for the dataplate and serial tag locations.

Water purge
Cube ice machines use more water than what ends
up in the bin as ice. While most water is used
during ice making, a portion is designed to be
drained out every cycle to reduce the amount of
hard water scale in the machine. That’s known as
water purge, and an effective purge can increase
the time between needed water system cleaning.
In addition, this product has the capability to
automatically vary the amount of water purged
based on the purity of the water supplied to it. The
water purge rate can also be set manually.
Adjustments of purge due to local water conditions
are not covered by warranty.
Uncrate and Set Up
Remove the carton, and using part of the carton as
a cushion, tip the unit on its back to remove the
skid and attach the legs or casters.
If installing the optional kit to attach the unit to the
floor, see that kit's instructions. If placing on the
floor without using that kit, position field supplied
furniture glide pads under the unit to reduce floor
scratches from the metal on the bottom of the unit.
Return the unit to an upright position. Do not start
the unit for at least an hour after it has been
returned to the upright position.
Place the ice machine in the selected location and
level it by adjusting the bin leg levelers.
