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 is not intended as a complete
resource for water related questions, but it does
offer these general recommendations:
1. Check with a water treatment specialist for a
water test, and recommendations regarding filters
and treatment.
2. In most cases, the water used to make ice
should be filtered or treated, depending upon the
water.
There is no one type of water filter that will
be effective in all situations.
That is why a water
test is important.
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 CUL.
Scotsman assumes no liability or responsibility of
any kind for products manufactured by Scotsman

use of any part and/or other components not
specifically approved by Scotsman.
Scotsman reserves the right to make design
changes and/or improvements at any time.
Specifications and design are subject to change
without notice.
Location
Install the machine a location where it has enough
space around it to be accessible for service,
usually a minimum of 6 inches. Avoid hot, dirty and
crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the
machine is within its limitations for air and water
temperatures.
Storage Bin
Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the
carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the legs
into the threaded holes in the bottom of the bin.
Turn the leg levelers all the way in preparation for
leveling later. Return the bin to the upright position,
remove paper covering the bin gasket.
Install the bin top according to the directions with
the bin top.
Note: Do not push bin into position, instead lift it
there. Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in it,
can cause damage to the legs and the leg mounts.
Ice Machine
The machine is heavy, so the use of a mechanical
lift is recommended for lifting the machine high
enough to install on top of the bin. After the unit is
placed on the bin, line it up so it is even with the
back side. Secure the machine to the bin with the
hardware provided with the machine.
Remove the front panel and remove any shipping
blocks.
Note: Be sure to allow a 6" minimum space
above the top of the machine for service.
