above, the bin cannot be removed without  
moving the unit.  
Options  
• If built in with 1" or more clearance above the  
unit, the bin can be removed without moving  
the unit.  
Casters may be used in place of the supplied legs,  
the kit number is KBC1.  
• If built in with between 1/2 and 1 inch of  
clearance, releasing the top panel's back flap  
prior to placement will allow removal of the  
bin without moving the unit.  
When not using legs or casters, most codes  
require sealing to the floor. Kit numbers to allow  
sealing are KPUFM26 and KPUFM30.

User Manual  
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.  
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.  
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  
Uncrate and Set Up  
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.  
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.  
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.

Plumbing Requirements  
Connect to cold, potable water. A hand actuated  
valve within site of the machine is required. Air  
cooled models have a single 3/8” male flare inlet  
water connection. Water cooled models have an  
additional 3/8” FPT condenser inlet water

connection, and a 1/2" FPT condenser drain.  
Drain Tubing  
Water Supply and Filters  
Use rigid drain tubes and route them separately –  
do not Tee into the bin’s drain and, if water cooled,  
do not Tee the condenser drain into the reservoir  
or bin drain.  
If connecting to water filtration, filter only the water  
to the reservoir, not to the condenser. Install a new  
filter cartridge.  
All models require drain tubing to be attached to  
them. Air cooled models have a single ¾” FPT  
drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. Water cooled  
models have the same fitting plus an additional ½”  
FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet.  
Vent the reservoir drain. A vertical vent at the back  
of the drain, extended about 8 - 10" will allow the  
gravity drain to empty and also keep any surges  
during draining from discharging water out the vent.  
Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice  
machine, as the tubing will have been sized for the  
old model and might not be correct for this one.  
Horizontal runs of drain tubing need a ¼” fall per  
foot of run for proper draining.  
Follow all applicable codes.  
1. Connect water supply to water inlet fittings.  
3/8" OD tubing is recommended.  
Note: This NSF listed model has a 1" anti-back flow  
air gap between the float valve orifice and the  
highest possible reservoir water level; no back flow  
device is required for the potable water inlet.

Use and Operation  
Once started, the ice machine will automatically  
make ice until the curtain is held open by the ice at  
the top of the pile. The typical ice level when the  
machine is off will be several inches below the door  
sill. When ice level drops from use or meltage, the  
ice machine will resume making ice. If a small  
cluster of ice is holding the curtain open, open the  
curtain slightly to release it. The machine should  
resume making ice in a few minutes.  
Tip: Scoop the ice to the front and back of the bin  
to maximize storage.  
There are four indicator lights under the bin that  
provide information on the condition of the  
machine.

If the Water light is on, the machine has sensed a  
lack of water. Check the water supply to the  
machine. The water could have been shut off or the  
water filter cartridges might need to be changed.  
Note: A Component Indicator Light switches ON to  
indicate that the component is operating.  
Note: There are two Curtain Switch lights, SW1 and  
SW2. These single plate models have one curtain  
switch light on all the time, as a curtain switch light  
is ON when a curtain is either open or not present.  
If the De-Scale light is on, the machine has  
determined that it needs to be cleaned. Contact an  
authorized Scotsman service agent and have the  
machine cleaned, de-scaled and sanitized.

Control Switches  
There is a front on and off switch, located in the top  
center of the louvers. Switching this switch Off will  
immediately stop the machine. Switching it back on  
will cause the machine to restart in a timed harvest  
cycle. When that cycle is complete, normal ice  
making will resume.  
Ice  
The cuber drops ice in large sections. That ice will  
break up into random parts as it falls into the bin,  
but some large sections may remain on top of the  
ice in the bin. When removing ice, tap the groups of  
ice with an ice scoop to separate them into smaller  
units.  
Using the ice will help to level it out and allow the  
machine to fill it to its maximum level.  
Heat  
Air cooled models will generate heat when in  
operation. That heat is discharged out the front of  
the cabinet.  
Noise  
The ice machine will make noise when it is in ice  
making mode. The compressor, fan motor(s) if air  
cooled and water pump all produce some sound. It  
is also normal to hear some cracking just before  
the harvest cycle begins. In addition, during the  
harvest cycle the harvest assist solenoid will click  
twice as it pushes the ice out and returns to its  
normal position. The ice harvests as a unit or slab,  
which makes some noise when it impacts the bin.  
These noises are all normal for this machine.  
The controller (located inside the cabinet) also has  
on and off switches, which can also switch the  
machine on and off, but their operation is different:  
To switch the machine OFF, push and release the  
Off button. The machine will shut off at the end of  
the next cycle. To shut the machine off  
immediately, push and hold the Off button for 3  
seconds.  
To switch the machine ON, push and release the  
On button. The machine will go through a start up  
process and then resume ice making.

Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance  
This ice system requires three types of maintenance:  
• Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors.  
• Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin.  
• Clean or replace the air filter and clean the air cooled condenser (air cooled models only).  
It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without  
human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained. Ice machines also require occasional cleaning of  
their water systems with a specifically designed chemical. This chemical dissolves mineral build up that  
forms during the ice making process.  
Sanitize the ice storage bin as frequently as local health codes require, and every time the ice machine  
is cleaned and sanitized.  
The ice machine’s water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year.  
Note: The front On/Off switch must be in the ON  
position during the scale removal and sanitation  
process.  
7. Allow the ice machine scale remover to  
circulate in the water system for at least 10  
minutes.  
8. Push and release the Clean button again. The  
yellow Clean light will be on continuously and  
the machine will drain and refill the reservoir  
repeatedly to purge out the ice machine scale  
remover and residue.  
1. Remove the left front louvered panel.  
2. Remove the top panel.  
3. If the machine is operating, push and release  
the Harvest button. When the machine  
completes the Harvest cycle it will stop. If the  
bin is full (b shows in display) push and release  
the Off button.  
9. Allow the drain and refill process to continue for  
at least 20 minutes.  
10. Push and release the Off button. The clean  
cycle will stop and the display will show O.  
4. Remove all ice from the storage bin  
Note: If unit has not been de-scaled for an  
extended period of time and significant mineral  
scale remains, repeat steps 5-10.  
5. Push and release the Clean button. The yellow  
Clean light will blink and the display will show  
C. The machine will drain the reservoir and refill  
it. Go onto the next step when the reservoir has  
filled.  
11. Mix a cleaning solution of 1 oz of ice machine  
scale remover to 12 ounces of water.  
Ice machine scale remover  
contains acids. Acids can  
cause burns.  
12. Locate curtain, push in on edge of curtain by  
pivot pin to release it. Pull curtain out of  
machine.  
If concentrated cleaner  
comes in contact with skin,  
flush with water. If swallowed,  
do NOT induce vomiting.  
Give large amounts of water  
or milk. Call Physician  
immediately. Keep out of the  
reach of children.  
13. Remove water distributor from ice machine.  
Inspect distributor for restricted orifice holes.  
Be sure all holes are fully open.  
Pour 8 ounces of Scotsman Clear 1 ice  
machine scale remover into the reservoir.
