Scotsman SCN60 manuale d’uso

Introduction This manual includes information for the installation, operation and maintenance of the SCN60 residential ice machine. The SCN60 was developed to offer fans of Scotsman’s Nugget Ice form the ability to have that ice in their homes. Previously Nugget Ice was only available in commercial establishments, where it developed a strong foll[...]

Product Description: This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in a controlled environment or outdoors within certain limits. The SCN60 is made up of two major systems: the ice making system and the ice storage system. The ice making system is a continuous flow type ice machine, it makes ice when the ice level becomes low and stops when it i[...]

Cabinet Dimensions May 2011 Page 3 SCN60 Installation and Use Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and manufactured with the highest regard for safety and performance. They meet or exceed the standards of agencies like ETL. Scotsman assumes no liability or responsibility of any kind for products manufactured by Scotsman that have been altered in any w[...]

Location Recommendations: The machine can be built into a cabinet. It is an air cooled refrigeration system and so air flows in and out of it through the grill at the bottom front. The grill must not be blocked by any covering door or other obstruction. There are two models, one is a gravity drain type and it must have a building drain connection b[...]

Familiarization The control panel is visible when the door is opened. It has three indicator lights and two switches. The model and serial number plate is located on the bottom of the control panel box. The Bin Light and Ice Level Sensor are also visible from that angle, as is the Ice Chute. The Scoop Holder is located on the right side of the ice [...]

Decorating Features: The machine ships unfinished, allowing the attachment of a decorator door panel or a metal panel from Scotsman. Door Panel The ice machine is supplied without a conventional door covering so it can be decorated to the user ’s preference. Scotsman offers several coverings including white, black and stainless steel. In addition[...]

Door Swing The door swing is reversible. The door can be attached to open with hinges on the left or right using new hinge brackets shipped loose in the ice bin. Retain all screws for re-use. To change: 1. Remove hinge cover and innermost screw holding each hinge to cabinet, loosen the other. 2. Slide hinges to the side and remove door from cabinet[...]

Plumbing - Pump Model Drains There are two types of ice machine models, one that drains by gravity and one that has an internal drain pump. Drain Pump Model drain installation 1. Locate the coil of 3/8” ID plastic drain tubing secured to the back of the unit. 2. Route the plastic drain tube from the back of the unit to the drain connection point.[...]

Plumbing: Gravity Drain Model Caution: Restrictions in the drain system to the machine will cause water to back up into the ice storage bin and melt the ice. Gravity drain tubing must be vented, have no kinks and slope to the building drain. Air gaps are typically required by local code. 1. Place the ice machine in front of the installation opening[...]

Electrical and Start Up The ice machine is supplied with a power cord. Do not remove the grounding pin from the cord ’s plug. Do not use extension cords. Follow all codes. Connect the machine to its own 115 volt, 15 amp circuit. 1. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the unit, plug in the unit. 2. Position the unit in the install[...]

Use No special instructions are needed for use. Just take as much ice as you need, the machine will replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can be stored in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right side as a holder. The machine can be shut off anytime by just pushing and releasing the On/Off button. What shouldn’t be done? Never keep any[...]

Maintenance Scotsman strongly recommends regular maintenance of this ice machine. During normal operation mineral scale that is in the water supply will gradually build up on the ice making surfaces. That build up can cause excessive loading of the ice making system, which can cause premature failure. Regular removal of the mineral scale will lengt[...]

How to remove scale from the ice making system. Cleaning this machine involves adding a solution of scale remover and water to the ice machine and continuing to add it as it makes ice. The scale remover must be diluted to the correct ratio. A squirt bottle will make adding the scale remover much easier when the unit is built in. If not built in, re[...]

6. Locate blue float valve on/off lever. Move lever up about half way to shut water off. 7. Locate drain plug and pull the drain plug out to drain the reservoir and evaporator. When draining is complete, return the plug to its original position. 8. Obtain pre-mixed Scotsman Clear 1 Scale remover solution (with squirt bottle) or mix a solution of Cl[...]

11. Press and HOLD both the Clean-Reset and On/Off buttons for 5 seconds. The Time to Clean light will blink on and off. 12. The auger motor alone will be operating for 10 minutes, after that the compressor will start and in about 5-8 minutes the machine will start to make ice. The Time to Clean light will now glow steady until the clean cycle is c[...]

Control System The control system operates the machine. The controller operates on 12 volts AC, supplied by the transformer. It uses an ultrasonic ice sensor to measure ice level. The ultrasonic system transmits sound waves into the ice storage bin and measures the return time, when the return time is longer than the preset time for bin full, the c[...]

Water System The auger is driven at about 11 RPM by the gear reducer. The gear reducer is a sealed component and does not require lubrication, as it contains a charge of grease. The auger motor drives a set of gears that all together reduce the motor speed to the 11 RPM output speed and correspondingly increasing the torque. The output shaft of the[...]

Storage The ice storage system is made up of a plastic lined ice storage bin, covered by an insulated top panel and an insulated swing open door with gasket. The ice storage bin is foamed in place, so the side panels are not removable. May 2011 Page 6 SCN60 Service Ice Making Check Wat e r Time to Clean Clean Reset[...]

Ice Capacity The rate of ice making is relatively fixed, it depends upon the heat load and the ambient temperature the machine is operating in. As either increase the amount of ice made will decrease. The machine will work to keep the ice bin full. A full bin of ice is when the ice level is even with the top of the front of the bin. When the ice le[...]
