Scotsman Ice SCCG30 manual

Introduction: This ice machine is the result of Scotsman ’s decades of experience as an industry leader in the design and manufacture of both commercial and residential ice machines. This manual includes the information needed to install, start up and maintain the ice machine. Note any Caution or Warning indicators, as they provide notice of pote[...]

Specifications This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in a controlled environment. It can be used in a wide variety of environmental conditions, but there are limits. Use outside of the listed limitations is misuse and will void the warranty. Air temperature limits: The ice machine will operate adequately within the limits, but functions [...]

Air flow The machine takes in room temperature air at the lower right front and forces warm air out the lower left front. Restricting the airflow will adversely affect the ability of the ice machine to make ice. Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and manufactured with the highest regard for safety and performance. They meet or exceed the standards o[...]

Water Quality All water, including potable water supplied by municipalities, contains some impurities or minerals. Water absorbs impurities from the air as rain and/or as it flows through the ground. Some of the impurities are solid particles, these are known as suspended solids, and a fine particle filter will remove them. Other impurities are che[...]

Door Covering 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, a custom built panel can be placed onto the door. Door Panel Attachment To attach a Scotsman supplied panel: Note: If[...]

Custom Panel A custom panel of wood or other material not exceeding 15 lb can be attached to the door. Attachment is from the ice side of the door. Holes are provided in the door for this purpose. To create and attach a custom panel: • Panel width: 14 7/8” • Panel height: Between 29 3/8” and 30 3/8”. • Panel thickness: 5/8” to ¾” 1[...]

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

Installation: Water & Drain The recommended water supply tubing is ¼ inch OD copper. Stainless steel flex or reinforced PVC tube may also be used. Install an easily accessible shut-off valve between the supply and the unit. This shut-off valve should not be installed behind the unit. Note: Do not use self-piercing type valves. 1. Remove the fr[...]

Gravity Drain 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. Adjust levelin[...]

Electrical & 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 insta[...]

Cube Size Adjustment The size of the ice cubes is determined by how long the ice machine is in the freezing cycle. That is controlled by the cube size thermostat. The cube size thermostat 's sensing portion is attached to the suction tube, near the outlet of the evaporator. As the machine makes ice, the temperature of the suction tubing falls.[...]

Harvest Time Adjustment The harvest time can be adjusted so that all the ice is released during the harvest period, with a few seconds extra for a safety margin. The adjustment range is between 2 to 5 minutes. There is an adjustment screw on the surface of the electronic timer. Rotate the screw CCW to reduce harvest time, and CW to increase it. It [...]

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 moving the On/Off switch to OFF.. The machine will shut off immediately. What shouldn?[...]

How to clean the condenser and winterize. Condenser cleaning The condenser is like the radiator on a car, it has fins and tubes that can become clogged with dirt and lint. To clean: 1. Remove the kickplate and front service panel. 2. Locate the condenser surface. 3. Vacuum the surface, removing all dust and lint. Caution: Do not dent the fins. 4. R[...]

How to remove scale from the ice making system. 1. Scoop out all of the ice, either discard it or save it in an ice chest or cooler. 2. Switch the machine Off. 3. Pour 8 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Scale Remover (available from a local Scotsman Distributor or Dealer) into the ice machine reservoir. 4. Switch the machine On. 5. Operate the machin[...]

Water System The water system consists of a water pump, inlet water solenoid valve, reservoir with overflow standpipe and spray platform. Harvest cycle : The inlet water solenoid valve is open during the harvest cycle. Water flows through it to the top of the machine and onto the evaporator platen. The water flows across the platen, warming it up t[...]
