NOTE. With the unit in "built-in" conditions, the ice production is gradually reduced in respect to the levels shown in the graf, up to a maximum of 10% at room temperatures higher than 32°C. The daily ice-making capacity is directly related to the condenser air inlet temperature, water temperature conditions of the condenser air filter and age of the machine. To keep your SCOTSMAN CUBER at peak performance levels, periodic maintenance checks must be carried out as indicated on Maintenance and Cleaning section of this manual. Page 4 Page 4

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

A. ADJUSTMENT OF THE CUBE SIZE

CAUTION. Before performing actual adjustment of the cube size , check other possible causes for cube size problems, refer to the Service Diagnosis Section for problem review and analysis. Do not perform any adjustment till the icemaking system has progressed SMALL through several complete freezing and IDENTATION harvest cycle, to observe size and quality of ice cubes and whether or not the cube size problem exists.

I. If the cubes are shallow size (Indentation is too deep) probably the length of the second phase of the freezing cycle is too short so, to extend such length you have to:

1. Locate the DIP SWITCH on the front of the P.C.Board.

2. Take note of the combination of the first four DIP SWITCH KEYS and check the corrisponding length of freezing cycle 2nd phase on Table B.

3. Set the same DIP SWITCH KEYS to LITTLE OR NO correspond to the prior combination shown on ICE IN CENTER Table B which allow an extention of two more OF CUBES minutes of the length of the freezing cycle.

4. Observe the ice cubes in the next two harvests and eventually repeat steps 2 and 3 above until proper ice cubes size is achieved. See figure.

II. If the cubes are oversize size (Indentation is too full) probably the length of the second phase of the freezing cycle is too long. To shorten such length you have to:

1. Locate the DIP SWITCH on the front of the THICK BULGE P.C.Board. SOLID ICE 2. Take note of the combination of the first four DIP SWITCH KEYS and check the corrisponding length of freezing cycle 2nd phase on Table B.

3. Set the same DIP SWITCH KEYS to correspond to the next combination shown on Table B which allow a reduction of two minutes of the length of the freezing cycle.

4. Observe the ice cubes in the next two harvests and eventually repeat steps 2 and 3 above until proper ice cubes size is achieved. See figure. Page 40 Page 40

1. Check and clean the water line strainer. Clean-sanitise the water system, evaporator, bin and spray jets using a solution of SCOTSMAN 2. Check that the icemaker is levelled in side Ice Machine Cleaner/Sanitizer. Page 46 Page 46

6. Lift up the entire spray platen from its bottom NOTE. Cleaning requirements vary according seat and take it out to clean it separately. to the local water conditions and individual user operation. Continuous check of the clarity of ice cubes and visual inspection of the water spraying parts before and after cleaning will indicate frequency and procedure to be followed in local areas.

1. Remove the front and top panels to gain access either to the control box and to the evaporator.

2. Make sure that all ice cubes have been released from their cups, then switch OFF the machine at front master button switch.

3. Scoop out all the ice cubes stored into the bin in order to prevent them from being contaminated with the cleaning solution.

4. Remove the plastic cup located on the bottom of sump/freezing chamber to drain out all water and scale deposits.

7. Using a bottle, poor fresh water into the bottom of the sump/freezing chamber to clean out most of scale deposit.

8. Install again the spray platen, the curtain as well as the bottom plastic cup.

Cleaning 9. Prepare the cleaning solution by diluting in a plastic container two liters of warm water (45°- 50°C) with 0,2 liters of Ice Machine Cleaner. 5. Lift up and remove the curtain. WARNING. The SCOTSMAN Ice Machine Cleaner contains Phosphoric and Hydroxyacetic acids. These compounds are corrosive and may cause burns if swallowed, DO NOT indu- ce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk. Call Physician immediately. In case of external contact flush with water. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

10. Remove the evaporator cover then slowly pour onto the evaporator platen the cleaning solution. With the help of a brush dissolve the most resistant and remote scale deposits in the platen. 11. Switch ON again the machine at front master button switch then push the PC BOARD Page 47 Page 47
