CME1356 and CME1656Pre-InstallationOther Applications:Check Scotsman sales information forrecommendations regarding applications.Check the nameplate for electrical requirements.The nameplate is located on the back of the icemachine. While the model and serial number areon the nameplate, a serial number plate is locatedat the front of the machine, near the purge valve..Water:There is no such thing as pure water. All water Nameplatecontains some impurities. There are two wayswater carries the impurities: suspended anddissolved. Suspended solids can be filtered out.Dissolved solids must be diluted or treated. Waterfilters are recommended to remove suspendedsolids. Some filters have treatment in them forsuspended solids. Check with a water treatmentservice for a recommendation.Cube Ice machines use more water than what Serial Number Plateends up in the bin as ice. While most water is usedduring ice making, a portion is designed to “rinse\"out the water system to keep hard water scalefrom clogging up the machine. That water rinse,combined with water filters, prolongs the timesbetween needed water system cleaning.Service Technicians: All models covered here Note: Slope front bins must have an internal baffle.come set from the factory at a “standard” water Scotsman’s BH900 has the required baffle. Bafflerinse, which is compatible with typical water must be approximately in the position shown in theconditions. They may be adjusted to “Minimum\" or diagram.“Maximum\" water rinse after start up. If the priorice machine worked acceptably well with the local Bafflewater conditions, leave the machine at the factorysetting. If severe water conditions are present, andwater filters do not solve the problem acceptably,adjust the machine to use more water. If waterconditions are excellent, adjust the machine to useless water. See the Adjustments section.Note: Water use adjustments are customer 12.0\" 4.0\"convenience adjustments; they are NOT factorydefects and are NOT covered by warranty. Side View May 2000 Page 5

The refrigeration system is similar to that of most commercial cube ice machines. Heat is removedThe AutoIQ Controller operates the ice machine by from the water and discharged out the condensermonitoring several input measures and switching during the freeze cycle. As liquid refrigerant passesvarious loads on and off. thru the Thermostatic Expansion Valve, it enters the bottom of the evaporators, and will form on theWater System: bottom first. When cubes need to be released (Harvest) the Hot Gas Valve is opened and hotWater flows into the ice machine during the discharge gas flows directly from the compressor toharvest cycle thru the inlet water valve. The water the evaporator inlets. This warms up thevalve will NOT be open the complete length of the evaporators and the surface of the ice frozen to theharvest cycle. The water pump forces water to the evaporator surface melts. Ice then falls into the bin.top of the evaporators, both in the Freeze andHarvest cycles. Un-frozen water falls thru the cubedeflector and back into the reservoir. As water isturned into ice, the water level in the reservoir falls,and at the point where the cubes are fully formed,the Water Level Sensor indicates to the AutoIQController that it is time to begin the Harvest cycle.During the Harvest cycle, water again enters the Evaporatorswater reservoir, and a purge valve opens to drainthe reservoir and dilute the concentration ofaccumulated minerals. The purge valve is openedfor a fixed amount of time, but the water pumpdoes not start right away, but at a time determinedby the AutoIQ Controller’s purge setting. Thehigher the purge setting,the sooner the water pump Hot Gas Valvewill start, and more waterwill be drained out.

CME1356 and CME1656Access ValvesTo use the access valves: Refrigeration System Components1. Be sure that the valve is closed. Remove the Due to the expected level of training andstem cap and insert a 3/16\" allen wrench. Check experience of a refrigeration mechanic, detailedthat the valve is closed. instructions regarding the replacement of refrigeration components will not be presented. Allen However, critical items will be noted here. Wrench Refrigerant:Torque Stem 1. This ice machine uses R-404A or HP62 as a to 6-8 ft. lb. refrigerant. It has several unique characteristics. Torque Stem Cap A. It is a near-azeotrope, and must be liquid to 8-12 ft. lb. charged. Torque Core Cap B. It must use polyol ester refrigerant oil, and that to 7-12 ft. lb. oil is very water absorbent. The system must not be open for more than 15 minutes.Access Valve C. An electronic leak detector capable of locating Access Valve HFC-134a type refrigerant must be used to locate refrigerant leaks.2. Remove the port cap and attach refrigerantmanifold hoses. D.

Bulletin Number: PS - 4 - 2002 Bulletin Date: February 2002SERVICE BULLETINSubject: New Ice Sensors in CME1356, CME1656 and CME2006. New IceSensors, new Water Level Sensors and new Controllers in CME306 andCME456.Ice Sensors: Scotsman has begun production of ice machines equipped with a new style of icesensor. The new sensor is interchangeable with the prior sensors, which are still in use on otherScotsman modular cubers.Controllers: Scotsman has also added the new blue controller (see PS-3-2002) to models CME306and CME456.Water Level Sensor: A new water level sensor is also being used on CME306 and CME456.Service parts for the ice sensors and water level sensor have not changed.Ice machines built prior to this change are not affected.The new sensors’ use will be phased in by model throughout 2002.Additional information is on the back of this bulletin.Ice Sensor Photo-Eyes in New Ice Sensor
Sensor Holder The new ice sensor’s have a photo-eye module that can be separated from the holder. Once separated, the lenses of the photo-eyes can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Ice machine cleaner may be used if needed. Like the other style of sensor, the photo-eye part can be placed in the reservoir when the ice machine is being cleaned with ice machine cleaner. When re-assembling, be sure that the wire is not sticking out past the edges of the sensor holder.Push to Release Photo-Eye Module Photo-Eye Module Separated from Holder Route Wire Under Clip, Push Module Into Place
