SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual 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. Clearance requirements: 0 inches at the top, 2 inches at the rear and an 1/8 inch at each side.
SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual 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 chemically bonded to the water molecules, and cannot be filtered out, these are called dissolved solids.
SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual Door Covering Door Panel Custom 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. 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.

SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual Installation: Water & Drain Water Supply, all models: 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: Water Connection is at the FRONT of the machine. Do NOT connect to tubing at the back. Drains Note: Do not use self-piercing type valves.
SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual 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 leveling legs to the approximate height. 2. Remove the front service access panel and the upper back panel.
SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual Electrical 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. 1. Has the unit been connected to the proper water supply? 2. Has the water supply been checked for leaks? 3. Has the unit been connected to a drain? 4.
SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual 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. That tubing is also the ice level sensor; ice will fill the storage bin until it's near to or on that tube and then the machine will shut off.
SCCG50 & SCCP50 Installation and User's Manual Maintenance How to clean the ice storage bin. There are 5 things to keep clean: Over time biofilm can grow inside the drain system which can affect the ability for the drain system to evacuate the drain water. On the pump models this can also drive a erratic pump operation. Including the pump cycling rapidly or running all the time. Biofilm and pump cycling issues will eventually lead to low production and standing water in the bin.
