User manual SCOTSMAN AF300

[. . . ] AF300 INTRODUCTION To the owner or user: This service manual is intended to provide you, and the maintenance or service technician, with the information needed to install, start up, clean, maintain and repair this product. The AF300 is an ice machine that produces flaked ice and stores it in a insulated bin. It automatically maintains the level of ice by turning on when the ice level falls and switches off when it is full. This unit in serviceable in place; the ice storage bin and hood may be removed from the chassis to allow service access without removing the ice machine from its installed location. [. . . ] Remove O-ring holding insulation halves together at the top of the evaporator. Remove insulation halves from the top of the evaporator. Remove two screws from the back side of the evaporator. Pull up on breaker pull ring to remove the ice breaker assembly, auger, and the top portion of the water seal. Inspect the top bearing for water, rust, or wear. After the auger has dried, check condition of the auger's finish, it should be clean and shiny. If not, scrub with Scotsman ice machine cleaner and a clean brush. Reverse all of the above to reassemble. WASHER TOP BEARING INSULATION 10. Reassemble all components. January 1993 Page 14 AF300 Water Schematic: Water flows into the ice machine from its inlet connection at the back of the cabinet, through the float valve and into the reservoir. The water in the reservoir then flows by gravity into the bottom of the evaporator. In the evaporator the water chills into ice crystals and is pushed up the evaporator by the auger. At the top of the evaporator, the ice is pressed against a restriction, called a breaker, and some of the water is squeezed out of the crystalline ice. The flaked ice then flows through the chute into the bin. WATER SCHEMATIC EVAPORATOR RESERVOIR STRAINER WATER SAFETY SWITCH RESERVOIR/EVAPORATOR DRAIN RESERVOIR OVERFLOW DRAIN BIN DRAIN January 1993 Page 15 AF300 Refrigeration Schematic: From the compressor, hot discharge gas is pumped to the condenser, either air or water cooled. At the condenser, heat from the refrigerant flows into the cooling medium, either air or water, and the refrigerant condenses into a liquid. From the condenser the liquid refrigerant flows through the liquid line to the metering device - a thermostatic expansion valve. At the thermostatic expansion valve, the liquid refrigerant passes from a high pressure zone to one of relatively low pressure, and in the low pressure zone it evaporates. The low pressure zone where the refrigerant evaporates is the evaporator. When the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs heat from the metal parts of the evaporator and the water inside it. EVAPORATOR From the evaporator, the refrigerant flows back to the compressor through the suction line.

[. . . ] Note: several turns are required to fully open the valve. Close the valve and replace the caps when the job is finished. The Valve MUST be Closed and the caps MUST be on, or the VALVE WILL LEAK. Electrical shock can cause personal injury. [. . . ]
