User manual SCOTSMAN DCE33

[. . . ] DCE33 INTRODUCTION The Scotsman DCE33 is a restaurant type ice machine designed for home use. It produces the same high quality ice as large Scotsman commercial ice cube machines, and stores that ice in a heavily insulated storage bin. This service manual is intended as a resource for people installing, using, and servicing the DCE33. Because it contains information on safety and maintenance, Scotsman strongly recommends that this manual be kept where it is readily available. Table of Contents Page Technical Information . [. . . ] With unit plugged in, rotate ice machine control knob to the ON position. Freeze Timer Positions Button Cam The DCE33 will release a batch of 8 ice cubes about every 30 minutes. At the same time the cubes fall into the storage bin, water will be entering the ice machine and draining out. Ice: The ice cubes are tapered cylinders about 11/4" in diameter at the widest end; taper down to 1" wide at the top; and are 11/8" high. When the machine is adjusted properly, there should be a 1/ " indent in the base of the cube. The ice will 4 appear wet when fresh, this is normal. It may also develop frost on the outside and look cloudy - this is also normal (the frost will disappear when liquid is poured over the ice). Storage: All restaurant type ice machine operate on this principal: The ice storage bin is not refrigerated; instead it's heavily insulated, much like a picnic cooler or ice chest. If the ice bin were to be refrigerated, the ice would freeze together into one very large cluster of ice, and would begin to evaporate. This would yield ice that is very poor in quality, and difficult to remove from the machine. The DCE33 will continue to operate until ice builds up high enough to contact the bin thermostat sensor tube, then it will shut off. Models with a drain pump will occasionally pump out melt water when the machine is off. The pump will only be on for a few seconds. Run Time: The amount of time the DCE33 will run to replace melted ice is about 6 hours per day. The amount of time the ice machine will run to replace ice removed is dependent upon how much is removed, how clean the ice machine is, and how hot the air and water supplied to the machine are. A machine that has been emptied will usually take about 24-36 hours to re-fill. Harvest Control Knob Timer 5. Allow the unit to operate for 1 hour, and check the size of the cubes, if they are not correct, adjust as recommended on page 17. After the cubes are confirmed to be the correct size, replace all panels. Locate the nameplate on the control box cover. Record the serial number and date of start up here in the manual. Keep the manual handy for future reference. Serial Number:___________________________ Date of initial start up:_____________________ 8. Fill out and mail the Warranty Registration. March 2006 Page 12 DCE33 OPERATION How does the machine make ice? There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. [. . . ] If the timer will not start, the cube size control may be the problem. Removal of the cube size control requires removal of the ice storage bin. Unplug or disconnect the electrical power to the ice machine. Go thru the steps to remove the ice storage bin. [. . . ]
