User manual SCOTSMAN ND550

[. . . ] ND550 INTRODUCTION To the owner or user: The service manual you are reading is intended to provide you, and the maintenance or service technician with the information needed to install, start up, clean, maintain, and service this ice maker-dispenser. The ND550 is a combination nugget ice maker and countertop dispenser, with the option of wall mounting. A water station may be added, if desired. The ND550 ice making section is equipped with the following features: electronic controls for bin level and low water; thermostatic expansion valve; front service for most components; and R502 refrigerant. [. . . ] Continue ice making for at least 15 minutes, to flush out any cleaning solution. Check ice for acid taste - continue icemaking until ice tastes sweet. //////////////////////////////WARNING/////////////////////////// DO NOT USE any ice produced from the cleaning solution. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 15. Add warm water to the ice storage bin and thoroughly wash and rinse all surfaces within the bin. Sanitize the bin interior with an approved sanitizer using the directions for that sanitizer. Replace the ice storage bin cover, and the front panel.

The ice machine senses water level by a probe located in the water reservoir. At least twice a year, the probe should be removed from the reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of mineral buildup. The bin control uses devices that sense light, therefore they must be kept clean enough so that they can "see". At least twice a year, remove the bin control sensors from the grommets in the ice chute, and wipe them clean.

The bearing in the breaker should also be checked at least two times per year. Check the bearing by: · removing the ice chute cover · unscrewing the ice sweep · removing the water shed · using a spanner wrench and unscrewing the breaker cover. · unscrewing the auger stud Inspect the assembly, looking for wear. See Removal and Replacement to replace bearing or seals. Check and tighten all bolts and screws. August, 1989 Page 20 ND550 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker will contain a high concentration of minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year. If in doubt about the condition of the evaporator and auger, the auger can be removed so the parts can be inspected. Note: Water filters can filter out suspended solids, but not dissolved solids. "Soft" water may not be the complete answer. Check with a water treatment specialist regarding water treatment. For more information on removal of these parts, see REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. To remove the auger, remove the front and top panels. [. . . ] Bench test the gearmotor, check for oil leaks, noise, and amp draw.
