OWNER MAINTENANCE Eskimo Ice Installation Manual - Remote System
14 L-2448B ENGLISH
Charging the System
1. Remove line from vacuum pump and connect to a bottle of R-134a. The charge should be weighted in by placing the
bottle on a refrigerant scale.
2. Turn the bottle upside down and purge the charge hose at the gauge set.
3. Allow refrigerant to flow in the high side until the correct charge is reached. Disconnect refrigerant bottle.
Setting the CPV
1. Start the system and run for 15 minutes. Observe the low pressure gauge. Adjust the CPV to maintain 6 to 7.5 PSI (6.8
PSI is ideal) as determined by an accurate gauge capable of reading low-pressures. Misadjustment of the valve can
cause reduced ice production, damage to components, and voiding of the warranty. If under warranty, call for
authorization before adjusting CPV, otherwise warranty will be voided.
2. Turn valve adjustment knob clockwise (in) to raise pressure and counterclockwise (out) to lower pressure. Only make
1/4-turn adjustments at a time, and allow 10 minutes between adjustments for system to equalize.
3. Make sure the valve is dry, and replace the cap on CPV, being careful not to disturb the setting by gripping the cap too
tightly.
4. Remove gauge set and replace service-port caps.
OWNER MAINTENANCE
The periods and procedures given for maintenance and cleaning are guides only and should not to be construed as absolute or
invariable. Cleaning frequency will vary depending on local water conditions (hard water, etc.) and the ice volume produced.
SEAWATER SYSTEM
Check the seawater strainer daily and remove any debris. If you are in water where jellyfish or other debris are a problem, it may
be necessary to add a strainer on the outside of the thru-hull fitting. Verify that all water connections are tight, and check for
water flow from the overboard discharge. The centrifugal pump does not need any routine maintenance.
FRESH WATER FILTER AND Y STRAINER
Change the filter at least twice per year, or every 1500 gallons, whichever comes first. The correct filter helps prevent clogging
of the needle valve and scale buildup within the evaporator chamber. Occasionally check the Y strainer and clean away any
debris.
EVAPORATOR CLEANING
Once per year the evaporator should be cleaned by an authorized service agency. The following steps should be used:
1. Shut off feedwater supply to the ice machine.
2. Disconnect clear tubing from bottom evaporator, and drain all water from the evaporator. Reconnect the tubing.
3. Prepare cleaning solution: Mix 8 ounces (237ml) of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner, or equivalent, with two quarts
(1.9L) of hot water. If another solution is used, follow instructions on bottle.
4. Remove cover to the water reservoir.
5. Slowly pour the cleaning solution into the reservoir.
6. Turn the machine to the ON position.
7. Continue pouring cleaning solution into the reservoir, maintaining the level just below overflow, while the machine
makes ice.
8. Continue ice making until all the solution is used and the reservoir is empty.
9. Turn the machine to the OFF position.
10. Wash and rinse the water reservoir.
11. Open the water supply to the ice maker
12. Turn the machine to the ON position
13. Let the machine make ice for AT LEAST 15 minutes to flush out any remaining cleaning solution.
14. Remove all ice from the ice bin; do not use any ice produced during the cleaning cycle.
15. Use hot water to rinse the ice bin.
