Accessories

Legs

Legs are optional equipment with most dispensers. Standard legs are 4" (10.2 cm) tall stainless steel legs. If an ice machine is installed on top of the dispenser, legs must not be installed. We do not recommend using legs when an ice machine is mounted on the dispenser. The combined weight of the dispenser, ice and ice machine is more evenly distributed when the base area of the dispenser is in contact with the countertop.

Manual Fill Lid

If you are top mounting your dispenser with an ice machine, you will require a lid for the manual fill area at the top, front of the dispenser. If you ordered a dispenser and an ice machine at the same time, the manual fill lid was included with the unit. The manual fill lid can be ordered from your local distributor.

Ice Flow Restrictor

An optional ice flow restrictor decreases the amount of ice allowed to enter the ice chute by blocking a small area at the entrance of the dispenser chute. This in turn restricts the flow of ice that is dispensed into your cup.

Please refer to the instructions included in kit #5013822 for more information on how to install.

Electrical

General

⚠️ Warning
All wiring must conform to local, state and national codes. Changes to the mains cable and plug can only be made by a qualified electrician.

Minimum Circuit Ampacity

The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity is not the beverage/ice machine's running amp load.) The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.

Electrical Requirements

Refer to Ice Machine Model/Serial Plate for voltage/ amperage specifications.

Voltage

The standard voltage for IOD Series dispensers is 120VAC-60Hz. A power cord is provided with 120VAC-60Hz models only. IOD Series dispensers use a 1/7 hp gearmotor.

Minimum Circuit Amperage Chart

ℹ️ Important
Due to continuous improvements, this information is for reference only. Please refer to the dispenser serial number tag to verify electrical data. Serial tag information overrides information listed on this page.

Grounding Instructions

⚠️ Warning
The beverage/ice machine must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

⚠️ Warning
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance -- if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Pump Deck Wiring

The supply cord is equipped with a three-prong 5-15P. When a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required by code, a breaker type protector must be used. We do not recommend GFIC outlets as they are known for more intermittent nuisance trips than panel breakers. To ensure both the safety and proper operation of this equipment, be certain that the electrical receptacle is a proper design so as to accept this plug, ensuring that the carbonator assembly is properly grounded.

If the pump deck is to be installed in an area or community whose local codes require permanent wiring, the following procedure must be followed:

1. The three wires (white, black and green) must be fed through the cable connector and brought into the wiring compartment. The cable must be secured into the connector.
2. The green wire from the cable must be connected to the green screw that attaches to the inside panel of the wiring compartment. Be sure to use a ring torque terminal for connecting the wire to the screw.
3. The white wire from the cable must be joined to the N terminal of the liquid level control board by a suitable U.L. listed insulated cable connector.
4. The black wire from the cable must be joined to the L1 terminal of the liquid level control board by a suitable U.L. listed insulated cable connector.

Water Supply

Recommended Plumbing

All plumbing must conform to local, state, and national codes. Scotsman Ice recommends that a double non-return valve is fitted before the unit on installation. The unit is not connected to the water mains by a factory supplied hose set and it is up to the installer to fit an appropriate food grade hose, rated to a minimum operating pressure of 145 psi (10 bar, 1000000 Pa). All connections should be made using a permanent retaining method e.g. Oetiker clip.

The plumbing diagram is printed on a white vinyl label, located above the inlet tubes for syrup and water. The plumbing diagram label can be accessed by removing the splash panel of the dispenser. The plumbing diagram label explains which inlet coldplate fittings supply which dispenser valves and water manifolds.

The water supply must first be connected to the carbonator pump (not shown) before plumbing to connection "A" shown on plumbing diagram. The carbonator pump deck must be within 6' (1.8 m) of the dispenser for optimum performance. See BIB installation diagram for system pressure settings.

Drains

IOD Series dispensers drain through a double connection to the drain pan.

Diagrams illustrating drain connections for the IOD Series dispensers, showing drainage through the bottom, through the back, and rear access for drain hoses and beverage lines.

Step by Step Installation

General

IOD Series dispensers have a stainless steel cabinet and lighted merchandiser standard. Beverage valves, cold plate connections, drain connections and electrical components are front serviceable.

Specifications Chart

*This is the optimal pressure. When the foam is too high, decrease the pressure; when spitting/popping is an issue, increase the pressure.

Unit Installation

1. Place the dispenser in the desired location.
2. Run the beverage lines and water lines; make sure to install the water connections to the proper inlets. Connection "A" comes from the brass carbonator pump and connection "B" is your plain water supply.

Install Plumbing Drains & Insulate

1. Connect Drain Kit to drain pan (see Drains on page 12).
2. Extended splash panel units do the following:
   A. Remove the extended splash panel from the unit by removing the two (2) Phillips head screws holding it in place.
   B. Determine drain setup and screw either the 90° or straight line drain fittings into the collector box included with the drain kit (see Drains on page 12).

Diagram of drain kit components including straight fittings, 90° fittings, collector box, and drain line fittings.

NOTE: Depending on the drain setup, connect the straight fittings to the collector box if the drain lines are to run straight back underneath the unit or the 90° fittings if the drain lines run down through the countertop.

ℹ️ Important
If incoming water pressure is under 40 psi (2.76 BAR, 275,790 Pa), a water booster is recommended. If incoming water pressure is over 55 psi (3.79 BAR 379, 211 Pa), a water regulating valve is required.

C. Using the provided radiator clamps connect and secure the drain lines to the collector box fittings with a standard screwdriver or 5/16 nut driver.

D. Mount the collector box to the bracket by sliding the right and left bracket tabs into the slots on the collector box.

E. Be sure the 90° rubber ice bin drain elbows are routed into the collector box.

F. Reinstall the extended splash panel.

5. Fill bin with ice.

Starting Your Water/Ice Dispenser

Upon completion of the beverage dispenser and/or system installation, all tubing, dispenser, and system components must be cleaned and sanitized prior to use.

NOTE: At installation, equipment, dispensers, and tubing get moved through many environments, dirt, dust, chases, insulation, drywall, etc. It is an important procedure and best practice to address cleaning to deliver the best quality drink to your customer.

ℹ️ Important
Clean and sanitize the water and syrup circuits according to instructions provided in this manual. Clean and sanitize the dispenser components according to instructions provided in this manual. Seal to counter top when no legs are used with the unit. Consult and use local health codes if a discrepancy occurs between this manual and your local health codes.

Section 3: Operation

Component Identification

Diagram identifying key components of the IOD Series dispenser, including the merchandiser, splash panel, counter, ice bin, paddle wheel, and ice dispense chute.

Sequence of Operation

Ice Recommended for Dispensing

Dispensers are designed to dispense hard, cube ice up to one-inch square. The ice shapes and sizes listed below are recommended for dispensing.

Warm "Super Cooled" Ice Before Dispensing: "Super Cooled" ice is not recommended for dispensing. "Super cooled" ice is ice that has been stored in freezers below 32°F. If it is necessary to temporarily use "super cooled" ice, allow the ice to warm at room temperature for 25 to 30 minutes before placing the ice in the dispenser.

Illustration of recommended ice shapes for dispensing: Medium Cube (Dice) and Small Cube (Half Dice), with their respective dimensions.

Ice Storage and Dispensing

As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice chute also activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator arm.

The paddlewheel carries ice. Periodic agitation is standard on the 30" and larger dispensers. During periodic agitation, the paddle wheel and agitator turn for approximately three seconds every three and one half-hours. The door lock prevents ice from being dispensed during the agitation cycle.

Rocking Chute Ice Dispensing

As the customer presses the rocking chute, the arm at the top left rear of the chute pushes upward on the door lock. The door opens until it contacts the stops in the mounting brackets. The plastic arm on the ice chute also activates the lever of the ice dispensing switch. When activated, the micro switch starts the gear motor. The gear motor turns the paddle wheel and agitator bar.

Agitation Timer

The timer is non-adjustable and is set to agitate the ice for 3 seconds every 3.5 hours. Activating the dispenser will reset the timer. After 3.5 hours of non-use, the timer will energize the dispenser motor.

The LED tells the technician in which mode the timer is operating. Rather than a jumper pin, this timer has a female spade connector that must be connected to terminal number 6.

When this jumper is in place, the LED will blink at one-second intervals. This is the run mode.

When the jumper is open, the LED will flash every 0.4 second. This is the test mode and the timer will cycle every 55 seconds in test mode. If the timer is left in test mode, it will automatically reset to run mode.

Diagram of the Agitation Timer showing its electrical connections and LED indicator.

Operation Checks and Adjustments

Rocking Chute Ice Delivery Switch Adjustment

To properly adjust the switch, first unplug the power cord to the unit, then remove the merchandiser. This will give you access to the ice delivery switch located on the left side of the rocking chute.

Begin by observing the chute by slowly pushing against the rocking chute. When the ice delivery switch clicks, measure the distance from the door stops on the rocking chute bracket to the door. The distance between the two must be no more than 1/4" (0.64 cm), but no less than 1/16" (0.16 cm).
