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.
Recover, reclaim or recycle refrigerant. The method chosen is up to the service company. Any refrigerant placed into a Scotsman ice machine must meet ARI spec 700-88. Reclaim programs are available through most refrigerant wholesalers.
Access Valves: To use the access valves:
Remove the cap from the stem, use a 3/16" allen wrench to check that the valve is CLOSED. The remove the core cap.

REFRIGERATION SERVICE

General Information:

Work on the refrigeration system should only be done when it is certain that the system needs repair.

￿Refrain from checking refrigeration

 

 

pressures without reason. Visual inspection

 

 

of the water system, observation of the ice

 

 

formation, amp draw, voltage, and other

 

 

techniques will lead to proper diagnosis.

 

 

Scotsman also recommends that, at the time of

 

 

initial start up, gauges not be used.

 

 

￿If gauges must be used, don’t always check the

 

 

high side pressure. If the condenser is clean and

 

seems to be operating correctly, it most likely is.

 

The low side pressure is more important on an

 

 

ice machine than the high side.

These machines are designed to provide a steady supply of ice, ensuring that businesses can meet the demands of their customers without interruption. The MDT5N25 can produce approximately 260 pounds of ice per day, while the MDT5N40 takes it a step further by producing around 450 pounds daily. These capacities make both models suitable for various applications, from small cafes to larger dining venues.

Both models are equipped with Scotsman’s proprietary EcoX technology, which enhances energy efficiency and reduces water consumption. This technology employs advanced engineering designs that minimize waste and optimize production cycles. This focus on sustainability not only helps reduce operational costs but also appeals to environmentally conscious businesses.

The MDT5N25 and MDT5N40 also feature a self-cleaning mechanism that simplifies maintenance and ensures consistent ice quality. The automatic cleaning cycle helps prevent limescale and bacteria buildup, providing peace of mind for operators who prioritize hygiene and food safety.

In terms of design, both models boast a compact footprint, making them suitable for establishments with limited space. They come with a built-in storage bin that efficiently holds large quantities of ice, streamlining operations and making it easy for staff to access ice when needed. The sleek stainless steel finish of the machines not only enhances their durability but also ensures they can blend seamlessly into any commercial kitchen environment.

The user-friendly control panel on both the MDT5N25 and MDT5N40 allows for easy adjustments and monitoring of the machine’s performance. Operators can easily keep track of production levels and patterns, ensuring they can manage their ice supply effectively.

In conclusion, the Scotsman Ice MDT5N25 and MDT5N40 models represent a robust solution for commercial ice production, combining efficiency, advanced technology, and ease of use. With their impressive output capacities, energy-efficient designs, self-cleaning features, and durable construction, these machines are perfect for businesses that rely on consistent ice production to meet their needs.
