NME454, 654 & FME504, 804

FOR THE INSTALLER

Location:

Install the machine be installed in a location where it has enough space around it to be accessible for service. A minimum of 6" must be allowed at the back and sides for air circulation on air cooled models. Try to avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the machine is within the environmental limitations.

Storage Bin:

Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the legs into the threaded holes in the bottom of the bin. Turn the leg levelers all the way in preparation for leveling later. Return the bin to the upright position, remove paper covering the bin gasket. Note: Do not push bin into position, but lift it there. Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in it, can cause damage to the legs and the leg mounts. Install the appropriate bin top on the bin, according to the instructions for the bin top.

Ice Machine:

The machine is heavy, so the use of a mechanical lift is recommended for lifting the machine high enough to install on top of the bin. After the unit is placed on the bin, line it up so it is even with the back side. Secure the machine to the bin with the hardware provided with the machine.

Remove the front panel and remove any shipping blocks.

Note: When placing 2 of these machines on a BH801 without the bin top, removal of the 2 service panels facing each other will make future service easier:

1.Remove the 2 top panel screws that will face each other.

2.Remove the 2 service panels that will face each other.

3.Add a strip of gasket, such as Scotsman part number 19-0503-04, to the 2 base edges that will face each other and around service panel space on the 2 panels that will face each other.

When the 2 machines are placed on the bin, the gaskets will seal the bin top area and the space between the machines.

Water Limitations:

An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant: it takes a raw material, water, and transforms it into a food product, ice. The purity of the water is very important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing product life. This section is not intended as a complete resource for water related questions, but it does offer these general recommendations:

1.Check with a water treatment specialist for a water test, and recommendations regarding filters and treatment.

2.In most cases, the water used to make ice should be filtered or treated, depending upon the water. There is no one type of water filter that is effective in all situations. That is why a water test is important.

RO Water Limitation: Water conductivity must be no less than 35 microSiemens/cm.

FME504, FME804, NME654, NME454 specifications

Scotsman Ice Systems is known for its high-quality ice machines, and models such as the NME454, NME654, FME804, and FME504 are no exceptions. Designed with both performance and efficiency in mind, these machines cater to various business needs, from restaurants to convenience stores.

The NME454 and NME654 units are renowned for their compact design, making them ideal for establishments with limited space. Despite their smaller size, these machines do not compromise on ice production capacity. The NME454 can produce up to 430 pounds of ice per day, while the NME654 boasts an impressive output of up to 600 pounds. Both models utilize Scotsman's signature innovative technology to ensure consistent ice quality, primarily in the form of nugget ice, which is favored for its ability to cool beverages quickly.

In contrast, the FME804 and FME504 are larger-capacity machines that cater to high-volume requirements. The FME804 can produce around 800 pounds of ice daily, making it suitable for busy restaurants or bars. The FME504, while slightly smaller, still offers impressive production capabilities of up to 500 pounds per day. These machines incorporate advanced features such as the AquaArmor protective layer, which inhibits bacterial growth, ensuring that the ice produced is not only abundant but also hygienic.

All four models utilize an innovative air-cooled design that enhances energy efficiency and reduces operational costs. The easy-to-use control panel allows for straightforward operation, and maintenance is streamlined thanks to easily accessible components. Additionally, the quiet operation of the machines ensures that they can be used in front-of-house areas without distracting customers.

In terms of construction, Scotsman ice machines are built to last with corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. With simple installation processes and compatibility with various environments, including indoor and outdoor settings, these units provide adaptability for any business scenario.

Overall, Scotsman’s NME454, NME654, FME804, and FME504 ice machines combine robust performance with innovative technology, catering efficiently to diverse ice production needs while maintaining high standards of hygiene and reliability.
