HID207 Cabinet Drawing

HID207 Indicator Light Panel

The front of the HID207 includes an Indicator Light Panel that informs users of several important operational facts:

• Power: When this light is ON, it indicates that there is power connected to the machine.
• Status: This light glows when the machine is making ice.
• Bin Full: When this light is ON, the ice storage container or bin is full of ice and the machine is either no longer making ice or is in the process of stopping to make ice.
• UV: The HID207 includes a Ultra Violet water sanitation light. This indicator light lets the user know when the UV module needs to be replaced.
• Clean: The Clean light informs the user that the regular cleaning of this unit has not been completed.

Placement

The location of the equipment should be selected with care. Consideration should be given to allow adequate space on the sides for these air cooled models to breathe.

Minimum clearances:

• 6 inches or 15 cm at each side
• 2 inches or 5 cm above, 10” or 25 cm more to allow auger removal when ceiling is fixed.
• 6 inches or 15 cm at the back.

Airflow Direction
Air flows air left to right. More space than the minimum at the sides will maximize performance.
The power outlet must be located within the length of the supplied power cord. If placed on a counter, the counter must be strong enough to support the weight of the unit. Space above the cabinet should be allowed for service and maintenance. If legs will be used, allow space for the total cabinet height.
Placement in a small room will require ventilation to exhaust the heat they produce. They also produce some added noise from the fan. Noise sensitive areas should consider locating the machine where the noise from ice making is not objectionable.
Nearby infrared emitters or a window that allows sunlight to shine on a dispensing sensor (only on model HID207AX) may cause the unit to dispense ice or water without a container to trigger it.

Cafeteria applications.

Note: Limited application due to small capacity.

The unit can be placed in a cafeteria line for ice and water. As some users sometimes dispense too much ice, high volume use may require the drip tray to be occasionally cleared of spilled ice.

Caution:
Care must be taken whenever moving or servicing the unit. The refrigerant is contained in a sealed system, but if released it may be flammable.

Counter Installations

Units placed on a counter must either use legs or be sealed to the counter top with food grade sealant per local codes. To avoid disturbing the seal, complete the installation prior to sealing.

Note: Seal Chassis to Counter, do NOT Seal Drip Tray Legs 4” legs are optional for countertop applications (Part number:KLP24A). In order to securely fasten the legs, the rubber feet must be removed. They are not to be used on the HID dispenser when it is placed on a machine stand.

Note: Use only legs of 4” minimum height.

Set Up

The drip tray and cup rest are shipped in place, but they can be easily removed. It is a good idea to remove the front panel and inspect for any loose or rubbing parts prior to installation.

Splash Panel Removal

1. Pull outward on drip tray to release from unit.
2. Remove top panel.
3. Swing bottom of panel forward, unplug sensor or switch connectors and separate panel from unit.
4. Remove screws at top and bottom of front panel.
5. Pull levers at rear of chutes to un-snap ice and water dispense chutes and remove from panel.
6. Lift splash panel off the unit.
7. Inspect for loose or rubbing parts. Correct as needed.
8. Return splash panel to its original position and secure the panel with its screws.
9. Return drip tray to its original position.

Pre-Start Inspection

1. Level the cabinet front to back and left to right.
2. Confirm there are no loose or rubbing parts.
3. Return splash panel and chutes to unit.

Installation Water and Drain

Installation should be done by an experienced ice machine installer. To locate one, call the number on the back of this manual or go to Scotsman’s website www.scotsman-ice.com to identify a local distributor or service company.
The machine will require power, water and drain.
Locate the water supply fitting on the lower back of the cabinet and obtain the correct fitting to connect the water supply.

Plumbing Connections:

• Potable water connection: Poly Tubing ¼ O.D. x 6 FT length
• Cabinet drain connection: ¾ I.D. Tubing to accept ¾ Barbed fitting, not included.

All models:

1. Connect the potable water supply to the tubing at the bottom back of the unit. Water filters may be used but are not required. A hand shut off valve within sight of the machine is strongly recommended
   Note that activated carbon or charcoal water filters are used for taste and odor problems but also take out any chlorine that the local water agency may have added for purification. That can require more frequent sanitization of the equipment.

2. Connect drain tubing to the central drain fitting at the back of the cabinet. Use 3/4 inch tubing,use material to meet local codes. The drain basin in the machine will act as an internal vent, no additional vent should be required unless there is a very long horizontal run. Drain tubing must pitch down 1/4 inch per foot to the building drain.
   Insulation of drain tubing is recommended for most environments.

Installation: Electrical

1. Plug the unit into a dedicated 15 amp outlet. The unit must be the only device on the circuit.
2. Confirm the outlet is properly grounded and is in good condition.
   Note: Worn or loose connection outlets should be replaced as they can cause erratic operation of equipment.

Do not use an extension cord.
Do not cut off the ground plug on the power cord.
Ground fault outlets are not recommended. If ground fault is required a ground fault breaker should be used.

1. Use the services of a licensed electrician when needed and conform to local and national codes.
2. Position the unit in its final location.
3. Level the unit front to back and left to right.

Initial Start Up

1. Remove panels: top and left side.

2. Turn water on, observe that water enters the water Mreservoir, fills and then shuts off. Check for leaks.
   Repair any leaks before going any further.

3. Plug in ice machine into it’s own circuit; with no other appliances. On the Indicator Light Panel the Power light will show green.

4. Locate the External Button on the Splash Panel and hold down for 3 seconds. Then on the Indicator Light Panel, the Status light will show green and the ice making process will start. Warm air will blow out the right side.
   Note: If the ice making process doesn’t start, remove the right side panel, remove the Control Box cover and check for any errors being displayed. See page 15 for details..

5. Within minutes ice will begin to fall into the dispensing bin. Check ice dispensing by holding a container in front of the Touch Free ice sensor (just below the ice delivery spout) or push the ice vend button on model HID207ABX. The ice dispense indicator light will glow and ice should flow from the spout when a container is present, and stop dispensing when the container is removed.

6. Check water dispensing by holding a container in front of the Touch Free water sensor or push the water dispense button on model HID207ABX.
   The water indicator will glow and water will flow when a container is present and stop when it is removed.

7. Press and hold the External Button for 3 seconds to stop the ice making process.

8. Wait about a minute for the ice making process to finish, then unplug or disconnect electrical power.

9. Scoop out any ice in the bin and sanitize the interior of the ice storage bin by wiping it with a locally approved sanitizer or a mixture of 2 oz of NuCalgon and 1.25 gal of 95-115 degrees water,allow to air dry.

10. Reconnect electrical power.

11. Press and hold the External Button for 3 seconds to start the ice making process.

12. Replace all covers and panels.

13. Give the owner/user the user manual, instruct him/her in the operation and maintenance requirements of the unit. Make sure they know who to call for service.

14. Have the customer fill out the Customer Evaluation and Warranty Registration form,and mail it in to Scotsman or register the unit at Scotsman’s website (www.scotsman-ice.com) or scan the QR code behind Drip Tray.

Component Location

Ice Storage and Dispensing

Operation

Ice and Water Vending
During ice making soft ice is compressed thru a die and then broken off into irregular lengths. It will not be clear and, because of melting, when dispensed it will not be uniform in size or shape.
Dispensing takes place when the Touch Free sensor’s infrared beam bounces back to the sensor from a container placed directly in front of it or when the dispense button is pushed on model HID207ABX.
If the container is in front of the Touch Free sensor on the left side, the ice dispensing rotor will rotate and sweep ice over the ice dispensing chute. Ice will continue to discharge out this chute as long as the rotor is turning. It stops when the rotor stops.

If the user does not remove the container, ice will be dispensed for 24 seconds and then stop.
If the container is in front of the Touch Free sensor on the right side, the inlet water valve will open and water will flow into the container.
If the user does not remove the container water will be dispensed for 20 seconds and then stop.

Note: Water may dispense cloudy and then clear up in the glass. That is normal due to air in the water and is not an indicator of any malfunction.

Other notes:

• An occasional drip may be seen from the ice dispense chute. This is normal and is from ice melting inside the chute. A continuous stream of water from the ice chute indicates a restricted bin drain.
• Clear containers (glass or plastic) may not always activate the dispense sensors. Retry with an opaque container.
• The drip tray is not a sink and cannot tolerate garbage. Coffee and soda should not be discarded into it. Debris like stirring straws that are discarded into the drip tray will likely cause a drain back up and need to be removed as soon as they are found.
• Both dispensing and ice making are disabled when the unit is switched off at the controller.
• Dispensed water is not cooled.
• All models: A chute light is illuminated when ice or water dispense is activated.

Splash panel wipe-off
Wiping the splash panel could result in unintended dispensing. To avoid that, a disable button has been provided. It is recessed into the bottom of the chute panel. Push and release it to disable dispensing for 60 seconds.

Available Ice
The user can expect that, when the bin full light is on,about 7 pounds of ice is available for dispensing.

Noise
This is a commercial ice machine. It contains a powerful compressor, heavy duty gear reducer and a fan that moves a lot of air. It will produce some noise when it is making ice. Every effort was made during its design to minimize the sound level but some is unavoidable.

Controller

All models use the same control system.
The electronic controller operates the compressor (with fan motor), auger drive motor, dispense drive motor and inlet water solenoid valve. It monitors:

• Reservoir water availability
• Storage bin ice level
• Auger amps
• Call for ice dispense
• Call for water dispense
• Dispense enable / disable
• Any installed control options
  Many of these are used to insure that the machine does not damage itself during use. For example, it is critical that it not attempt to make ice without water, so if the water sensor is dry, the machine will not make ice.

Switches – there are five switches:

• Dispense water – to test water dispensing
• Dispense ice – to test ice dispensing
• On/Off – to switch the machine on or off. Holding it in to shut off will stop ice making immediately.
• Clean – to engage the clean mode
• External Button- Press and release will disable touch free sensor for 2 minutes, if equipped
  • Press and hold for 3 seconds will turn unit off/on. If turning off, the auger will continue to run for a minute
  • Press and hold for 6 seconds unit will immediately shut off without auger delay

Indicators – there are nine LEDs:

• Power – Glows when controller has power
• Status – Glows when in ice making mode
• Time to Clean – Glows when it is time to clean the machine
• Water Dispense Sensed – glows when the water dispense sensor has been triggered*
• Ice Dispensed Sensed – glows when the ice dispense sensor has been triggered*
• Water Dispense – glows when the inlet water solenoid valve has been powered*
• Ice Dispense – glows when the ice dispense motor has been powered*
• Auger – glows when the auger motor is on
• Compressor – glows when the compressor is on If blinking the water or ice dispensing time limit has been met.

There is also a code display, the codes are:

• O – – – for off
• F – – – for ice making
• b – – – for bin full
• E – – – for controller error
• C – – – for clean mode
• d – – – for test mode
• 2 – – – for auger motor lockout current error
• 3 – – – for no water sensed

If a number code is triggered, the controller will stop ice making. A blinking code means it is a temporary condition. Example: A blinking F occurs during the ice making restart process; it stops blinking when the compressor starts.
The controller will automatically restart from a water interruption or power interruption or when a refrigerant pressure switch has automatically reset.

To reset the control when it has been manually locked out, Push and release the On/Off button to shut it Off and then Push and release it again to switch it On.

Note: The compressor will not restart for 4 minutes from the time it was shut off.

Maintenance and Cleaning

There are five areas of maintenance:

1. Drip tray, chutes and drain system
2. Air cooled condenser filter and condenser
3. Ice dispense bin and rotor
4. Photo eye ice level control
5. Ice making water system

Drip Tray
It is important to keep the drip tray clean of trash.
Remove any as soon as it is noticed. Pour hot water into the tray on a regular basis to keep the drain open.
Over time the drip tray and cup rest may become coated with scale or dirt. It can be removed to be scrubbed at a wash sink.

1. Press and hold External Button for 3 seconds to stop ice making process.
2. Un-snap dispense chutes and pull down to remove.
3. Pull the drip tray forward to disconnect it from the drain.
4. Plug the drain fitting with a cloth to keep it from leaking while the drip tray is being cleaned.
5. Wash out the drip tray and dispense chutes. Use ice machine scale remover if needed to dissolve scale.
6. Reverse to reassemble. Be sure drip tray is pushed back fully into place. Insert chutes until they snap into place.
7. Press and hold the External Button switch for 3 seconds to restart ice making process.

Note for External Button:

• Press and release will automatically stop vending and cease sensors, iff applicable.
• Press and hold for 3 seconds will turn on or off; allowing the auger a moment to finish the cycle.
• Press and hold for 6 seconds will immediately shut off the ice machine.

Air filter

The air filter on the left side of the cabinet will capture significant dust and lint during operation. As the dirt builds up it begins to restrict air flow and causes the refrigeration system to work longer to make ice. Clean the air filter regularly.
To remove, pull it forward from the louvers. Do not leave it out for extended periods of time.
To clean, wash it at a utility sink. Return it to the unit when clean.

Condenser.
The condenser fins may need cleaning too. Remove the left side panel and brush any lint and dirt off the surface of the condenser. Vacuum any remaining dirt. Do not damage the fins of the condenser during cleaning.

Ice level controls

Clean if the controller indicates bin full and there is no ice between the sensors.

1. Shut machine off.
2. Remove top panel.
3. Remove splash panel.
4. Disconnect ice level controls at connector.
5. Remove 15 phillips head screws and ice storage bin cover.
6. Pull each sensor grommet clip up and off.
7. Push grommets out of bin top.
8. Pull each sensor out of its rubber grommet. Pull on the part closest to the grommet, not the wire.
9. Wipe the sensor lenses clean with a soft, clean cloth. Caution – do not scratch the lens. If there is mineral scale on the lens, ice machine scale remover will be needed to wipe them clean.
10. Return each sensor to a grommet, push it in until it snaps into place.
11. Reverse the rest of the steps to reassemble.

Maintenance and Cleaning – Dispensing Bin Components

The ice storage bin and rotor must be cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis, at a minimum when the ice making system is cleaned. Hand tools and hand protection like rubber gloves are recommended for this procedure.

Confirm unit is plugged into a working outlet of the correct voltage.

Note: Unit will automatically restart when power is restored. If unit has NOT been in operation, the on-off button must be pressed to start operation.
No ice, bin full light ON – check for false bin full caused by mineral scale on the optical sensors, located at the top of the ice chute. Status light green with no ice being made is a sign of false bin full.
Carefully clean the optical sensors of accumulated scale. Do not scrape with a sharp object.

No ice dispensed, bin full light ON, bin is full and ice dispense light is ON when container is present at ice station. Call for service.
No water dispensed, power light ON, water dispense light ON when container present at water station.
Check water supply and water filter if used for restriction. Restore water pressure.
Slow production – check condenser for dirt, clean condenser.
Slow production – check temperature of cabinet, if the room is hot or air flow restricted, production will be slow.
All indicator lights are blinking: Call for service.

Drip Tray Not Draining:

• Remove the cup holder, then check the filter beneath that, and remove any debris around the filter.
• If water starts to flow down return filter and cup holder to their positions.
• If water is still not draining, gently inserting a bottle brush in to the Drain Connection using a back and forth motion, until drainage issue is cleared.
• Gently pour sanitizer* solution directly in to the Drip Tray in order thoroughly sanitize the drain system.

Note: To prevent future clogs be sure to sanitize the Drip Tray regularly and ensure to pour only water in to the Drip Tray (ie. no coffee, soda, etc.)
Sanitizer- Mix a 1 gallon of locally approved sanitizer (such as NuCalgon) and slowly pour in to the Drain Connection to help prevent future drainage issues. Certain environments may require more frequent sanitizing.

For The Service Tech – R290

Refrigeration service should only be attempted by a trained trade professional certified to work on R290 systems.
Here are some critical service items.
This list does not qualify anyone to service the unit.
It is a reminder and checklist for the service tech.

Keep these in mind for R290 service:

• Wire nuts are NOT to be used when changing an electrical part.
• The process tubes are to be used for service access.
• Cut out (with tubing cutter) refrigeration components that are to be replaced. Do NOT un-braze.
• Because R290 can be vented into the air during service, the venting MUST be in an area free from flame or spark. It must be near an open window or door.
• A sign noting service of a system containing propane must be attached to the unit during refrigeration service.
• A combustible gas leak detector must be used to inform anyone in the area when propane is present in the air.

Other Information:

Evacuation: It is critical that a refrigeration system be leak free and internally dry. A thorough evacuation with a good vacuum pump with a micron gauge attached is the only way to ensure that the system is dry and ready for a charge of refrigerant.

Charging: The system is critically charged and the proper type and amount MUST be weighed in.

Decommissioning

Only use a qualified technician who is familiar with R290 refrigerant for decommissioning as special tools and containers are required for removal, transportation, and disposal of highly flammable propane.
Utilize good operating practices to maintain safety are advised and follow local, state, and federal guidelines for proper disposal.

• Before attempting the procedure ensure that all necessary tools and mechanical equipment are available.
• All protective gear is to be used the whole time and have recovery equipment and cylinders readily available.
• All containers used for recovery must have proper labels showing they can be used for R290 refrigerant.
• Before starting refrigerant recovery, place refrigerants on scales. Do not over fill containers more than 80% of volume and do not exceed working pressure of container.
• Before using recovery machine, make sure it is in satisfactory working order and that electrical components are properly sealed to prevent any type of ignition.
• Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigerating system or mixed to another container.
• When moving refrigerant from a system use good practice; that all refrigerants are removed safely.
• All recovered refrigerant must be returned to refrigerant supplier for proper disposal.
• If compressor or compressor oils are removed ensure it has been removed to an acceptable level so the flammable refrigerant does not remain in the lubricant.
