STORAGE BIN
The Scotsman bins for these units are the B 193
and B 393. Other bins may be available with bin
tops to vary the storage capacity. Lay the bin on
its back, using cardboard from the carton to
support it, screw in the legs.
Stand the bin upright, and correct any possible
small tears in the machine mounting gasket with
food grade silicone sealant.
ICE MACHINE
The use of a mechanical lift is recommended for
lifting the uncrated icemaker onto the bin.
Remove front, top and sides panels.
Place the unit directly onto the bin, align it with
the back of the bin. Locate the hardware package,
take out two mounting screws, and use them to
secure the Icemaker to the two sides of the bin.
See illustration below.
Remove all shipping material as well as the masking FOR THE PLUMBER
