II. Installation and Operating Instructions
A. Checks Before Installation
IMPORTANT
1. Install in accordance with all applicable national, state, and local regulations.
ꢀ. Remove shipping carton, tape, and packing. If any are left in the icemaker, it
will not work properly.
3. Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place
after installation.
•
Remove the top panel and front panel to prevent damage when installing the
icemaker.
•
•
Remove the package containing the accessories.
Remove the protective plastic film from the panels. If the icemaker is exposed
to the sun or to heat, remove the film after the icemaker cools.
•
Check that the refrigerant lines do not rub or touch lines or other surfaces, and
that the fan blade turns freely.
•
•
Check that the compressor is snug on all mounting pads.
See the nameplate on the rear panel, and check that your voltage supplied
corresponds with the voltage specified on the nameplate.

C. Location
CAUTION
This icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient
temperature should be within +45°F to +100°F (+7°C to +38°C); Normal
operating water temperature should be within +45°F to +90°F (+7°C to +3ꢀ°C).
Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal
temperature ranges may affect icemaker performance.
For best operating results:
• Icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing
equipment.
• Location should provide a firm and level foundation for the equipment.
• Allow ꢀ4" (61 cm) clearance at top to allow for removal of the auger and for ease of
maintenance and/or service should they be required.
D. Setup
1) Attach the four adjustable legs provided to the bottom of the icemaker.
ꢀ) Position the icemaker in the selected permanent location.
3) Level the icemaker from side-to-side and front-to-rear by adjusting the legs.
E. Electrical Connection
WARNING
The GREEN ground wire in the factory-installed power cord is connected
to a screw on the bracket where the cord enters the machine. If it becomes
necessary to remove or replace the power cord, be sure to connect the power
cord's ground wire to this screw upon reattachment.
• Electrical connections must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state
and local regulations.
• The unit requires an independent power supply. See the nameplate for proper voltage
and breaker/fuse size.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
F. Water Supply and Drain Connections
• Water supply inlet is 1/ꢀ" female pipe thread (FPT).
• A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve must be installed. A minimum of
3/8" OD copper tubing is recommended for the water supply lines.
• Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG.
If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required.
• Drain outlet is 3/4" FPT.
• Drain line must have 1/4" fall per foot (ꢀ cm per 1 m) on horizontal runs to get good
flow. A vented tee connection is also required for proper flow.

• Drain line should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of
ꢀ vertical inches (5 cm) should be between the end of the drain pipe from the unit and
the floor drain.
• This icemaker must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local
regulations.
• A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.

B. Maintenance
IMPORTANT
1. This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction
manual and labels provided with the icemaker.
ꢀ. To achieve optimum icemaker performance, the following parts need periodic
inspection and maintenance:
Extruding Head and Upper Bearing
Housing and Lower Bearing
Evaporator Cylinder
Auger
Gear Motor
Mechanical Seal
These parts should be inspected at least once a year or every 10,000
hours of operation. Their service life, however, depends on water quality and
environment. More frequent inspection and maintenance are recommended
in bad or severe water conditions.
Replacement of the following consumable parts is recommended if wear
exceeds factory recommendations:
Upper Bearing
Lower Bearing
Mechanical Seal
Consult with your local distributor about inspection and maintenance
service. To obtain the name and phone number of your local distributor, call
Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-ꢀ33-1940 in the USA.
1. Stainless Steel Exterior
To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean and soft cloth. Use a
damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
2. Storage Bin and Scoop
• Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (bin accessory).
• The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin.
• Keep the scoop clean. Clean using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
• Clean the bin liner using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
3. Air Filters
Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt or dust from the air, and keep the condenser from
getting clogged. As the filters get clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced.
Check the filters at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and a neutral
cleaner to wash the filters.
4. Condenser
Check the condenser once a year, and clean if required by using a brush or vacuum
cleaner. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the location of the
icemaker.

C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
CAUTION
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it
is sufficient to only move the power switch to the "OFF" position. When storing
the icemaker for extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, turn the water
off and drain out all water from the water lines and remove the ice from the bin.
The bin should be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker water hoses using air
or carbon dioxide to prevent damage at sub-freezing temperatures.
1) Run the icemaker with the potable water supply line shut-off valve closed. Allow the unit
to make ice until it stops automatically.
ꢀ) Open the potable water supply line drain valve and blow the line out using compressed
air or carbon dioxide.
3) Remove the front panel and move the flush switch to the "FLUSH" position to drain out
the remaining water from the icemaker.
4) After the water has drained, move the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug
the unit.
5) Replace the front panel in its correct position.
6) Close the potable water supply line drain valve.
7) Remove all ice from the storage bin and clean the bin.
