II. Installation and Operating Instructions  
1. Checks Before Installation  
WARNING  
Remove shipping carton, tape(s) and packing. If packing material is left in the  
icemaker, it will not work properly.  
IMPORTANT  
Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place.  
1) Remove the front panel to prevent damage when installing the icemaker. See Fig. 1.  
2) Remove the package containing the accessories from inside the icemaker.  
3) 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.  
4) Check that the refrigerant lines do not rub or touch lines or other surfaces, and that the  
fan blade turns freely.  
5) Check that the compressor is snug on all mounting pads.  
6) See the nameplate on the rear panel, and check that your voltage supplied corresponds  
with the voltage specified on the nameplate.

3. Location  
WARNING  
This icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient  
temperature should be within +45°F to +100°F; Normal operating water  
temperature should be within +45°F to +90°F. Operation of the icemaker, for  
extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect  
production capacity.  
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 6" clearance at rear and sides for proper air circulation and ease of maintenance  
and /or service should they be required. Allow 24" clearance at top to allow for  
removal of the auger.  
4. Setup  
1) Unpack the icemaker and remove all shipping carton, tape(s) and packing.  
2) Provide four 6" adjustable legs and attach them to the bottom of the icemaker.  
3) Position the icemaker in the selected permanent site.  
4) Level the icemaker in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions.

5. Electrical Connection  
WARNING  
1. Electrical connection must be made in accordance with the instructions on a  
“WARNING” tag provided with the pig tail leads in the junction box.  
2. This icemaker requires a ground that meets the national and local electrical  
code requirements. To prevent possible electrical shock to individuals or  
extensive damage to the equipment, install a proper ground wire to the  
icemaker.  
• The white lead must be connected to the neutral conductor of the power source. Miswiring  
results in severe damage to the icemaker. See Fig. 2.  
• This icemaker must have a separate power supply or receptacle of proper capacity. See  
the nameplate.  
• The opening for the power supply connection is 7/8" DIA to fit a 1/2" trade size conduit.  
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.

6. Water Supply and Drain Connections  
See Fig. 3  
• External filters, strainers or softeners may be required depending on the water  
quality.  
• Water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT).  
• A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should 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.  
Drainoutletforicemakingis3/4"FPT.Theicemakerdrainpipingconnectionmustbemade  
separately from the bin drain.  
• The drains must have 1/4" fall per foot on horizontal runs to get a good flow.  
• The drains should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of  
2 vertical inches should be between the end of the drain pipe from the icemaker or the ice  
bin and the floor drain.  
• A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.

7. Final Check List  
1) Is the icemaker level?  
2) Is the icemaker in a site where the ambient temperature is within +45°F to +100°F and  
the water temperature within +45°F to +90°F all year around?  
3) Is there at least 6" clearance at rear and sides and 24" at top for maintenance or  
service?  
4) Have all shipping carton, tape(s) and packing been removed from the icemaker?  
5) Are all components, fasteners and thumbscrews securely in place?  
6) Have all electrical and piping connections been made?  
7) Has the power supply voltage been checked or tested against the nameplate rating and  
the correct voltage selected? And has a proper ground been installed in the icemaker?  
8) Are the water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve installed? Has the water  
supply pressure been checked to ensure a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of  
113 PSIG?  
Note: The icemaker may stop running when the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure  
is below 10 PSIG. When the proper water pressure is reached, the icemaker  
automatically starts running again.  
9) Have the compressor hold-down bolts and refrigerant lines been checked against  
vibration and possible failure?  
10) Has the bin control switch been checked for correct operation? Move the actuator  
located on the inside of the bin top panel. The compressor should stop within  
90 seconds, and the gear motor within 150 seconds.  
11) Has the end user been given the instruction manual, and instructed on how to operate  
the icemaker and the importance of the recommended periodic maintenance?  
12) Has the end user been given the name and telephone number of an authorized service  
agent?  
13) Has the warranty tag been filled out and forwarded to the factory for warranty  
registration?  
14) Have the safety switch brackets moved out of location during shipping? Check on top of  
the spout and connecting the evaporator to the bin wall.

Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after  
any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment.  
1. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions  
WARNING  
1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least once a year. More  
frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water  
conditions.  
2. To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use  
ammonia type cleaners.

“LIME-A-WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 0.8 gallons (3 l) of warm water. This is a  
minimum amount. Make more solution if necessary.  
IMPORTANT  
For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately after  
dilution.

2. Maintenance  
IMPORTANT  
1. This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction  
manual and labels provided with the icemaker.  
2. To have the optimum performance of this icemaker, the following  
consumable parts need periodic inspection, maintenance and replacement:  
Extruding Head  
Housing  
Gear Motor  
Auger  
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.  
Consult with your local distributor about inspection and maintenance service.  
To obtain the name and phone number of your local distributor, call Hoshizaki  
Care at 1-800-233-1940 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 (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 Filter  
A plastic mesh air filter removes dirt or dust from the air, and keeps the condenser  
from getting clogged. As the filter gets clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be  
reduced. Check the filter at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and  
a neutral cleaner to wash the filter.  
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.
