INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. CONSTRUCTION
2. LOCATION
   WARNING
   This icemaker is not intended for outdoor use.
   The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing equipment.
   This appliance is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be used.
   CAUTION
   The location should provide a firm and level foundation for the icemaker.
   NOTICE
   Do not place anything on top of the icemaker or in front of the louver.
   IMPORTANT
   Normal operating ambient temperature should be within 1°C to 40°C. Water connection is cold water only. Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
   Allow the clearance specified below for proper air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required.
   

[Air-cooled model] [Water-cooled model] In some high humidity environments, condensation may form inside the machine and drip onto the floor. Do not install where the floor can be affected by water.

Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This icemaker requires an earth that meets the national and local electrical code requirements.
Disconnect the main power supply before any maintenance, repairs or cleaning is undertaken.

• The main control box fuse is rated at 5A and should only be replaced by a qualified service engineer.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.

For the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland only

• The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

  • Green & Yellow = Earth
  • Blue = Neutral
  • Brown = Live

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green-and-Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the symbol or coloured Green or Green-and-Yellow. The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.

• • Should the socket outlets in the installation site not be suitable for the plug supplied with your product, the plug must be removed (cut off if it is moulded on plug) and an appropriate plug fitted.
    If the non-rewirable plug has been cut from the power supply cord, it must be disposed of. There should be no attempt to reuse it. Inserting such a plug into a socket elsewhere presents a serious risk of electrical shock.
• • The non-rewirable plug must never be used without a fuse cover being fitted.
    The correct replacement for the detachable fuse cover is identifiable from the manufacturer’s reference number stamped on the plug.
    Supply of replacement fuse covers can be obtained from Hoshizaki Parts/Service Centres.
    Fuses should be rated at 13A and approved to BS 1362.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Connect to potable cold water supply only.

• • The connections to the mains water supply must be made in accordance with the countries’ current requirements of the Water Supply or Water Fittings Regulations.
• • Icemaking water must be potable water. Where scaling can be caused by water quality:
    • Installation of an external filter or softener is recommended. Contact your local water treatment professional or Hoshizaki service agent.
    • Change to the “full drain flush” mode is recommended. Contact your local Hoshizaki service agent.
• • A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not step into the storage bin, or put your hands into the back of the storage bin or the ice chute on top of the storage bin. Ice may drop off the icemaker, a hard block of ice may suddenly break down, or the icemaking mechanism may suddenly move, resulting in injury.

NOTICE
All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may result in failure.
If the unit is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor.

HYGIENE
This icemaker is designed to produce edible ice. To keep the icemaker hygienic:

• • 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 nor use other electrical appliances in the bin.
• • Clean the storage bin before use (see “III. 1. CLEANING”).
• • Keep the scoop clean. Clean it by using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
• • Close the door after removing ice to prevent entrance of dirt, dust or insects into the storage bin.

START UP
The installer will normally commission the icemaker to start the automatic icemaking process. To ensure continuous operation, make sure that:

• • The water supply tap is on, and
• • The icemaker is connected to the power supply.

PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE
NOTICE
This icemaker will not work at subfreezing temperatures. To prevent damage to the water supply line, drain the icemaker when air temperature is below zero.

HYGIENE
When shutting down the icemaker for two or more days, drain the icemaker to prevent contamination in the water circuit.

1. Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power supply.
2. Close the water supply tap, and remove the inlet hose.
3. Remove all ice from the storage bin, and clean the bin.
4. Ask for draining of the icemaker by professional qualified personnel.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
WARNING
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the icemaker from the electrical supply network.
This appliance must not be cleaned by use of a water jet.

CAUTION
When using a neutral cleaner or sodium hypochlorite, thoroughly read and understand the instructions provided to prevent potential health problems.

NOTICE
Ask a trained service person to clean and sanities the icemaker water system at least twice a year and to check and clean the condenser at least once a year.

To prevent possible damage, do not clean the plastic parts with water above 40°C or in a dishwasher.

• [a] Machine and Bin Exterior
  Wipe the exterior at least once per week with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off grease or dirt.

• [b] Scoop and Storage Bin Handle Cleaning/Sanitisation (Daily)

1. Either mix 1 litre of water with 4 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a suitable container, or the recommended Hoshizaki sanitiser as directed.

2. Soak the scoop in the solution for more than 3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and shake to remove surplus liquid.
   Note: Using a cloth to dry may re-contaminate.

3. Use a neutral cleaner to wash the storage bin handle. Rinse thoroughly.

4. Soak a clean cloth with the sanitising solution, and wipe the handle. Use fresh water and a clean cloth to rinse/dry.

• [c] Storage Bin Interior Cleaning/Sanitization (Weekly)

1. Open the storage bin door, and remove all ice.
   Note: Hoshizaki recommends various types of storage bin for the icemaker which vary in size and design. The following instructions are therefore for general guidance only.

2. Remove the thumbscrews securing the baffle.

3. Remove the baffle from the bin.

4. Wash the bin liner and baffle with a neutral non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Either mix 5 liters of water with 18 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a suitable container, or the recommended Hoshizaki sanitizer as directed.

6. Soak a clean sponge or cloth with the solution, and wipe the bin liner surfaces and baffle.

7. Refit the baffle and thumbscrews. Wipe the surface of the bin door and thumbscrews with the solution. Close the bin door.

8. The remaining solution can be used to sanities utensils.

Note: Do not wipe dry or rinse after sanitizing, but allow to air dry.

• [d] Air Filter (Air-Cooled Model Only)
  Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt or dust from the air, and keep the condenser from getting clogged. If the filters get clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced. Remove and clean the air filter(s) at least twice per month:

1. Slide the air filter off the louver.
2. Clean the air filter by using a vacuum cleaner. When severely clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the air filter.
3. Rinse and dry the air filter thoroughly.

NOTICE
After cleaning, be sure to place the air filter back in position.
