WARNING
The appliance should be destined only to the use for which it has been expressly conceived. Any other use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting
from improper, incorrect, and unreasonable use. Failure to install, operate, and maintain the appliance in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage and may result in costly water damage.
To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire, follow basic precautions including the following:

  • Only qualified service technicians should install and service the appliance.
  • The appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations.
  • Electrical connection must be hard-wired and must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.
  • The icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or fire.
  • THE ICEMAKER MUST BE GROUNDED. Failure to properly ground the icemaker could result in death or serious injury.
  • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch with damp hands.
  • Move the control switch to the “OFF” position and turn off the power supply before servicing. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power supply from being turned back on inadvertently.
  • Do not make any alterations to the appliance. Alterations could result in electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.
  • The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
  • Children should be properly supervised around the appliance.
  • Do not climb, stand, or hang on the appliance or allow children or animals to do so. Serious injury could occur or the appliance could be damaged.
  • Do not use combustible spray or place volatile or flammable substances near the appliance. They might catch fire.
  • Keep the area around the appliance clean. Dirt, dust, or insects in the appliance could cause harm to individuals or damage to the appliance.

NOTICE

  • Follow the water supply, drain connection, and maintenance instructions carefully to reduce the risk of costly water damage.
  • In areas where water damage is a concern, install in a contained area with a floor drain.
  • Install the icemaker in a location that stays above freezing. Normal operating ambient temperature must be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C).
  • Do not leave the icemaker on during extended periods of non-use, extended absences, or in sub-freezing temperatures. To properly prepare the icemaker for these occasions, follow the instructions in “IV. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of Non-Use.”
  • Do not place objects on top of the appliance.
  • The dispenser unit/ice storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the dispenser unit/ice storage bin.

Electrical Connection

WARNING
For All Models

  • Electrical connection must be hard-wired and must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage.

  • The icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See
    the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or fire.

  • THE ICEMAKER MUST BE GROUNDED. Failure to properly ground the icemaker could result in death or serious injury.

  • Electrical connection must be made in accordance with the instructions on the “WARNING” tag, provided with the pig tail leads in the junction boxHOSHIZAKI KM-1100MAJ50 Modular Crescent Cuber 11

  • Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.

  • The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10 percent of the nameplate rating.

  • NOTICE! The main transformer’s voltage tap switch must be positioned to match incoming voltage at startup.

  • The opening for the power supply connection is 7/8″ DIA to fit a 1/2″ trade size conduit.

Water Supply and Drain Connections

WARNING
Water supply and drain connections must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local regulations.
NOTICE

  • Normal operating water temperature should be within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C). Operation of the appliance, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature range may affect appliance performance.

  • Water supply pressure must 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.

  • To prevent damage to the appliance, do not operate the appliance when the water supply is off, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG. Do not run the appliance until the proper water pressure is reached.

  • External filters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality. Contact your local Hoshizaki Certified Service Representative or local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations.

  • A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.

  • The icemaker drain line, ice storage bin drain line, and water-cooled condenser drain line must be run separately. The condensation drain line can be connected to the icemaker drain line or can be run separately.

  • Drain lines must have 1/4″ fall per foot (2 cm per 1 m) on horizontal runs to get a good flow. A vented tee connection is also required for proper flow.

  • Drain lines should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of 2 vertical inches (5 cm) should be between the end of the drain pipes from the icemaker and condensation drain, ice storage bin, and water-cooled condenser and the floor drain.

Condenser| Inspect. Clean if necessary by using a brush or vacuum cleaner. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on location.
Water Hoses| Inspect the water hoses and clean/replace if necessary.

Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions

The icemaker must be cleaned and sanitized at least once a year. More frequent cleaning and sanitizing may be required in some water conditions.|
WARNING

  • To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia type cleaners.
  • Carefully follow any instructions provided with the bottles of cleaning and sanitizing solution.
  • Always wear liquid-proof gloves and goggles to prevent the cleaning and sanitizing solutions from coming into contact with skin or eyes.
