Preparing The Icemaker For Long Storage - Hoshizaki KML-631MAH Instruction Manual

B. Maintenance
This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction
manual and labels provided with the icemaker.
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 it by using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
• Clean the bin liner by using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
3. Air Filter (air-cooled model only)
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 (air-cooled and remote air-cooled models only)
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 location.
C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from
the water line and remove the ice from the storage bin. The storage bin should
be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker to prevent damage to the water
supply line at sub-freezing temperatures, using air or carbon dioxide. Shut off
the icemaker until the proper ambient temperature is resumed.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days, it is sufficient to only move the control
switch to the "OFF" position, unless the icemaker will be at sub-freezing temperatures.
1. On water-cooled model only, first remove the water from the water-cooled
condenser:
1) Turn off the power supply and remove the front panel and right side panel.
) Close the condenser water supply line shut-off valve. See Fig. 9.
3) Open the condenser water supply line drain valve.
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line
drain valve.
