Maintenance; Preparing The Icemaker For Long Storage - Hoshizaki KM-1800SWH/3 Service Manual

B. Maintenance
This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction
manual and labels provided with the unit.
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 it by using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
• Clean the bin liner by using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
3. Air Filters (air-cooled models only)
The plastic mesh air filters located behind the louvers 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 they are
clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filters.
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 the location of the
icemaker or condenser unit.
C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from
the water tank 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 subfreezing 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 subfreezing
temperatures.
1. On water-cooled model only, first remove the water from the water-cooled
condenser:
1) Remove the front panel.
