    II. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT 1. This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction manual and labels provided with the icemaker. 2. To achieve optimum icemaker performance, the following parts need periodic inspection and maintenance: Extruding head (upper bearing) Housing (lower bearing) Mechanical seal These parts should be inspected after two years from installation or 10,000 hours of...
  • Page 32: Gear Motor

    Note: The water leakage will exceed the above amount with scale/dirt build up or damage on the mating surface. Replace the mechanical seal when the water leakage exceeds 0.5 mL/h. 3. GEAR MOTOR After the following hours of operation, check the gear motor for excessive noise caused by increased torque or deterioration of mechanical parts.
  • Page 33: Control Water Valve

    6. CONTROL WATER VALVE 1) Disconnect the power source. 2) Close the water supply tap. 3) Disconnect the inlet hose from the water valve. 4) Clean the filter packing using a brush. 5) Replace the filter packing and inlet hose in their correct positions. 6) Open the water supply tap.
  • Page 34: Cleaning Of Water System

    7. CLEANING OF WATER SYSTEM WARNING 1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least twice a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions. 2. Do not touch the operation switch with damp hands. 3. Always wear rubber gloves, eye protectors, apron, etc. for safe handling of the cleaner and sanitiser.
  • Page 35 3) Remove all ice from the storage bin to avoid contamination by the cleaner. 4) Unplug the icemaker. Remove the top and front panels. 5) Remove the cover of the reservoir. Remove any loose debris or scale. 6) Carefully fill the reservoir with the solution to the overflow point. If necessary, use a small brush to clean the inside of the reservoir.

  • Page 70: [A] Evaporator (Casing)

    [a] EVAPORATOR (CASING) The evaporator consists of a stainless steel icemaking cylinder coiled with a refrigeration pipe and wrapped together with a polyurethane foam insulation material. Water coming from the inlet into the evaporator will be frozen into ice. The ice spout is located on top of the evaporator.
  • Page 71: [H] Belt Heater

    [h] BELT HEATER (provided on some models) The belt heater is provided to reduce the load of ice passing the extruding head during a freeze cycle and to prevent vapor lock during a flush cycle. [i] REMOVABLE FLANGE The flange used to be welded on the evaporator to fix the spout. But sometimes the extruding head applies excessive load on the evaporator to compress ice, resulting in breaking the welded joints.

    V. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT 1. SERVICE FOR REFRIGERANT LINES [a] SERVICE INFORMATION 1) Allowable Compressor Opening Time and Prevention of Lubricant Mixture [R404A/R134A] The compressor must not be opened more than 15 minutes in replacement or service. Do not mix lubricants of different compressors even if both are charged with the same refrigerant, except when they use the same lubricant.

    7) Evacuation, Vacuum Pump and Refrigerant Charge [R404A/R134A] Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to flow backward. The vacuum level and vacuum pump may be the same as those for the current refrigerants. However, the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for evacuation and refrigerant charge should be exclusively for R404A/R134A.
  • Page 109 9) Disconnect the charging hose from the access valve. Always cap the access valve to prevent a refrigerant leak. 10) Always thoroughly leak test all joints and valve caps. 11) Avoid charging large quantities of liquid into the low side in case of damage to the compressor.

    2. BRAZING DANGER 1. Refrigerant R404A/R134A itself is not flammable, explosive and poisonous. However, when exposed to an open flame, R404A/R134A creates phosgene gas, hazardous in large amounts. 2. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in a proper container, if required by an applicable law.

    10) Place the compressor in position, and secure it using the bolts and washers. 11) Remove plugs from the discharge, suction and access pipes. 12) Braze the access, suction and discharge pipes (Do not change this order) with nitrogen gas flowing at the pressure of 0.2 - 0.3 bar. 13) Install the new drier (See "4.
  • Page 112: Expansion Valve

    5. EXPANSION VALVE IMPORTANT Sometimes moisture in the refrigerant circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.

    7. EVAPORATOR ASSEMBLY See the exploded view under “III. 3. ICEMAKING MECHANISM”. 1) Push the stop button to drain the water in the evaporator. 2) Disconnect the power source. 3) Remove the panels. 4) Remove the three thumbscrews, and take off the spout from the evaporator. 5) Remove the bin control switch.
  • Page 115 IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. 13) Remove the bulb of the expansion valve. 14) Disconnect the brazing connections of the expansion valve and the copper tube - low side from the evaporator, using brazing equipment.
  • Page 116 WARNING Be careful not to scratch the surface of the O-ring, or it may cause water leaks. Handle the mechanical seal with care not to scratch nor to contaminate its contact surface. 25) When replacing the evaporator; (a) Braze the new evaporator with nitrogen gas flowing at the pressure of 0.2 - 0.3 bar. (b) Replace the drier.

    8. CONTROL WATER VALVE 1) Disconnect the power source. 2) Close the water supply tap. 3) Remove the panels. 4) Disconnect the terminals from the control water valve. 5) Remove the cover - reservoir Inlet from the control water valve. 6) Loosen the fitting nut on the control water valve Inlets, and remove the control water valve.
