2) Defrost Timer The defrost cycle starts when the Float Switch opens and completes the freeze cycle. But the Defrost Timer does not start counting until the Thermistor senses 48°F at the Evapora- tor outlet. The period from the end of the freeze cycle up to the point of the Thermistor's sensing varies depending on the ambient and water temperatures.

to the K1 connector. If there is a white wire, place the switch in the C position. If this switch is placed in the wrong position either the compressor contactor will remain ener- gized with the control switch OFF or the unit will not start. The dip switches should be adjusted per the adjustment chart published in the Tech Specs book.

KM-2000S_F3, OFF OFF OFF OFF KM-2000S_H3 Switch Nos. 1 and 2: Used for adjustment of the Defrost Timer. The Defrost Timer starts counting when the Thermistor reads a certain temperature at the Evaporator outlet.

1) Defrost Control A thermistor (Semiconductor) is used for a defrost control sensor. The resistance varies depending on the Suction Line temperatures. The Thermistor detects the temperature of the Evaporator outlet to start the Defrost Timer. No adjustment is required. If necessary, check for resistance between Thermistor leads, and visually check the Thermistor mounting, located on the Suction Line next to the Evaporator outlet.

V. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. IMPORTANT 1. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
Remember to loosen the connection, and purge the air from the Hose. For water-cooled models, see the Nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled models, see the Charge Label in the machine compartment. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No.
3. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPRESSOR 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. Note: When replacing a Compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the new Start Capacitor and Start Relay supplied with the replacement Compressor.
15) Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. See the Nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. 16) Connect the Terminals, and replace the Terminal Cover in its correct position. 17) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 18) Turn on the power supply. 4.
5. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF 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.
6. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF HOT GAS VALVE AND LINE VALVE CAUTION Always use a copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing the hot gas lines; otherwise the performance may be reduced. 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.
11) Connect the new Solenoid leads. 12) Attach the Solenoid to the valve body, and secure it with a screw. 13) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 14) Turn on the power supply. 7. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF EVAPORATOR IMPORTANT Always install a new Drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
8. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF WATER REGULATING VALVE - WATER-COOLED MODEL ONLY 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. 1) Turn off the power supply.
9. ADJUSTMENT OF WATER REGULATING VALVE - WATER-COOLED MODEL ONLY The Water Regulating Valve (also called “WATER REGULATOR”) is factory-adjusted. No adjustment is required under normal use. Adjust the Water Regulator, if necessary, using the following procedures. 1) Attach a pressure gauge to the high-side line of the system. Or prepare a thermometer to check for the condenser drain temperature.
10. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF CONDENSING PRESSURE REGULATOR (C.P.R.) - REMOTE AIR-COOLED MODEL ONLY 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. 1) Turn off the power supply.
11. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF THERMISTOR CAUTION 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. Always use a recommended sealant (High Thermal Conductive Type), Model KE4560RTV manufactured by SHINETSU SILICONE, Part Code 60Y000-11, or Part Code 4A0683-01 equivalent. 3. Always use a recommended foam insulation (Non-absorbent Type) or equivalent. 1) Turn off the power supply.
12. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF FAN MOTOR Note: When replacing a Fan Motor with defective winding, it is recommended that a new capacitor be installed. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Remove the Junction Box Cover from the remote condenser unit (Remote Air-cooled model). 4) Remove the closed end connectors from the Fan Motor leads.
13. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF WATER VALVE 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Close the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve. 3) Remove the Front Panel. 4) Remove the Valve Outlet Tubing by releasing the Clamp. 5) Remove the Bracket from the unit. 6) Remove the Fitting Nut and Water Valve.
7) Remove the closed end connectors from the Pump Motor leads. 8) Remove the two screws and the Pump Motor Bracket. 9) Remove the Pump Housing, and check the Impeller. 10) If the Impeller is defective, install a new Impeller. 11) Install the new motor or new parts, and replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed.
VI. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 1. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. WARNING 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.
Page 51
[2] Remove the water from the potable water supply line: 1) Remove the Front Panel. (Except water-cooled model) 2) Move the Control Switch, on the Control Box, to the “OFF” position. 3) Wait 3 minutes. 4) Close the Potable Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve and open the Potable Water Supply Line Drain Valve.
WARNING 1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least once a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions. 2. To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia type cleaners.
[a] CLEANING PROCEDURE 1) Dilute 38 fl. oz. of the recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 7 gal. of water. 2) Remove all ice from the Evaporator and the Storage Bin. Note: To remove cubes on the Evaporator, turn off the power supply and turn it on after 3 minutes.
Page 54
19) Turn on the power supply to fill the Water Tank with water. 20) Turn off the power supply after 3 minutes. 21) Remove the Front Panel, and fully open the Cleaning Valve. 22) Move the Control Switch to the “Wash” position. 23) Replace the Front Panel in its correct position.
[b] SANITIZING PROCEDURE - Following Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute a 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with water (Add 3.5 fl. oz. of sanitizer to 7 gal. of water). 2) Remove the Insulation Panel, if it is in its normal position. 3) Pour the sanitizing solution into the Water Tank.
3. MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT 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.
