II. Installation and Operating Instructions WARNING • The icemaker must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations. • Failure to install, operate, and maintain the icemaker in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage and may result in costly water damage.
• NOTICE! Remote models must be connected to an appropriate remote condenser unit. The remote condenser units listed below are recommended. Connection to a different remote condenser unit will void the warranty unless Hoshizaki approves a different remote condenser unit for your specific application. For further details, contact your local Hoshizaki distributor.
2) Position the dispenser unit/ice storage bin in its permanent location. 3) If required, install an adapter kit or top kit. Contact your local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations. 4) Level the dispenser unit/ice storage bin in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions.
E. 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. •...

7) Connect the refrigerant lines to the appropriate male fittings on the remote condenser unit first and then at the icemaker. Make a proper connection as follows: a. Remove the protective covers from the male fitting and female coupling. b. Apply Polyol Ester (POE) refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube to the entire male fitting, including O-ring, diaphragm, and threads, before making the connection.
6. Electrical Connection WARNING • Electrical connection 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. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, make all remote condenser unit connections before connecting the icemaker power supply.
3) Install a ground wire from the icemaker fan motor junction box to the remote condenser unit junction box. Use wire of an appropriate gage and outdoor rating. 4) Install line and neutral wires from the fan motor leads in the icemaker fan motor junction box to the leads in the remote condenser unit junction box.
