III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING 1. This icemaker is designed to produce and store edible ice. To keep the icemaker hygienic: * 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.
4) The following should occur in sequence: a) Hot gas valve will open. b) Compressor will start. c) Water pan will fully open. d) Water valve will open. e) Water pan will start to close (hot gas valve closed). f) Water pan fully closed - pump motor will start. g) Water valve will close.
10) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 11) Replace the inlet hose in its correct position. 3. BIN CONTROL Bin control switch is mounted on the upper side of the storage bin. This switch will turn off the unit automatically when the storage bin is full of ice.
[b] REMOVAL BRACKET COVER Push the two pawls and remove the bracket cover. SWITCH Pull out the switch, holding the rubber leads cap. Handle with care. SWITCH ACTUATOR Insert a flat blade screwdriver and wrench it slightly to pull out the switch actuator. Handle with care to prevent damage to the cam surface of the actuator.
[3] Storage Bin Interior Cleaning/Sanitisation (Weekly) 1) Open the storage bin door, and remove all ice. Note: Hoshizaki recommends various types of storage bin for the icemaker which vary in size and design. The following instructions are therefore for general...
Page 28
5) Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and a clean cloth to wipe off the solution. Close the bin door. Note: Some solutions may cause damage to the bin liner surfaces or corrosion on the metal parts. Always rinse the sanitiser unless directed otherwise by Hoshizaki guidelines. [4] Air Filter (Air-Cooled Model Only) Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt or dust from the air, and keep the condenser from getting clogged.
2. WATER VALVE 1) Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power source. 2) Close the water supply tap. 3) Remove the top panel and front panel. 4) Disconnect the inlet hose from the water valve. 5) Remove the mesh filter from the water valve. 6) Clean the mesh using a brush.
3. WATER-COOLED CONDENSER Deposits inside the water circuit of the water-cooled condenser decrease cooling performance. Clean inside of the condenser by circulating a cleaning solution. 1) Prepare the following: Cleaning solution [Read and follow any instructions on label or bottle.] Pump Container for solution Hose...
1. Always wear rubber gloves, eye protectors, apron, etc. for safe handling of the cleaner and sanitizer. 2. Use the cleaners and sanitizers recommended by Hoshizaki. Contact your local Hoshizaki office for further details. (The instructions below give an example of those recommended cleaners and sanitizers.) 3.
Page 32
16) Use a suitable container to dilute 44 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution with 11.4 lit. of water. * Alternatively use the Hoshizaki recommended sanitizer as directed by the relevant instructions. 17) Close the water supply tap. Plug in the icemaker or connect the power source.
Page 33
18) When the flush mode has started, pour the cleaning solution prepared in 16) carefully into the water tank within 60 seconds before the pump motor starts. Do not splash or spill the solution onto the other parts. 19) Circulate the sanitizing solution for 15 minutes. Push the reset switch to open the water pan.

VI. SERVICE DIAGNOSIS 1. ERROR CODE INDICATION * See the controller board service manual for detailed diagnosis and remedies. * The error and caution codes other than E1 and E2 are indicated as “EE” in the 7-segment display at the time of occurrence. But the error history is recorded as the actual error codes in parenthesis, and a maximum of five errors are indicated from the latest entry.
2. NO ERROR CODE INDICATION Problem Check Possible Cause Remedy Icemaker will Power source Turned off. Turn on. not start. Supply voltage too low. Remove cause Power failure Wait until power is resumed. Transformer Defective. Replace. Power cord Not connected properly. Reconnect.
Page 49
Problem Check Possible Cause Remedy Imperfect ice Insufficient water Water valve filter clogged. Clean. production. supply Water supply cycle too short. Extend. Water supply pressure too low. Remove cause. Water leaks from Water tank broken. Replace. water tank or Water plate broken. Replace.
VII. ADJUSTMENT 1. EXPANSION VALVE The expansion valve is factory-adjusted. Do not adjust it except at replacement or service. Adjust the valve setting, if necessary, as follows: 1) Remove the cap nut. 2) Rotate the adjust screw by using a flat blade screwdriver. 3) Watch holes of ice cubes produced.
2. WATER REGULATING VALVE - WATER-COOLED MODEL ONLY The water regulating valve is factory-adjusted. Do not adjust it except at replacement or service. Adjust the valve setting, if necessary, as follows: 1) Attach a pressure gauge to high-side line, or prepare a thermometer to check condenser drain temperature.
3. FULL DRAIN FLUSH In some hard water areas, white ice and scaling can be caused. In such case, install a filter or softener, and change the flush mode from “partial drain flush” to “full drain flush” according to the following instructions. Full drain flush –...
VIII. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT 1. SERVICE FOR REFRIGERANT LINES [a] SERVICE INFORMATION 1) Allowable Compressor Opening Time and Prevention of Lubricant Mixture [R404A] The compressor must not be opened more than 30 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.
type copper tubes are used in the shipped units.) 7) Evacuation, Vacuum Pump and Refrigerant Charge [R404A] 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.
Note: Always charge in the liquid stage, as many refrigerants are blends and vapour charging will affect the blend consistency (e.g. R404A). 7) Turn on the icemaker. Release the high-side access connector, and allow pressure in the charging line to slowly enter the low side of the system. Cap off the high- side access valve.
17) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 18) Plug in the icemaker or connect the power source. Note: Hoshizaki recommends that compressor starting electrics are always replaced at the same time as the compressor. 3. DRIER 1) Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power source.
9) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 10) Plug in the icemaker or connect the power source. Note: Always use a drier of the correct capacity and refrigerant type. 4. EXPANSION VALVE IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
