(if applicable) turns freely. • Check that the compressor is snug on all mounting pads. • See the nameplate on the rear panel, and check that your voltage supplied corresponds with the voltage specified on the nameplate. • This icemaker can be installed on a storage bin 30" wide or wider. The recommended storage bin is Hoshizaki Ice Storage Bin, Model B-500 series. For further options, contact your local Hoshizaki distributor. • A remote condenser unit is needed. Hoshizaki Remote Condenser Unit, Model URC-21F or URC-22F is recommended. B. How to Remove Panels Top Panel See Fig.
C. Location CAUTION 1. This icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient temperature should be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C); Normal operating water temperature should be within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C). Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect icemaker performance.
6) Install the bin control thermostat assembly as follows. See Fig. 3. a. Remove the shipping tape securing the thermostat bulb holder. Remove the thermostat bulb holder from the shipping hook by lifting it up and shifting to the right. b.

• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required. • The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10 percent of the nameplate rating. • On single phase models, the white lead must be connected to the neutral conductor of the power source. CAUTION! Miswiring may result in severe damage to the icemaker. See Fig. 4a. • On three phase models, the transformer’s voltage tap switch must be positioned to match incoming voltage at startup. See Fig. 4b. • CAUTION! On three phase models, connect the highest incoming voltage supply ("stinger leg") to the red power supply wire (red common wire to the compressor). • The opening for the power supply connection is 7/8" DIA to fit a 1/2" trade size conduit.
F. Installation of Remote Condenser Unit WARNING 1. Installation of the remote condenser unit must be performed by properly trained and EPA-certified service personnel. 2. The remote condenser unit must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations. 3.
4. Line Set Mounting Holes CAUTION The icemaker, line set, and remote condenser unit must contain the same type of refrigerant. Mixing of refrigerants will result in improper operation and possible damage to the refrigeration system. • Precharged factory line sets, available as optional equipment from Hoshizaki America, are recommended. For details, see "II.F.4.a) Factory Line Set Installation." Field fabricated line sets are allowed. For details, see "II.F.4.b) Field Fabricated Line Set Installation." • The maximum line length for the standard refrigerant charge is 66 feet. With additional refrigerant, the maximum line length is 100 feet. For details, see "II.F.5. Refrigerant Charge (Line Set Exceeding 66 Feet)."...
2) Insulate the two copper tubes separately. 3) Install Parker quick connect couplings on each end. OS-QUICK, a universal quick connect coupling kit available as optional equipment from Hoshizaki America, is recommended. CAUTION! Before brazing, remove the Schrader valve core from the access port.
Page 15
6) Evacuate through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick connect couplings and charge with R-404A refrigerant vapor to a pressure of 15 to 30 PSIG. 7) Connect the refrigerant lines to the appropriate male fittings on the remote condenser unit first and then at the icemaker.
The maximum line length for the standard refrigerant charge is 66 feet. Should an installation require a longer line length, additional refrigerant must be added. Add 0.4 oz. of R-404A for each foot over 66 feet to a maximum of 100 feet. Hoshizaki Technical Support is available at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations.
4) Install line and neutral wires from the fan motor leads in the icemaker to the leads in the remote condenser unit junction box. Use wire of an appropriate gage and outdoor rating. 5) Replace the junction box covers and the louver panel in their correct positions. Remote Condenser Unit Icemaker Junction Box...
10 PSIG. Do not run the icemaker until the proper water pressure is reached. • A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas. • External filters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality. Contact your local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations. • Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG. If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required. • The icemaker drain line and storage bin drain line must be run separately.

1. Icemaker • Icemaker water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT). A minimum of 3/8" nominal ID copper water tubing is recommended for the icemaker water supply line. • An icemaker water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed. • Icemaker drain outlet is 3/4" FPT. A minimum of 3/4" nominal ID hard pipe is recommended for the icemaker drain line. Condensation drain outlet is 3/8" OD hard tube. The condensation drain line can be connected to the icemaker drain line or can be run separately. Minimum 3/8" Nominal ID Copper Water Tubing Icemaker Water Supply Line Shut-Off Valve Icemaker...
H. Final Checklist WARNING CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin. 1) Is the icemaker level? 2) Is the icemaker in a site where the ambient temperature is within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 37°C) and the water temperature within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C) all year around? 3) Is there at least 6" (15 cm) clearance at sides, rear, and top of the icemaker for proper...
I. Startup WARNING 1. All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage. 2. If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor. 3.
A. Cleaning Instructions 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.
1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 27 fl. oz. (798 ml) of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" with 5 gal. (19 l) of warm 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. The defrost cycle starts and the cubes will be removed from the evaporator.
26) Remove the rubber cap covering the overflow pipe in the water tank. Remove the overflow pipe by turning it counterclockwise. Drain the water tank. Replace the overflow pipe, the rubber cap and the insulation panel in their correct positions. Note: Do not replace the insulation panel when you proceed to "2. Sanitizing Procedure." 27) Repeat the above steps 15) through 26) three more times to rinse thoroughly. Note: If you do not sanitize the icemaker, go to step 9) in "2. Sanitizing Procedure." 2. Sanitizing Procedure - Following Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 2.5 fl. oz. (74 ml or 5 tbs) of a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 5 gal.
B. Maintenance Instructions 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. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
Page 26
2. Drain the water tank: 1) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel. Move the control switch to the "OFF" position. 2) Remove the insulation panel. 3) Remove the rubber cap covering the overflow pipe in the water tank. Remove the overflow pipe by turning it counterclockwise. Allow the water tank to drain. See Fig. 14. 4) Replace the overflow pipe, the rubber cap, and the insulation panel in their correct positions. 5) Remove all ice from the storage bin. Clean the storage bin using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
