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. •...
• External filters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality. Contact your local Hoshizaki Certified Service Representative or local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations. • A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.

5. Line Set Installation WARNING • R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). • R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.
Page 23
4) Braze the liquid line copper tube to the straight copper tube and the straight copper tube to the icemaker liquid line service valve. NOTICE • Before brazing, remove the Schrader valve cores from the service valve access ports. • When brazing, protect the service valve by using a wet cloth to prevent the service valve from overheating.
b) Line Set Greater Than 66' (20 m) Up to a Maximum of 100' (30.5 m) 1) Route the factory line set or appropriate size copper tubing. When field fabricating, insulate the copper tubes separately. Leave a service loop behind the icemaker to allow the icemaker to be pulled out for service.
Page 25
15) After evacuation, add the appropriate amount of additional R-404A. See "II.G.4 Line Set Size and Refrigerant Charge" for details. Hoshizaki Technical Support is available at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. 16) Close both gauge manifold valves. 17) Open the icemaker service valves first, then open the remote condenser unit service valves.
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.
H. Final Checklist 1. Pre-Startup 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 38°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"...
2. Post-Startup WARNING • CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the dispenser unit/ice storage bin. • Confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks. 1) Has the bin control been set to the proper setting for the application? 2) Has the bin control operation been confirmed? 3) Are all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews securely in place?
2) Confirm the correct control board bin control setting required for your application and adjust as detailed below. Application Bin Control Setting Reference Standard Ice Storage Bins (Factory Default) Hoshizaki DB and DM Dispensers See Fig. 14 Coca-Cola Freestyle Dispensers ® Non-Hoshizaki Dispensers Measurement Required See Fig.

6) 1 min. fill cycle begins. Place an object 5" to 7" (127 to 178 mm) away from the bin control lens. See Fig. 17. 15 sec. later, the icemaker shuts down. Remove the object from the bin control lens. 30 sec. later, the icemaker restarts. For bin control shutdown times per cycle, see the table below.
III. Maintenance The appliance must be maintained in accordance with the instruction manual and labels provided. Consult with your local Hoshizaki Certified Service Representative about maintenance service. WARNING • Only qualified service technicians should service the appliance. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or mode switch with damp hands.
5) When the control board starts beeping (2 beep sequence), remove the front panel. Move the control switch to the "OFF" position. 6) Remove the front insulation panel, then pour 10.4 fl. oz. (308 ml) of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" into the water tank. Replace the front insulation panel.
Page 37
Sanitizing 10) Confirm the mode switch is in the "CLEAN" position, then move the control switch to the "ON" position (1 short beep occurs, then 3 seconds later 1 long beep occurs). Replace the front panel. The water tank drains and then fills. 11) When the control board starts beeping (2 beep sequence), remove the front panel.
IV. Preparing the Appliance for Periods of Non-Use NOTICE • When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below to prevent damage. • To prevent damage to the water pump seal, do not leave the control switch in the "PUMP"...
Page 39
3. On water-cooled models, remove the water from the water-cooled condenser: 1) Make sure the power supply is off, then remove the front, top, and right side panels. 2) Close the condenser water supply line shut-off valve. If connected to a closed loop system, also close the condenser return line shut-off valve.
V. Disposal The appliance contains refrigerant and must be disposed of in accordance with applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations. Refrigerant must be recovered by properly certified service personnel.
