c) High Temperature Safety — 53 ± 4°C The temperature of the suction line in the refrigerant circuit is limited by the high temperature safety. During the defrost cycle the evaporator temperature rises. The thermistor senses 9°C and starts the defrost timer. After the defrost timer counts down to zero, the normal freeze cycle begins.

The application switch located between relay X3 & X4 must be set to match the original board application. Place this switch in the ALP position if there is no white wire supplied 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 energized with the control switch OFF or the unit will not start.
3. Sequence 1st Cycle 1. Unit energized and control switch to “ICE” position. Water supply cycle starts. 2. After 1 minute. Defrost cycle starts. 5. After the first 5 minutes in freeze cycle. Ready to complete freeze cycle when float switch circuit opens.

2nd Cycle and after with no pump drain IMPORTANT Freeze cycle time is limited by the freeze timer factory setting even if the float switch does not open. 1. Float switch opens and signals to complete freeze cycle. 4. After the first 5 minutes in freeze cycle. Ready to complete freeze cycle when float switch circuit opens.
4. Controls and Adjustments The dip switch is factory-adjusted to the following positions: Dip Switch No. KM-1300SAH-E OFF OFF ON 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.
Page 15
a) 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.
Page 16
c) Drain Timer The drain timer is factory-adjusted and no adjustment is required. Dip Switch Setting No. 3 No. 4 T1: Time to drain the water tank T2: Time to restrain defrost completion d) Drain Counter Do not adjust the drain counter, or the evaporator may freeze up. The drain counter is factory-adjusted to drain the water tank every 10 cycles, and no adjustment is required.
e) Freeze Timer Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly. The freeze timer is factory adjusted and no adjustment is required. This setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent possible freeze-up issues. Dip Switch Setting (minutes) No.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. 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.
5) Disconnect the vacuum pump, and attach a refrigerant service cylinder to the high-side line. Remember to loosen the connection, and purge the air from the hose. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
C. Removal and Replacement of Compressor 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.
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. D. Removal and Replacement of Drier Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
E. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve 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.
F. Removal and Replacement of Hot Gas Valve Always use a copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing the hot gas lines; otherwise performance may be reduced. 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.
13) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 14) Turn on the power supply. G. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator 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.
H. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor 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, or equivalent. 3. Always use a recommended foam insulation (non-absorbent type) or equivalent.
I. 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 closed end connectors from the fan motor leads. 4) Remove the fan motor bracket and fan motor.
J. Removal and Replacement of Water Valve 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 3) Remove the top panel and 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.
M. Removal and Replacement of Spray Tubes 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel and the insulation panel. 3) Remove the rubber hoses from the spray tubes (water supply pipe). 4) Release the clamps and disconnect the rubber hoses. 5) Remove the spray tubes by squeezing the side tabs.
VI. Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. A. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage 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 43
[2] Drain the potable water tank: 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Move the control switch to the “OFF” position. 3) Drain the water tank by removing the insulation panel and the cap located on the front bottom part of the ice dropping hole.
1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 27 fl. oz. (800 ml) of the recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME- A-WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 5 gal. (19 l) of water. 2) Remove all ice from the evaporator and the storage bin.
Page 45
10) Turn on the power supply, and start the washing process. 11) Turn off the power supply after 30 minutes. 12) Remove the front panel and the insulation panel. 13) Drain the water tank. (See step 5 above). 14) Replace the cap and the insulation panel in their correct positions. 15) Move the control switch to the “ICE”...
2. Sanitizing Procedure - Following Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with water. (Add 2.5 fl. oz. (74 ml) of sanitizer to 5 gal. (19 l) of water). 2) Remove the insulation panel, if it is in its normal position. 3) Pour the sanitizing solution into the water tank.
C. Maintenance 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. 2) Storage Bin and Scoop •...
