MAX. CIRC BREAKER (CANADA ONLY) MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY DESIGN PRESSURE REFRIGERANT TOTAL REFRIGERANT CHARGE IF USED WITH HOSHIZAKI CONDENSER URC-21F MOTOR-COMPRESSOR THERMALLY PROTECTED, See the nameplate for electrical and refrigeration specifications. This nameplate is located on the upper right hand side of rear panel.
6) See the nameplate on the rear panel, and check that your voltage supplied corresponds with the voltage specified on the nameplate. 7) This icemaker needs a storage bin. The recommended storage bin is HOSHIZAKI ICE STORAGE BIN, Model B-500 series.
C. Location This icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient temperature should be within +45°F to +100°F; Normal operating water temperature should be within +45°F to +90°F. Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.

Before operating the icemaker, the bin control thermostat bulb must be set correctly. 5) Set the bin control thermostat bulb as follows. See Fig. 3. (a) Take off 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) Slide the thermostat bulb holder down through the hole located in the bottom of the icemaker until it is placed in the bracket.
E. Electrical Connection 1. Electrical connection must be made in accordance with the instructions on a “WARNING” tag, provided with the pig tail leads in the junction box. 2. This icemaker requires a ground that meets the national and local electrical code requirements.
F. Installation of Remote Condenser Unit 1. Checks Before Installation 1) Unpack and remove shipping carton, tape(s) and packing. 2) Check that the refrigerant lines do not rub or touch lines or other surfaces, and that the fan blade turns freely. 2.
The two copper tubings should be insulated separately. See Fig. 8. • A connector kit “OS-QUICK” is available for field-fabricated lines from HOSHIZAKI AMERICA. • R-404A precharged tubing kits, available as optional equipment, are recommended.
3) Connect the fan motor leads in the junction box of the remote condenser unit to the fan motor leads in the junction box of the HOSHIZAKI remote air-cooled icemaker. 4) Install a ground wire from the icemaker to the remote condenser unit.
5. Stacking Condenser Unit 1) Secure the lower condenser unit to the legs with eight bolts (not included). 2) Attach the upper condenser unit on the top of the lower. 3) Secure the upper condenser unit with the four screws provided. 4) Install refrigerant lines, and make electrical connection for each fan motor as shown in items 3.
G. Water Supply and Drain Connections See Fig. 11 To prevent damage to the pump assembly, do not operate the icemaker when the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG. Do not run the icemaker until the proper water pressure is reached. •...
H. Final Check List 1) Is the icemaker level? 2) Is the icemaker in a site where the ambient temperature is within +45°F to +100°F all year around? 3) Is there at least a 6" clearance around the icemaker for maintenance or service? 4) Have all shipping tape(s), packing and cartons been removed from the icemaker? Are the cube guides in their correct position? 5) Are all components, fasteners and thumbscrews securely in place?
I. Startup 1. All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may result in failure. 2. If the unit is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor. 3. Do not operate the unit in the “WASH” position without water in the water tank.
J. 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. The storage bin should be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker to prevent damage to the water supply line at sub-freezing temperatures, using air or carbon dioxide.

5) Replace the overflow pipe, the rubber cap and the insulation panel in their correct positions. 6) Remove all ice from the storage bin, and clean the storage bin. 7) Replace the front panel in its correct position.
Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. A. Cleaning Instructions 1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least once a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.
1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute approximately 27 fl. oz. of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.), with 5 gal. of 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.
16) Close the cleaning valve. Note: The icemaker will not operate unless the cleaning valve is completely closed. 17) Replace the front panel in its correct position. 18) Turn on the power supply to fill the water tank with water. 19) Turn off the power supply after 3 minutes.

3) Replace the insulation panel and the front panel in their correct positions. Note: Make sure that the control switch is in the “WASH” position and the cleaning valve is open. 4) Turn on the power supply, and start the sanitizing process. 5) Turn off the power supply after 15 minutes.
B. Maintenance Instructions 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 •...
