II. Installation And Operating Instructions A. Checks Before Installation 1. Remove shipping carton, tape(s) and packing. If packing material is left in the icemaker, it will not work properly. 2. Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place. 1) Remove the top and front panels to prevent damage when installing the icemaker.
C. Location 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 production capacity.
E. Water Supply and Drain Connections See Fig. 2 To prevent damage to equipment, do not operate this icemaker when the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG (0.7 bar). Do not run the icemaker until the proper water pressure is reached. •...

F. Final Checklist 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"...
G. 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. 1) Open the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Remove the front panel.
4. For safety and maximum effectiveness, use cleaning and sanitizing solutions immediately after dilution. 1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 5 fl. oz. (148 ml) of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME-A- WAY," (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 1 gallon (3.8 l) of warm water. 2) Remove the front panel.

It is snapped in place. Remove the drain tube and the frame/pipe from the drain pan. See Fig. 7. 24) Dilute 5 fl. oz. (148 ml) of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME-A-WAY," (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 1 gallon (3.8 l) of warm water.
2. Sanitizing Procedure - Following Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute approximately 0.5 fl. oz. (15 ml or 1 tbs) of a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 1 gallon (3.8 l) of warm water. Using a chlorine test strip or other method, confirm that you have a concentration of about 200 ppm.
3. Air Filter (air-cooled model only) The plastic mesh air filter removes dirt and dust from the air, and keeps the condenser from getting clogged. As the filter gets clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced. Check the filter at least twice a month. When it is clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter.
