(2) Defrost Timer The defrost cycle starts when the Float Switch opens and completes the freeze cycle. But the Defrost Timer does not start counting until the Ther- mistor senses 48°F at the Evaporator outlet. The period from the end of the freeze cycle up to the point of the Thermistor's sensing varies depending on the ambient and water temperatures.

[d] CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS (Alpine/Alpine “C” Board) The Dip Switch is factory-adjusted to the following positions: DIP SWITCH NO. KML-200MAE, KML-200MWE 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 16
1) 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 neces- sary, check for resistance between Thermistor leads, and visually check the Thermistor mounting, located on the Suction Line next to the Evaporator outlet.
Page 17
3) Drain Timer The Drain Timer is factory-adjusted, and no adjustment is required. SETTING Dip Switch No. 3 T1: Time to drain the Water Tank T2: Time to restrain defrost completion 4) Drain Counter Do not adjust the Drain Counter, or the Evaporator may freeze up. Except for some B-type models, the Drain Counter is factory-adjusted to drain the Water Tank every 10 cycles, and no adjustment is required.
5) Bin Control When the ambient temperature is below 45°F, the Bin Control Thermostat operates to stop the icemaker even if the Ice Storage Bin is empty. When the Thermostat is set in the prohibited range, the icemaker operates continuously even if the Ice Storage Bin is filled with ice. Setting in the prohibited range might cause severe damage to the icemaker resulting in failure.

The unit should start the freeze cycle after 1 minute ± 5 seconds from the resistor connection. 3) Check the Controller Board by using test program of the Controller Board. (i) Disconnect the Connector K1 from the Controller Board. Set the Dip Switch No. 7 and 8 on the Controller Board to the “ON”...
3. SWITCHES Two control switches are used to control operation in the KML Series Modular Crescent Cubers. These switches are referred to as the “Control Switch” and the “Service Switch.” [a] CONTROL SWITCH The Control Switch is located on the lower left section of the control box when facing the front of the machine.

5) Disconnect the Vacuum Pump, and attach a Refrigerant Service Cylinder to the Low- 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.
2. BRAZING 1. Refrigerant R22 itself is not flammable, explosive or poisonous. How- ever, when exposed to an open flame, R22 creates Phosgene gas, hazardous in large amounts. 2. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Page 35
7) Slide and remove the Compressor. Unpack the new Compressor package. Install the new Compressor. 8) Attach the Rubber Grommets of the prior Compressor. 9) Sandpaper the Suction, Discharge and Process Pipes. 10) Place the Compressor in position, and secure it using the Bolts and Washers. 11) Remove plugs from the Suction, Discharge and Process Pipes.
4. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF DRIER 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. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels.
4) Remove the insulation and the Expansion Valve Bulb on the suction line. 5) Remove the Expansion Valve Cover, and disconnect the Expansion Valve using brazing equipment. 6) Braze the new Expansion Valve, with nitrogen gas flowing at the pressure of 3 - 4 PSIG.

Adjust the Water Regulator, if necessary, using the following procedures. 1) Attach a pressure gauge to the high-side line of the system. Or prepare a thermometer to check for the condenser drain temperature.
10. 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.

14. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF SPRAY TUBE 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the Front Panel and the Insulation Panel. 3) Release the Clamps, and disconnect the Rubber Hoses. 4) Remove the Spray Tubes by squeezing the side tabs. 5) Install the new Spray Tubes, and replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed.
VI. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 1. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water line and remove the ice from the Storage Bin. The Storage Bin should be cleaned and dried.
Page 47
[2] Remove the water from the potable water supply line: 1) Turn off the power supply and remove the Front Panel. 2) Move the Control Switch, on the Control Box, to the “OFF” position. 3) Wait 3 minutes. 4) Close the Potable Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve and open the Potable Water Supply Line Drain Valve.
This will prevent irritation in case the solution contacts with skin. 1) Dilute approximately 10.5 fl. oz. of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-WAY,” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 2 gal. of water. 2) Remove all ice from the Evaporator and the Storage Bin.
Page 49
11) Replace the Insulation Panel and the Front Panel in their correct positions. 12) Turn on the power supply and start the washing process. 13) Turn off the power supply after 30 minutes. 14) Remove the Front Panel. 15) Move the Service Switch to the “DRAIN” position. 16) Replace the Front Panel and turn on the power supply for 2 minutes.
1) Dilute IMS-II Sanitizer or a 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite solution with water (Add 1.0 fl. oz. to 2 gal. of water). Note: IMS-II Sanitizer, Part #SA0004, is available through your Hoshizaki Dealer. 2) Remove the Insulation Panel. 3) Pour the sanitizing solution into the Water Tank.
4. 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 •...
