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 Thermistor senses 9°C 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.

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 ener- gized with the control switch OFF or the unit will not start. The dip switches should be adjusted per the adjustment chart published in the Tech Specs book.

1) Defrost Control A thermistor (Semiconductor) is used for a defrost control sensor. The resistance var- ies depending on the Suction Line temperatures. The Thermistor detects the tempera- ture 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.

V. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. IMPORTANT 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.
3. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPRESSOR IMPORTANT Always install a new Drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the Drier until after all other repairs or replacements have 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.
15) Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. For air-cooled and water-cooled models see the Nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled models, see the Charge Label in the machine compartment. 16) Connect the Terminals, and replace the Terminal Cover in its correct position. 17) Replace the panels in their correct positions.
5. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF EXPANSION VALVE IMPORTANT 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 repairs or replacements have been made.
6. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF HOT GAS VALVE AND/OR LINE VALVE IMPORTANT Always use a copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing the hot gas lines; otherwise the performance may be reduced. IMPORTANT Always install a new Drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
13) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 14) If the unit is equipped with a plug, plug it in. Turn on the power supply. 7. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF EVAPORATOR IMPORTANT Always install a new Drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
8. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF WATER REGULATING VALVE IMPORTANT Always install a new Drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the Drier until after all other repairs or replace- ments have been made. 1) Turn off the power supply. If the unit is equipped with a plug, unplug it. 2) Close the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve.
9. ADJUSTMENT OF WATER REGULATING VALVE The Water Regulating Valve (also called “WATER REGULATOR”) is factory-adjusted. No adjustment is required under normal use. 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 thermom- eter to check for the condenser drain temperature.
10. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF THERMISTOR CAUTION 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.
Page 39
10) Secure the insulation using the Plastic Cable Ties. 11) Connect the Thermistor leads through the bushing of the Control Box to the K3 Connector on the Controller Board. Note: Do not cut the leads of the Thermistor while installing it. 12) Replace the Control Box Cover and the panels in their correct positions.
11. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF WATER VALVE 1) Turn off the power supply. If the unit is equipped with a plug, unplug it. 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.
12. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF PUMP MOTOR Note: When replacing a Pump Motor with defective winding, it is recommended that a new capacitor be installed. 1) Turn off the power supply. If the unit is equipped with a plug, unplug it. 2) Remove the Front Panel.
13. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF FLOAT SWITCH 1) Go through the steps 1) through 6) in “14. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF PUMP MOTOR.” 2) Remove the connectors of the Float Switch. 3) Remove the screw and the Float Switch Bracket. 4) Remove the two screws and the Float Switch.
14. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF SPRAY TUBES 1) Turn off the power supply. If the unit is equipped with a plug, unplug it. 2) Remove the Front Panel and the Insulation Panel. 3) Remove the Rubber Hose from the Spray Tubes (Water Supply Pipe). 4) Release the Clamp, and disconnect the Rubber Hose.
VI. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. 1. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE WARNING 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 45
[2] Remove the water from the potable water supply line: 1) Remove the Front Panel. (Except water-cooled models) 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.
[a] CLEANING PROCEDURE 1) Dilute 27 fl. oz. of the 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.
Page 47
9) Replace the Insulation Panel and the Front Panel in their correct positions. 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.
[b] SANITIZING PROCEDURE - Following Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute a 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with water (Add 2.5 fl. oz. of sanitizer to 5 gal. of water). 2) Remove the Insulation Panel, if it is in its normal position. 3) Pour the sanitizing solution into the Water Tank.
3. MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT 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 •...
