  • Page 12: Location

    C. Location CAUTION 1. 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 icemaker performance.

  • Page 13: Electrical Connection

    E. Electrical Connection WARNING For All Models 1. Electrical connection must be hard-wired and must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or severe damage to equipment.

    1/4" OD liquid line for this icemaker, increase the line sizes to 1/2" OD discharge line and 3/8" OD liquid line for the entire run. Add 16.5 oz. of R-404A to the system to compensate for the larger diameter line sizes, then add .4 oz. of R-404A for each foot over 66 feet to a maximum of 100 feet. Hoshizaki Technical Support is available at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. • The maximum vertical distance between the remote condenser unit and the icemaker is 33 feet above or 10 feet below the icemaker. These distances are measured fitting to fitting.

OS-QUICK, a universal quick connect coupling kit available as optional equipment from Hoshizaki America, is recommended. 4) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG).
  • Page 17 c. Make sure the male fitting and female coupling are properly aligned, then start the connection by hand to ensure that it is not cross threaded. d. Tighten the connection with a wrench until it is tight. At this point, the nut has covered most of the threads on the male fitting.

    10 PSIG. Do not run the icemaker until the proper water pressure is reached. • A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas. • External filters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality. Contact your local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations. • Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG. If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required. • The icemaker and condensation drain line(s), storage bin drain line, and water-cooled condenser drain line (if applicable) must be run separately.
