II. INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. CHECKS BEFORE INSTALLATION * Visually inspect the exterior of the shipping container, and any severe damage noted should be reported to the carrier. 1. Remove shipping tape(s) and packing as follows. If any left in the icemaker, it will not work properly.
* The AM-100BAE icemaker requires no clearance at either side. But allow enough space at rear for water supply and drain connections, at least 12” (approx. 30 cm) clearance at front, and at least 0.6”...
3. SET UP Do not place heavy objects exceeding 33 lbs (15 kg) on the Top Panel. 1) Unpack the icemaker, and remove all shipping cartons, tapes and packing BEFORE operating the unit. 2) Position the icemaker in a selected site. Clean the interior with soap and water and rinse thoroughly.
5. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS To prevent damage to the freezer mechanism, do not operate this icemaker when the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG (0.7 bar), the recommended water pressure. Stop the icemaker until proper water pressure is resumed.

6. FINAL CHECK LIST 1) Is the icemaker level? 2) Is the icemaker in a site where the ambient temperature is within 50°F (10°C) to 100°F (38°C) and the water temperature within 41°F (5°C) to 90°F (32°C) all year around? 3) Have all shipping tape(s), string and packing been removed from the icemaker? 4) Are all components, fasteners and thumbscrews securely in place? 5) Have all electrical and piping connections been made?
8. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE (more than 1 day) Drain the icemaker to prevent damage to the water supply line at subfreezing temperatures, using air or carbon dioxide. Shut off the icemaker until proper air temperature is resumed. [1] On water-cooled model only, first remove the water from the water-cooled condenser: 1) Remove the Front Panel (Lower).

3) Blow out the water supply line. Note: This procedure is necessary to protect the icemaker from freezing up at subfreezing temperature. 4) Unplug the icemaker. 5) Remove all ice from the Storage Bin, and clean the Bin. 6) Drain and clean the Water Tank. See “III. 1. [b] STORAGE BIN, SLOPE, SCOOP, ETC.” 7) Refit the Front Panel (Lower) in its correct position.
[a] WATER SYSTEM 1) Dilute approximately 5 fl. oz. (148 ml) of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 1 gal. (3.8 lit.) of water. 2) Remove all ice from the Evaporator and the Storage Bin.

8) Remove the Water Tank to drain the cleaning solution. Refit the Water Tank in its correct position. 9) Open the Shut-off Valve. 10) Move the Control Switch to the “WASH” position to circulate clean water for about 5 minutes. 11) Move the Control Switch to the “OFF”...
[b] STORAGE BIN, SLOPE, SCOOP, ETC. 1. Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the Plastic Scoop provided to remove ice. 2. Keep the Scoop clean. Clean it by using a neutral cleaner at least once a day, and rinse thoroughly. 3.

8) Remove the Thumbscrews on both sides of the Water Tank, and pull it out toward you. Clean and sanitize the Water Tank. 9) Pull the Discharge Tube from the Water Plate. Remove the Water Plate by pulling it toward you. 10) Remove the Caps to clean and sanitize the Water Plate.
15) Hook each Separator on to the Mechanism Base, and pull it hard toward you until it locks in place with a click. Refit all the Separators in the same way. 16) Refit the Slope in its correct position. 17) Plug in the icemaker, and move the Control Switch on the Control Box to the “ICE” position to start the automatic icemaking process.
Bin Control Thermostat Replacement Procedure To ensure proper operation, follow the instructions below: [AM-100BAE] 1) Make a 40 mm (1.6”) diameter loop. 2) Locate the loop below the Thermostat Capillary (Bulb). 3) Manually bend the Capillary to keep it 15 mm (0.6”) forward from the through hole position on the Holder.
