C. Location 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.
E. Electrical Connection 1. Electrical connection 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. 2. This unit requires an independent power supply. See the nameplate for proper voltage and breaker/fuse size.
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 inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT). A minimum of 3/8" OD copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. • A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed.
G. Final Checklist CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin. 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" (15 cm) clearance at rear and left side, 10" (25 cm) at right side, and 20" (51 cm) at top for proper air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service...
H. Startup 1. All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage. 2. If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor. 3.
