B. Dimensions/Connections 1. KM-1400SWH/3-M (water-cooled marine) Note: When used with a storage bin not recommended by Hoshizaki, the icemaker needs the space at the bottom opening as in the illustration.
• Check that the refrigerant lines do not rub or touch lines or other surfaces. • Check that the compressor is snug on all mounting pads. • See the nameplate on the rear panel, and check that your voltage supplied corresponds with the voltage specified on the nameplate. • This icemaker can be installed on a storage bin 48" wide or wider. For options, contact your local Hoshizaki distributor. B. How to Remove Panels See Fig. 1 • Front Panel: Remove the 2 screws. Lift up and towards you. • Top Panel: Remove the 2 screws, and then lift off.
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.

5) Install the bin control thermostat as follows: a. Remove the baffle from the bin. b. Remove the tie securing the bin control thermostat assembly. Remove the 2 thumbscrews. c. Remove the bin control thermostat assembly from the shipping hook by lifting it up and shifting it to the right.
E. Installation of Second Unit 1) See "II.D. Setup" for the lower unit installation. 2) Remove the top panel and the top insulation of the lower unit. The top panel and the top insulation of the lower unit are not required when installing the second icemaker. 3) Unpack the second icemaker (upper unit), and remove the shipping carton, tape, and packing material.

7) Remove the tie securing the upper unit's bin control thermostat assembly. 8) Remove the bin control thermostat assembly from the shipping hook by lifting it up and shifting it to the right. 9) Remove the thermostat bulb attachment (plastic) of the upper unit from the thermostat extension bracket (stainless).
F. Electrical Connection 1. Electrical connection must be hard-wired and must meet international, 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.
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 must be run separately.

H. 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 sides, rear, and top of the icemaker for proper air circulation and ease of maintenance and service?
I. 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. Do not operate the icemaker in the "WASH" position without water in the water tank.
3. The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the storage bin. A. Cleaning & Sanitizing Instructions Hoshizaki recommends cleaning and sanitizing this unit at least once a year. More frequent cleaning and sanitizing, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.
1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 27 fl. oz. (800 ml) of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" with 5 gal. (19 l) of warm water. 2) Remove all ice from the evaporator and the storage bin. Note: To remove cubes on the evaporator, turn off the power supply and turn it back on after 3 minutes. The harvest cycle starts and the cubes will be removed from the evaporator.
22) Move the control switch to the "WASH" position. 23) Replace the front panel in its correct position. 24) Turn on the power supply to rinse off the cleaning solution. 25) Turn off the power supply after 5 minutes. 26) Remove the front panel and the insulation panel. 27) Remove the drain plug.
B. Maintenance This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction manual and labels provided with the icemaker. 1. Only qualified service technicians should attempt to service this icemaker. 2. Disconnect power before servicing. 1. Stainless Steel Exterior To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt buildup.
