II. General Information 1. Construction The Hoshizaki Cubelet Ice Dispenser, model DCM-270BAH-OS includes water supply, freezer, condensing, storage, dispensing and control assemblies. Note: *Adjustable Legs Minimum height - 4" Maximum height - 5.3" Do not adjust exceeding the above recommendation.
2.Operation - How it works Water flows from the potable water source through the water supply line shut-off valve, enters at the water inlet fitting and into the water reservoir. The water reservoir functions to maintain a constant water level inside the freezer assembly. Water from the water reservoir enters at the bottom of the freezer.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. 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 sys- tem 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. 700-88 be used.
3. Removal and Replacement of Compressor Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has 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.
12) Braze the process, suction and discharge lines (do not change this order), while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at the pressure 3-4 PSIG. 13) Install the new filter drier. 14) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG) and soap bubbles. 15) Connect the terminals, and replace the terminal cover in its correct position.
5. Removal and Replacement of Thermostatic Expansion Valve 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 repair or replacement has been made.
14) Place the new expansion valve cover in position. 15) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 16) Plug in the dispenser and turn on the power supply. 6. Removal and Replacement of Pressure Switch Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
7. Removal and Replacement of Control Water Valve 1) Unplug the icemaker. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 4) Disconnect the terminal from the control water valve. 5) Loosen the fitting nut on the control water valve inlets, and remove the control water valve.
8. Removal and Replacement of Flush Water Valve 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 4) Remove the clamp and disconnect the hose from the flush water valve that attaches to the evaporator.
9. Removal and Replacement of Float Switch 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. If the float switch works poorly because of scale or other foreign matter, install a filter or softener in the water supply line. 1) Unplug the dispenser and turn off the power supply. 2) Close the water supply line shut-off valve.
10. Removal and Replacement of Bin Control Switch Assembly 1) Turn off the power supply and unplug the dispenser. 2) Remove the top panel. 3) Remove the bin control switch from the storage bin cover. (Twist, then pull up.) 4) Cut the wire leads and remove switch. 5) Assemble the replacement switch, reversing the procedure used to remove the old switch.
11. Removal and Replacement of Storage Bin Assembly 1) Move the ice making switch to the “FLUSH” position. 2) Press the push button to dispense ice and remove all ice from the storage bin. 3) Turn off the power supply and unplug the dispenser. 4) Remove the panels.
12. Removal and Replacement of Agitator and Drip Ring 1) Move the ice making switch to the “OFF” position. 2) Press the push button to dispense ice and remove all ice from the storage bin. 3) Turn off the power supply, and unplug the dispenser. 4) Remove the top panel.
13. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator Assembly 1) Move the ice making switch to the “OFF” position. 2) Press the push button to dispense ice and remove all ice from the storage bin. 3) Turn off the power supply, and unplug the dispenser. 4) Flush all water out of the system.

28) Assemble the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed Be careful not to scratch the surface of the O-ring, or it may cause water leaks. Handle the mechanical seal with care not to scratch nor to contaminate its contact surface.
VI. Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. 1. Preparing the Ice Dispenser for Long Storage When shutting off the ice dispenser for an extended time, drain out all water from the water line and remove the ice from the storage bin.
[a] Cleaning Procedure 1) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Dilute approximately 6 fl. oz. of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-WAY” (manufactured by Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 1 gal. of water. 3) Move the ice making switch, located on the control box, to the “FLUSH” position.
Page 44
12) Replace the drip ring and agitator. 13) Move the ice making switch and then the power switch to the “ON” position. Place the storage bin cover in position, and start the automatic icemaking process. Run the ice dispenser until it stops automatically. 14) Move the ice making switch to the “FLUSH”...
[b] Sanitizing Procedure 1) Dilute approximately 1.5 fl. oz. of a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 3 gal. of water. 2) Pour the sanitizing solution carefully into the reservoir through the opening in the center of the storage bin up to an overflow level. 3) Wait for 10 minutes to start the icemaking process.
2. Maintenance Instructions This ice dispenser must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction manual and labels provided with the ice dispenser. 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.
