6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Electrical connection must be made in accordance with the appropriate local codes and regulations. The icemaker is to be
connected to a residual-current device protected, earthed wall socket via the supplied exible supply cord.
Disconnect the main power supply before any maintenance, repairs or cleaning is undertaken.
* It is recommended that these appliance are connected to a separate 240VAC supply, protected by an appropriate circuit
breaker and Residual Current Device. Check the nameplate on the icemaker for the supply requirements.
* The main control box fuse is rated 3A and should only be replaced by a qualied service engineer.
* The service of a licensed electrician may be required to ensure the installation is in accordance with the local codes and
regulations.
* [FM-1000, 600]
The xed wiring must incorporate a means for disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all
poles.
* The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live
7. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Connect to potable cold water supply only.
* The service of a licensed plumber may be required to ensure the installation is in accordance with the local codes and
regulations.
[Connection to the water supply]
* The connections to the mains water supply must be made in accordance with the Plumbing Code of Australia and in
accordance with AS / NZS 3500.1 and AS / NZS 3500.2. This appliance incorporates backow protection complying with AS /
NZS 3500.1. No further backow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
* Icemaking water must be potable water. Where scaling can be caused by water quality, installation of an external lter or
softener is recommended. Contact your local water treatment professional or Hoshizaki service agent.
* Water supply pressure should be minimum 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) and maximum 0.8 MPa (8 bar). If the pressure exceeds 0.8 MPa (8
bar), use a proper pressure reducing valve. Do NOT throttle back the supply tap.
* Attach the angle end of the inlet hose to the G3/4” water inlet tting on the rear of the icemaker.
* Be sure to use the new inlet hose-sets supplied with the appliance. Do not reuse any other inlet hose-set.
* Ensure rubber tap washers are correctly positioned. Hand tighten the inlet hose sufciently to provide a leak free joint.

ENGLISH
[Connection to the drain]
* Hand tighten grey exible outlet hose (accessory) onto the R3/4 tting on the rear of the icemaker as indicated, ensuring
rubber washer is correctly positioned to obtain a leak free joint. The hose can be cut to length as necessary to suit position of
main drain.
* Drain lines should not be installed directly to the sewer system. A vertical air gap of a minimum of 5
cm should be between the end of the drain hoses from the icemaker and storage bin and the oor
drain.
* To prevent a backow into the storage bin, the outlet hose must be laid as shown.
II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Do not step into the storage bin, or put your hands into the
machine compartment inside the storage bin. Children can get
trapped inside, or the icemaking mechanism may suddenly
move, resulting in injury.
NOTICE
All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may result in failure.
If the unit is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor.
HYGIENE
This icemaker is designed to produce edible ice. To keep the icemaker hygienic:
* Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (accessory).
* The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin nor use other electrical appliances in the bin.
* Clean the storage bin before use (see “III. 1. CLEANING”).
* Keep the scoop clean. Clean it by using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
* Close the door after removing ice to prevent entrance of dirt, dust or insects into the storage bin.

ENGLISH
NOTICE
Ask a trained service person to clean and sanitise the icemaker water system at least twice a year and to check and clean the
condenser at least once a year.
To prevent possible damage, do not clean the plastic parts with water above 40°C or in a dishwasher.
IMPORTANT
For spare parts information, contact your local Hoshizaki service agent.
[a] Machine and Bin Exterior
Wipe the exterior at least once per week with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off
grease or dirt.
[b] Scoop and Storage Bin Handle Cleaning/Sanitisation (Daily)
1) Either mix 1 litre of water with 4 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a suitable container, or the recommended
Hoshizaki sanitiser as directed.
2) Soak the scoop in the solution for more than 3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and shake to remove surplus liquid.
Note: Using a cloth to dry may re-contaminate.
3) Use a neutral cleaner to wash the storage bin handle. Rinse thoroughly.
4) Soak a clean cloth with the sanitising solution, and wipe the handle. Use fresh water and a clean cloth to rinse/dry.
[c] Storage Bin Interior Cleaning/Sanitisation (Weekly)
1) Open the storage bin door, and remove all ice.
Note: Hoshizaki recommends various types of storage bin for the icemaker which
vary in size and design. The following instructions are therefore for general
guidance only.
2) Remove the thumbscrews securing the bafe.
3) Remove the bafe from the bin.
4) Wash the bin liner, and bafe with a neutral non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly.
5) Either mix 5 litres of water with 18 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a
suitable container, or the recommended Hoshizaki sanitiser as directed.
6) Soak a clean sponge or cloth with the solution, and wipe the bin liner surfaces, and bafe.
7) Ret the bafe and thumbscrews. Wipe the surface of the bin door and thumbscrews with the solution. Close the bin door.
8) The remaining solution can be used to sanitise utensils.
Note: Do not wipe dry or rinse after sanitising, but allow to air dry.
[d] Storage Bin Door
Clean the storage bin door at least once a week, using a neutral non-abrasive
cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and sanitise as required.
[e] Air Filter
Plastic mesh air lters remove dirt or dust from the air, and keep the condenser
from getting clogged. If the lters get clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be
reduced. Remove and clean the air lter(s) at least twice per month:
1) Slide the air lter off the louver.
