IMPORTANT
1. This booklet is an integral and essential
part of the product and should be kept
and preserved by the user. Please read
carefully the guidelines and warnings
contained herein as they are intended
to provide the user with essential
information for the continued safe use and
maintenance of the product. In addition,
it provides GUIDANCE ONLY to the user
on the correct services and site location of
the icemaker. Please preserve this booklet
for any further consultation that may be
necessary.
2. This is a commercial icemaker, and should
be destined only to be used for the purpose
for which it has been expressly designed.
Any other use should be considered
improper and therefore dangerous. The
manufacturer will not be held liable or
responsible for any damage caused by
improper, incorrect and unreasonable use.
I. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
1. The installation must be carried out
by qualified personnel, in accordance
with current regulations, according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear
of obstruction.
1. LOCATION
IMPORTANT
1. This icemaker is not intended for outdoor
use. Normal operating ambient temperature
should be within 5°C to 40°C. Normal
operating water temperature should be
within 5°C to 35°C. Operation of the
icemaker, for extended periods, outside
of these normal temperature ranges may
affect production capacity.
2. The icemaker should not be located next to
ovens, grills or other high heat producing
equipment.
3.Thelocationshouldprovidearmandlevel
foundation for the equipment.
4. Allow 15 cm clearance at rear and sides
for proper air circulation and ease of
maintenance and/or service should they be
required. Allow 60 cm clearance on top to
allow for removal of the auger.
5. This appliance is not suitable for installation
in an area where a water jet could be used
and where dripping is not allowed.
6. Do not place anything on top of the
icemaker or in front of the louver.
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This icemaker requires an earth that meets
the national and local electrical code
requirements. To prevent possible severe
electrical shock to individuals or extensive
damage to equipment, install a proper earth
wire to the icemaker. Disconnect the main
power supply before any maintenance, repairs
or cleaning is undertaken.
* This appliance requires a separate 220 -
240VAC, 12A supply. The electrical supply must
be protected by a suitable circuit breaker.
* Usually an electrical permit and services of a
licensed electrician are required.
* If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.
For the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland only
* The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live
As the colours of the wire in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green-and-Yellow
must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E or by the symbol
or coloured Green or Green-and-Yellow. The

ENGLISH
2
wire which is coloured Blue must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter N
or coloured Black. The wire which is coloured
Brown must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
* Should the socket outlets in the installation site
not be suitable for the plug supplied with your
product, the plug must be removed (cut off if it is
mouldedonplug)andanappropriateplugtted.
If the non-rewirable plug has been cut from the
power supply cord, it must be disposed of. There
should be no attempt to reuse it. Inserting such a
plug into a socket elsewhere presents a serious
risk of electrical shock.
* The non-rewirable plug must never be used
withoutafusecoverbeingtted.
The correct replacement for the detachable fuse
cover is identifiable from the manufacturer’s
reference number stamped on the plug.
Supply of replacement fuse covers can be
obtained from Hoshizaki Parts/Service Centres.
Fuses should be rated at 12A and approved to
BS 1362.
3. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
Note: A plumbing permit and services of a licensed
plumber may be required in some areas.
* The connections to the mains water supply
must be made in accordance with the countries’
current requirements of the Water Supply or
Water Fittings Regulations.
* Water supply pressure should be minimum 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) and maximum 0.78 MPa (8 bar).
If the pressure exceeds 0.78 MPa (8 bar), use a
proper pressure reducing valve. Do NOT throttle
back the supply tap.
* The icemaker drain is gravity flow, so ensure
drain pipe has an adequate pitch or fall.
* Water should drain into an open trap.
* Drain lines should not be piped directly to the
sewer system. A vertical air gap of a minimum
of 5 cm should be between the end of the drain
pipes from the icemaker and the storage bin and
theoordrain.
* Water supply connection is intended to be made
by means of a pipe, not a hose set.
II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
1. This icemaker is designed to produce and
store 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.
* 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.
2. The use of any electrical equipment
involves the observance of some
fundamental rules. In particular:
* Instances of high humidity and moisture
increase the risk of electrical short
circuits and potential electrical shocks. If
in doubt, disconnect the icemaker.
* Do not damage the power cord or pull it
in order to disconnect the icemaker from
the feed network.
* Do not touch the electrical parts or
operate the operation switch with damp
hands.
* This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
* Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
* Do not attempt to modify the icemaker.
Only qualified personnel may
disassemble or repair the appliance.

2. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
To achieve optimum icemaker performance,
the following parts need periodic inspection
and maintenance:
Extruding head (upper bearing)
Housing (lower bearing)
Mechanical seal
These parts should be inspected after two
years from installation or 10,000 hours of
operation, whichever comes first, and once
a year thereafter. Replacement of these
parts is required if wear exceeds factory
recommendations.
Their service life, however, depends on
wa te r quality and env ir on me nt . More
frequent inspection and maintenance are
recommended in bad or severe water
conditions.
Consult with your local Hoshizaki service
agent about inspection and maintenance
service.
