* [IM-240NE]
In accordance with the requirement of the IEC standard, the maximum permissible system impedance (Zmax) at the interface
point of the power supply to be connected with this icemaker must be 0.23+j0.23 ohm. Determine in consultation with the
supply authority, if necessary, that the icemaker is connected only to a supply of 0.23+j0.23 ohm or less.
* The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow = Earth

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

recommended. Contact your local Hoshizaki
service agent.
* Water supply pressure should be minimum 0.07
MPa (0.7 bar) and maximum 0.78 MPa (8 bar).
If the pressure exceeds 0.78 MPa (8 bar), use a
