Cleaning Prep:
Close the water supply line shut-off valve,
move the dispense mode switch to
CONTINUOUS
and dispense all the ice
from the storage bin.
Move the control switch to DRAIN. Allow the icemaker to
drain for 5 minutes. Move the control switch to OFF.
If the unit is running, there will be a 2.5 minute delay before the drain valve will open.
Remove the Front Panel* and Top Panel. Move the
power switch to OFF.
*Push-button models: Take care in disconnecting the button connector.
Cleaning:
Dilute Hoshizaki Scale Away with warm water (see Table below). Remove the
Storage Bin Cover**, Spout B, then Spout A. Pour
cleaning solution into the Extruding Head until the
Evaporator Assembly and the Reservoir are full
and the solution overflows into the Drain Pan. Replace Spout A &
B, and the Storage Bin Cover.
Allow the icemaker to soak for 10 minutes.
**Use a 15mm socket to easily remove thumb screws.
In bad water conditions, a more thorough cleaning may be
required. Remove the Float Switch from the Reservoir cover.
Clean the Float Switch with the solution, rinse thoroughly with
clean water, and replace it back in the cover. In addition to
following Step ❹, place a clamp on the Reservoir hose that will
block the flow to the evaporator assembly. Pour additional
cleaning solution over the Extruding Head until the Evaporator
Assembly is full. Allow to soak, remove the clamp before
operation. Otherwise, continue to Step ❻.
