Need help?Do you have a question about the Hoshizaki FM-AKE Series and is the answer not in the manual?
This document outlines the procedure for replacing bags in the Hoshizaki FM-AKE Series ice machines, focusing on wiring protection methods and the number of bags required for various models. The FM-AKE Series appears to be a range of commercial ice makers, likely producing flake or nugget ice, given the "bags" mentioned in the context of wiring protection, which typically refers to protective sleeves or covers for electrical connections.
The primary function of the FM-AKE Series is to produce ice. While the specific type of ice (e.g., flake, cube, nugget) is not explicitly stated, the context of "bags replacement" for wiring protection suggests a design where electrical components are susceptible to moisture or environmental factors, necessitating protective measures. The document focuses on the maintenance aspect of these protective bags, which are crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the ice maker by shielding electrical connections.
The document does not directly list technical specifications such as ice production capacity, power consumption, or dimensions. However, it provides a comprehensive table detailing various models within the FM-AKE Series and their bag requirements. This table implicitly indicates the range of models covered by this maintenance procedure.
Model Codes and Bag Requirements:
The table categorizes models by Model code and Model Name, specifying the number of bags required for Picture_A (Top View) and Picture_B (Around CM) locations, along with a sum of bags.

Picture_B (Around CM) location, with N/A for Picture_A (Top View), totaling 1 bag. This suggests a simpler wiring configuration or fewer exposed connections requiring protection in the top view area for these specific models.Picture_A (Top View) location and 1 bag in the Picture_B (Around CM) location, totaling 4 bags. This indicates a more complex internal wiring layout or a greater need for protection in multiple areas.Picture_A (Top View) location, with N/A for Picture_B (Around CM), totaling 2 bags. Similar to the 750AKE series, this suggests a focus on top-view wiring protection.Picture_A (Top View) location and 1 bag in the Picture_B (Around CM) location, totaling 4 bags.Picture_A (Top View) location and 1 bag in the Picture_B (Around CM) location, totaling 4 bags.Picture_A (Top View) location, with N/A for Picture_B (Around CM), totaling 2 bags.Picture_A (Top View) location and 1 bag in the Picture_B (Around CM) location, totaling 3 bags. The "CO2" in the model name suggests these are CO2-refrigerant based units, indicating a commitment to environmentally friendly refrigerants.Picture_A (Top View) location and 1 bag in the Picture_B (Around CM) location, totaling 4 bags. These are also CO2-refrigerant based units, likely with higher production capacities given the "1200" in the model name.The part number for the plastic bag is 4X1559-07, and the cable tie is 150mm.
The document primarily focuses on maintenance rather than daily operational usage. However, the existence of these protective bags implies that the FM-AKE Series ice makers are designed for environments where electrical connections need robust protection from moisture, dust, or other contaminants, which is typical for commercial kitchen or food service settings. The use of CO2 as a refrigerant in some models highlights a feature geared towards environmental responsibility and potentially energy efficiency.
The document is a detailed guide for a specific maintenance task: replacing protective bags for wiring.
Key Maintenance Steps:
Picture_A (top view) and Picture_B (on the base next to the compressor).Wiring Protection Methods (Reference):
The document provides three methods for protecting wiring, to be used if new bags are unavailable or as alternative methods. The preferred method is using new bags.
a. In the case of using "new bag":
b. In the case of using "tapes" (alternative):
c. In the case of using "tubes" (alternative):
The maintenance instructions are clear, step-by-step, and emphasize safety and proper technique, ensuring that the ice maker's electrical system remains protected and functional after servicing. The provision of alternative wiring protection methods demonstrates flexibility in maintenance, especially if specific parts are not immediately available. The detailed table of models and bag counts is a valuable resource for technicians to ensure correct and complete maintenance for each specific unit.
