B. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions
The appliance must be cleaned and sanitized at least twice a year. More frequent
cleaning and sanitizing may be required in some conditions.
WARNING
• To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the appliance, do not use ammonia
type cleaners.
• Carefully follow any instructions provided with the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions.
• Always wear liquid-proof gloves and goggles to prevent the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions from coming into contact with skin or eyes.
• Do not use ice made from the cleaning and sanitizing solutions. After cleaning and
sanitizing, be careful not to leave any solution in the appliance.
• Do not place fingers or any other objects into the ice discharge opening (extruding
head).
• After cleaning and sanitizing, do not use ice made from the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. Be careful not to leave any solution on the parts or in the ice storage
bin.
1. Water System
a) Cleaning Solution
Dilute 9.6 fl. oz. (0.29 l) of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" with 1.6 gal. (6.0 l) of warm water.
This is a minimum amount. Make more solution if necessary.
IMPORTANT!
For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately
after dilution.
b) Cleaning Procedure
1) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. See Fig. 3.
2) Dispense all of the ice from the ice storage bin.
3) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then remove the louver and air filter.
See Fig. 6. Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position, then move the power
switch to the "ON" position. Allow the water system to drain completely (you will see the
water draining into the drain pan). Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
Note: a) When the appliance has power, a momentary pause in the "OFF" position is
necessary to de-energize the control board when moving the control switch
between "ICE" and "DRAIN." Otherwise there is a delay of several minutes
before the new selection takes effect.
b) If the control switch is left in the "DRAIN" position for 10 minutes or more, a
2-beep alarm sounds every 5 seconds. Move the control switch out of the
"DRAIN" position to clear the alarm.
4) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the appliance from the
electrical outlet. Remove the front panel. On the push-button model, disconnect the
connector. Next, remove the top panel.
5) Remove the bin top, then remove the agitator and drip ring.
