VI. Cleaning and Maintenance

 WARNING

CHOKING HAZARD:

 Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are 

securely in place after any cleaning or maintenance is done to the unit. Make 
sure that none have fallen into the dispenser unit/storage bin. 

A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions

Hoshizaki recommends cleaning and sanitizing this unit at least once a year. More 
frequent cleaning and sanitizing, however, may be required in some existing water 
conditions.

 WARNING

1. To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use 

ammonia type cleaners.

2. Carefully follow any instructions provided with the bottles of cleaning and 

sanitizing solution.

3. Always wear liquid-proof gloves and goggles to prevent the cleaning and 

sanitizing solutions from coming into contact with skin or eyes.

4. To prevent damage to the water pump, do not leave the control switch in 

the "SERVICE" position for extended periods of time when the water tank is 
empty. 

1. Cleaning Procedure

1) Dilute 9.5 fl. oz. (281 ml) of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" with 1.8 gal. (6.8 l) of warm water.
2) Remove all ice from the evaporator and the dispenser unit/storage bin.

Note: To remove cubes on the evaporator, turn off the power supply and turn it on 

after 3 minutes. The harvest cycle starts and the cubes will be removed from the 
evaporator.

3) Turn off the power supply.
4) Remove the front panel, then move the service switch to the "DRAIN" position. Move 

the control switch to the "SERVICE" position.

5) Replace the front panel in its correct position, then turn on the power supply for 

2 minutes.

6) Turn off the power supply.
7) Remove the front panel, then remove insulation panel (A) (the large insulation panel in 

front of the evaporator) by lifting up the panel slightly and pulling it towards you.
