3) Soak the grille in the solution for more than 3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and shake to remove
surplus liquid.
Note: Using a cloth to dry may re-contaminate.
4) Use the accessory brush to clean the three drain holes in the drain pan.
5) Place the grille in its correct position and direction.
[d] Air Filter
CAUTION
To prevent injury, be careful not to touch the condenser fins when removing the air filter.
Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt or dust from the air, and keep the condenser from
getting clogged. If the filters get clogged, the ice dispenser’s performance will be
reduced. Remove and clean the air filter(s) at least twice per month:
1) Pull out the air filter from the bottom of the drain pan.
2) Clean the air filter by using a vacuum cleaner. When severely clogged, use warm
water and a neutral cleaner to wash the air filter.
3) Rinse and dry the air filter thoroughly.
NOTICE
After cleaning, be sure to place the air filter back in position with the handle facing down.
2. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
To achieve optimum ice dispenser performance, the following parts need periodic inspection and maintenance:
Extruding head (upper bearing)
Housing (lower bearing)
Mechanical seal
[a] Inspection
These parts should be inspected after two years from installation or 10,000 hours of operation, whichever comes first, and once
a year afterwards. Replacement of these parts is required if wear exceeds factory recommendations.
Their service life, however, depends on water quality and environment. More frequent inspection and maintenance are
recommended in bad or severe water conditions.
Consult with your local Hoshizaki service agent about inspection and maintenance service.
[b] Replacement
The extruding head (upper bearing) and mechanical seal must be replaced after four years from installation or 20,000 hours of
operation, whichever comes first, to prevent the risk of serious accidents or failures. Contact your local Hoshizaki service agent
for replacement.
When the total operating time reaches 20,000 hours, the service call lamp on the operation panel lights up and the display
on the control panel flashes “PC”. Then, after 500 hours, the unit shuts down to ensure safety and the service call lamp starts
flashing. Contact your local Hoshizaki service agent for replacement as soon as the service call lamp lights up.
Once the unit shuts down after 500 hours and the service call lamp starts flashing, the operation can be resumed by turning off
the operation switch and turning it back on. But the unit shuts down again after 500 hours. To resume the operation, contact
your local Hoshizaki service agent for the required replacement.
Replacement of the housing (lower bearing) may be required depending on water quality and wear condition.
