Important Safety Information

Throughout this manual, notices appear to bring your attention to situations which could
result in death, serious injury, damage to the appliance, or damage to property.

WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or

serious injury.

NOTICE Indicates a situation which could result in damage to the

appliance or property.

IMPORTANT Indicates important information about the installation, use, and

care of the appliance.

WARNING

The appliance should be destined only to the use for which it has been expressly
conceived. Any other use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting
from improper, incorrect, and unreasonable use. Failure to install, operate, and
maintain the appliance in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety,
performance, component life, and warranty coverage and may result in costly water
damage.

To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re, follow basic
precautions including the following:

• Only qualied service technicians should install and service the appliance.

• The appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and
local codes and regulations.

• Electrical connection must be hard-wired and must meet national, state, and local
electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result
in death, electric shock, serious injury, re, or damage.

• The icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specications. Failure to use an independent power supply
of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing
wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or re.

• THE ICEMAKER MUST BE GROUNDED. Failure to properly ground the icemaker
could result in death or serious injury.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch with damp
hands.

• Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply before
servicing. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power supply from being turned back on
inadvertently.

• Do not make any alterations to the appliance. Alterations could result in electric
shock, serious injury, re, or damage.

• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

5

WARNING, continued

• Children should be properly supervised around the appliance.

• Do not climb, stand, or hang on the appliance or allow children or animals to do so.
Serious injury could occur or the appliance could be damaged.

• Do not use combustible spray or place volatile or ammable substances near the
appliance. They might catch re.

• Keep the area around the appliance clean. Dirt, dust, or insects in the appliance
could cause harm to individuals or damage to the appliance.

Additional Warning for Remote Models

• THE REMOTE CONDENSER UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED. The power supply and
ground connection to the remote condenser unit are supplied from the icemaker.
Failure to properly ground the remote condenser unit could result in death or
serious injury.

• Wire routing (conduit) and disconnect (if required) must meet national, state, and
local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could
result in death, electric shock, serious injury, re, or damage.

NOTICE

• Follow the water supply, drain connection, and maintenance instructions carefully to
reduce the risk of costly water damage.

• In areas where water damage is a concern, install in a contained area with a oor
drain.

• Install the icemaker in a location that stays above freezing. Normal operating
ambient temperature must be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C).

• Do not leave the icemaker on during extended periods of non-use, extended
absences, or in sub-freezing temperatures. To properly prepare the icemaker for
these occasions, follow the instructions in "IV. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of
Non-Use."

• Do not place objects on top of the appliance.

• The dispenser unit/ice storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in
the dispenser unit/ice storage bin.

too long or too short, see "II.G.5.a)(1) Factory Line Set Modication."

NOTICE

• Ensure that there are no traps and no kinks in the line set. The service loop is not
considered an oil trap.

• Do not coil extra line set.

2) Connect the refrigerant lines to the appropriate male ttings on the remote condenser
unit rst and then at the icemaker. Make a proper connection as follows:

a. Remove the protective covers from the male tting and female coupling.
b. Apply Polyol Ester (POE) refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube to the entire male

tting, including O-ring, diaphragm, and threads before making the connection.
SeeFig. 15. NOTICE! Do not use thread sealant on the ttings. Use POE

refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube only. Couplings are one-time use only.

c. Make sure the male tting and female coupling are properly aligned, then start the

connection by hand to ensure that it is not cross threaded.

d. Place a backup wrench on the back of the female coupling, then tighten the

connection with a wrench until it is tight. At this point, the nut has covered most of
the threads on the male tting. NOTICE! Failure to use a backup wrench may

result in damage to the line set and possible refrigerant leaks.

e. Mark a reference line on the female coupling and the remote condenser unit or

icemaker panel. Using a backup wrench on the back of the female coupling, tighten
the six-sided nut of the female coupling an additional 1/6 turn. See Fig. 16.

NOTICE! Conrm connection is free of leaks.

3) If you lengthened the line set as outlined in "II.G.5.a)(1) Factory Line Set Modication"
and it exceeds 66' (20 m), see "II.G.4. Line Set Size and Refrigerant Charge" for proper
charging of the appliance.

30

(1) Factory Line Set Modication

1) Recover the line set charge through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick
connect couplings and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the
refrigerant into the atmosphere. Remove the extra line set length or add extra tubing.
When adding extra tubing, insulate the additional copper tubes separately.

2) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace
of refrigerant to the lines through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick
connect couplings (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure
using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). WARNING! Do not use R-404A as a mixture with

pressurized air for leak testing.

3) Evacuate through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick connect couplings and
charge with R-404A refrigerant vapor to a pressure of 15 to 30 PSIG. Go to step 2 in
"II.G.5.a) Factory Line Set Installation."

b) Field Fabricated Line Set Installation

1) Route the copper tube liquid line and copper tube discharge line (see "II.G.4 Line
Set Size and Refrigerant Charge" for details) from the remote condenser unit to the
icemaker. Leave a service loop behind the icemaker to allow the icemaker to be pulled
out for service. See Fig. 14.

NOTICE

• Ensure that there are no traps and no kinks in the line set. The service loop is not

considered an oil trap.

• Do not coil extra line set. Fabricate the line set to the proper length.

2) Insulate the two copper tubes separately.

3) Install Parker quick connect couplings on each end. OS-QUICK, a universal quick
connect coupling kit available as optional equipment from Hoshizaki America, is
recommended. NOTICE! Before brazing, remove the Schrader valve core from the

access port. When brazing, protect the coupling by using a wet cloth to prevent
the coupling from overheating. Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing
arsenic.

4) Allow the coupling to cool, then replace the Schrader valve core.

5) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace
of refrigerant to the lines through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick
connect couplings (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure
using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). WARNING! Do not use R-404A as a mixture with

pressurized air for leak testing.

6) Evacuate through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick connect couplings and
charge with R-404A refrigerant vapor to a pressure of 15 to 30 PSIG.

31

7) Connect the refrigerant lines to the appropriate male ttings on the remote condenser
unit rst and then at the icemaker. Make a proper connection as follows:

a. Remove the protective covers from the male tting and female coupling.
b. Apply Polyol Ester (POE) refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube to the entire male

tting, including O-ring, diaphragm, and threads, before making the connection.
SeeFig. 15. NOTICE! Do not use thread sealant on the ttings. Use POE

refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube only. Couplings are one-time use only.

c. Make sure the male tting and female coupling are properly aligned, then start the

connection by hand to ensure that it is not cross threaded.

d. Place a backup wrench on the back of the female coupling, then tighten the

connection with a wrench until it is tight. At this point, the nut has covered most of
the threads on the male tting. NOTICE! Failure to use a backup wrench may

result in damage to the line set and possible refrigerant leaks.

e. Mark a reference line on the female coupling and the remote condenser unit or

icemaker panel. Using a backup wrench on the back of the female coupling, tighten
the six-sided nut of the female coupling an additional 1/6 turn. See Fig. 16.

NOTICE! Conrm connection is free of leaks.

8) If the line set exceeds 66' (20 m), see "II.G.4. Line Set Size and Refrigerant Charge" for
proper charging of the appliance.
