II. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. CONSTRUCTION
The Hoshizaki Cubelet Ice Dispenser, model DCM-270BAH includes Water Supply,
Freezer, Condensing, Storage, Dispensing and Control Assemblies.
Note: *Adjustable Legs
Minimum height - 4"
Maximum height - 5.3"
Do not adjust exceeding the above recommendation.

2. OPERATION - How it works
Water flows from the potable water source through the Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve,
enters at the Water Inlet fitting and into the Water Reservoir. The Water Reservoir functions
to maintain a constant water level inside the Freezer Assembly. Water from the Water
Reservoir enters at the bottom of the Freezer. Heat is removed by the refrigeration process
and ice forms inside the Freezer.
A stainless steel Auger, located inside the Freezer, is direct-driven by the Gear Motor, and
the rotating Auger carries the ice upward to the end of the Auger, where excess water is
pressed out of the ice, as the ice is extruded and broken into cubelet ice (compressed ice)
and then pushed out into the Storage Bin.
Moving the Power Switch on the bottom left of the Middle Front Panel, to the “ON” position
starts the automatic and continuous icemaking process. When the Ice Storage Bin is filled
with ice, the Bin Control Switch will shut off the icemaking process. As the ice is removed
from the Storage Bin, the Bin Control Switch resets automatically and restarts the icemaking
process.
The Agitator in the Storage Bin keeps the ice from clustering so that the ice can move easily
through the Spout.
