WARNING
This unit 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 eventual damage
caused by improper, incorrect, and unreasonable use.
To reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re, follow
basic precautions including the following:
• This unit requires an independent power supply. See the nameplate for proper
voltage and breaker/fuse size. Failure to use a proper breaker or fuse can
result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or damage to existing wiring. This
could lead to heat generation or re.
• THIS UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED:This unit is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. It must be
plugged into a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. If the
outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a qualied
electrician replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall
outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord and do not use
an adapter plug.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in or
unplugging the unit to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use a unit with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not be
altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions
could result in electric shock or re. To unplug the unit, be sure to pull the
plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the plug or control switch
with damp hands.
• This unit should be disassembled or repaired only by qualied service

B. Sequence of Operation
1. Sequence Cycles and Shutdown
The steps in the sequence are as outlined below.This unit utilizes a control board to
switch the components on and off as needed. When power is supplied and the power
switch is in the "ON" position, CB red "POWER OK" LED comes on and CB revision
(r###) appears on DB.
Note: 1. "POWER OK" LED remains on until the power switch is moved to the "OFF"
position, the power supply is turned off, or the unit is unplugged from the
electrical outlet.
2. There is a minimum 2.5-minute Comp on time and 2.5-minute Comp off time.
a) Startup
No Component LED on: EvapFM energizes. 2.5-minute Comp delay timer starts.
Cabinet temperature appears on DB.
b) Cool Down
LEDs 4 and 5 on: 2.5-minute Comp delay timer terminates, EvapFM continues,
Comp, ConFM, and PH energize.
c) Cool Down Achieved
No Component LED on: CB monitors cooling of the cabinet via CTh. CTh cools to
LEDs 4 and 5 on: CTh warms to 3°F (1.7°C) above setpoint. EvapFM continues,
Comp, ConFM, and PH energize.
e) Defrost
LED 5 on:
(1a) Temperature-Initiated Defrost
DTh cools to 13°F (-10°C). Comp and PH, if energized, de-energize, EvapFM
continues. If energized, ConFM continues, otherwise, ConFM energizes. Cabinet
temperature is displayed on DB during defrost.
(1b) Optional Time-Initiated Defrost
The optional time-initiated defrost is factory set to 0 times per day. Before
changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for
recommendations.
When set to greater than 0, defrost initiates when the defrost timer terminates. For
further details, see "II.D.5.b) Defrost Frequency."
(2) Defrost Termination
DTh warms to 40°F (4.4°C). EvapFM and ConFM continue. 2.5 minute delay
before Comp and PH energize.

C. Display Board
When the power switch is moved to the "ON" position, the control board revision
appears on the display board. "r###" indicates the control board revision level (e.g.,
r23C). Afterward, the current cabinet temperature is displayed. The display board also
allows for access to the guarded access menu and service menu. From the guarded
access menu, the cabinet setpoint, defrost frequency, and temperature display scale can
be adjusted. For further details, see "II.D.5. Guarded Access Menu." From the service
menu, information regarding unit functions can be obtained. For further details, see
"II.D.6. Service Menu."
