IMPORTANT

Do not operate the icemaker when the water supply is OFF, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG. Do not run the icemaker until the proper water pressure is reached.

• Water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT).

Note: On water-cooled model, two water supply inlets are provided. One is for the ice making water inlet, and the other is for the cooling water inlet.

•A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed. A minimum of 3/8" OD copper tubing is recommended for the water supply lines.

Note: An optional strainer should be installed next to the water supply inlet in the water supply line. HOSHIZAKI recommended optional strainer Part Code 311166A01.

•Water supply pressure should be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG. If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required.

•Drain outlet for icemaker dump is 3/4" FPT. The icemaker drain must be made separately from the bin drain.

Note: On water-cooled model, a 3/8" FPT is provided for the condenser drain outlet.

•The drains must have 1/4" fall per foot on horizontal runs to get a good flow.

•The drains should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of 2 vertical inches should be between the end of the drain pipe from the icemaker or the ice bin and the floor drain.

•This icemaker should be installed in accordance with applicable national, state and local regulations.

•A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.

•In some areas, a back flow preventer may be required in the cooling water circuit.

KML-450MWH, KML-450MAH specifications

The Hoshizaki KML-450MWH and KML-450MAH are innovative and efficient commercial ice makers designed for a variety of food service applications. Both models are renowned for their reliability, compact design, and outstanding performance, making them ideal for restaurants, bars, cafes, and other establishments where ice production is essential.

One of the main features of the KML-450 series is its ability to produce crescent ice, which is known for its durability and slow melting properties. This kind of ice is favored by many establishments as it not only maintains the integrity of beverages but also reduces waste. The KML-450MWH model produces up to 400 pounds of ice per day, while the KML-450MAH provides slightly enhanced production capabilities, making them suitable for high-demand environments.

Both models are equipped with advanced technologies to ensure efficient ice production. The air-cooled design contributes to energy efficiency, reducing operational costs while maintaining optimum performance. The unit's innovative refrigeration system utilizes R-404A refrigerant, which enhances cooling efficiency and ensures reliable operation even in warmer conditions.

A notable characteristic of the KML-450 series is its user-friendly interface and easy-to-read control panel, which allows operators to monitor performance and make adjustments quickly. Maintenance is also simplified with removable air filters and a self-cleaning function that ensures the machine operates at peak efficiency over time. The durable stainless steel construction of the body not only lends a modern aesthetic but also ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion in demanding kitchen environments.

Moreover, both models incorporate a high-capacity storage bin, allowing for easy and convenient access to ice. The KML-450MWH features a water-cooled option, while the KML-450MAH is air-cooled, providing flexibility for installation based on the specific needs of the business.

In conclusion, the Hoshizaki KML-450MWH and KML-450MAH ice makers are characterized by their efficiency, reliability, and user-friendly design. They represent an excellent investment for businesses requiring high-quality ice production with minimal maintenance costs. With their combination of technological innovation and robust construction, these models are well-suited for the fast-paced demands of the food service industry.
