CAUTION

To prevent damage to the pump assembly, 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 drain for condensation is a 3/8" ID pipe. The icemaker drain and the condenser drain piping connections 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.

The KM-501MWH model is equipped with advanced technology that ensures energy efficiency and reduced water usage. It features a powerful compressor and a highly efficient evaporator, which work together to minimize energy consumption while maximizing output. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice, reducing operational costs for businesses.

The KM-501MAH model stands out with its air-cooled condenser system, which allows for optimal performance without the need for extensive cooling water lines. This makes the installation process easier and reduces complexity, enabling businesses to set up their ice machine with minimal hassle. Furthermore, it features a self-cleaning mode that simplifies maintenance, contributing to consistent ice quality over time.

On the other hand, the KM-501MRH is designed for rugged environments. It is constructed with high-quality materials that enhance durability and longevity, making it suitable for outdoor applications or establishments located in warmer climates. The stainless-steel design not only contributes to the machine's robustness but also ensures easy cleaning and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Another key characteristic of the Hoshizaki KM-501 models is their user-friendly control panel. These machines come with intuitive controls that allow operators to easily adjust settings and monitor performance. This feature is particularly useful for staff in busy kitchens, enabling them to focus on service without constant checks on ice production.

Overall, the Hoshizaki KM-501MWH, KM-501MAH, and KM-501MRH offer excellent performance, energy efficiency, and user-friendliness. Their combination of innovative technologies, durable design, and high output capacity make them exceptional choices for any establishment in need of reliable ice production. Whether for a bustling restaurant or a bar serving up cocktails, these machines deliver ice that consistently meets high standards.
