F. Water Supply and Drain Connections

WARNING

1.Water supply and drain connections must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local regulations.

2.Normal operating water temperature should be within 45°F to 95°F (7°C to 35°C). Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature range may affect icemaker performance.

3.To prevent damage to equipment, 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.

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

•External filters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality.

Contact your local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations.

•Water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT). A minimum of 1/4" nominal ID copper water tubing or equivalent is required for the water supply line.

•A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve should be installed.

•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 is 1/2" FPT. A minimum of 1/2" nominal ID hard pipe or equivalent is required for the drain line.

•Drain line should not be piped directly to the sewer system. An air gap of a minimum of

2 vertical inches (5 cm) should be between the end of the drain pipe from the icemaker and the floor drain.

•For gravity drain installation, drain line must have 1/4" fall per foot (2 cm per 1 m) on horizontal runs to get good flow. A vented tee connection is also required for proper flow.

•For optional drain pump installation, refer to the instruction manual included with the

AM-50BAE-DS, AM-50BAE-ADDS, AM-50BAE-AD specifications

The Hoshizaki AM-50BAE series is a well-regarded line of ice makers designed for commercial applications. Among its notable models are the AM-50BAE-ADDS, AM-50BAE-AD, and AM-50BAE-DS, each providing efficient ice production with different configurations to meet varied needs.

A primary feature of the AM-50BAE series is its ability to produce high-quality, crescent-shaped ice. This type of ice is ideal for maintaining the integrity of beverages, as it allows melty ice to cool drinks without diluting them too quickly. The crescent shape ensures optimal bite and retention of cold temperatures, a highly sought-after feature in foodservice settings.

The series is equipped with a reliable and efficient refrigeration system. This technology enhances the unit's capability to produce a significant amount of ice in a short amount of time. Depending on the model, the daily ice production can reach up to 98 pounds, catering to the demands of various commercial environments such as restaurants, bars, and convenience stores.

Another key characteristic is the durable stainless steel construction, which not only provides a sleek appearance but also ensures longevity and easy maintenance. The exterior material resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture and other elements.

All models feature a built-in ice bin, which simplifies storage and accessibility. The AM-50BAE-ADDS stands out with its additional self-dispensing capabilities, allowing for direct service to customers without the need for manual handling. This is particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas where speed and efficiency are critical.

Moreover, the AM-50BAE series incorporates advanced technology such as energy-saving mode and self-diagnostic functions. These features help in monitoring the machine’s performance, promptly alerting users of any potential malfunctions, thus minimizing downtime.

For added convenience, the intuitive control panel facilitates easy operation and ensures that users can quickly adjust settings according to their specific ice needs. The low noise operation is another advantage, making it ideal for environments where sound levels must be kept to a minimum.

In summary, the Hoshizaki AM-50BAE-ADDS, AM-50BAE-AD, and AM-50BAE-DS models are exemplary choices for those seeking efficient and high-quality ice production in commercial settings. Their combination of innovative technologies, durable construction, and user-friendly features makes them stand out in the competitive ice machine market.
