Startup | Hoshizaki AM-50BAE-DS, AM-50BAE-ADDS instruction

H. Startup

WARNING

1.All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage.

2.If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor.

3.At startup, confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks.

1)Open the water supply line shut-off valve.

2)Make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet. If you have to slide the unit back for a built-in installation, make sure you do not damage or pinch the water supply, drain connections, or power cord.

3)If required by sanitation code in your area, seal the perimeter where the machine touches the floor with approved caulk compound in a smooth and easily cleanable manner.

4)Move the control switch to the "ICE" position and allow the icemaker to operate for

2 minutes. This allows the water tank to fill.

5)Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.

6)Inside the storage bin, disconnect the suction tube by squeezing the tabs and pulling the tube clear. See Fig. 31. Allow the water tank to drain.

7)Reconnect the suction tube as illustrated. See Fig. 32. Make sure the tabs lock into place; a loose fitting may cause a water leak.

8)Clean the storage bin liner, door liner, and door gasket using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

9)Move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process.

10)To confirm bin control operation, hold ice in contact with the bin control thermostat bulb. The icemaker should stop within 10 seconds. Adjustment may be needed, particularly at higher altitude locations.

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.
