III. Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING

1.CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after any cleaning or maintenance is done to the unit. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin.

2.The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the storage bin.

3.Keep the area around the icemaker clean. Dirt, dust, or insects in the unit could cause electrical damage to the equipment or harm to individuals.

A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions

Hoshizaki recommends cleaning and sanitizing this unit at least once a year. More frequent cleaning and sanitizing, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.

WARNING

1.To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia type cleaners.

2.Carefully follow any instructions provided with the bottles of cleaning and sanitizing solution.

3.Always wear liquid-proof gloves and goggles to prevent the cleaning and sanitizing solutions from coming into contact with skin or eyes.

4.After cleaning and sanitizing, be careful not to leave any cleaning or sanitizing solution in the icemaker.

1. Cleaning Solution

IMPORTANT

For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately after dilution.

Dilute 5 fl. oz. (148 ml or 10 tbs) of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" with 1 gallon (3.8 l) of warm water. This is a minimum amount. Make more solution if necessary.

2.Cleaning Procedure

1)Remove all ice from the evaporator and the storage bin.

Note: To remove cubes on the evaporator, move the control switch to the "OFF" position and then move it back to the "ICE" position after 3 minutes. The harvest cycle starts and the cubes will be removed from the evaporator.

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

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.
