NOTICE
•Normal operating water temperature must be within 45°F to 90°F (7°C to
32°C). Operation of the appliance, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature range may affect appliance performance.
•Water supply pressure must be a minimum of 7 PSIG and a maximum of
113 PSIG. If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required.
• External filters, strainers, or softeners may be required depending on water quality. Contact your local Hoshizaki Certified Service Representative or local Hoshizaki distributor for recommendations.
• Connect to potable water supply only. Do not connect to a hot‑water supply.
• In areas where water damage is a concern, install in a contained area with a floor drain.
• Water line installation to the appliance is not warranted by Hoshizaki.

• A minimum of 1/2" nominal ID hard pipe or equivalent is required for the drain line. Installing a smaller diameter drain line will reduce water flow and may lead to water leakage or flooding.
