2. Float Switch Cleaning
Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on F/S. Scale on F/S can cause inconsistent operation of UF/S and LF/S. In this case, both UF/S and LF/S should be cleaned and checked.
1)Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
2)Remove the front panel, then move the power switch to the "OFF" position.
3)Turn off the power supply.
4)Remove F/S assembly from the reservoir cover. See Fig. 1.
5)Wipe down F/S assembly with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Rinse the assembly thoroughly with clean water.
6)While not necessary, the floats can be removed from the shaft during cleaning. If you remove them, note that the blue float is on top (UF/S) and the white float is on bottom (LF/S). The floats must be installed with the magnets inside them towards the top of the switch. See Fig. 1. Installing the floats upside down will affect the timing of F/S operation.
7)Rinse F/S assembly thoroughly with clean water and replace in its correct position.
8)Move the power switch to the "ON" position.
9)Replace the front panel in its correct position.
10)Turn on the power supply.
11)Move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process.
