11. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE

IMPORTANT

When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water tank and remove the ice from the Storage Bin. The Storage Bin should be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker to prevent damage to the water supply line at sub-freezing temperatures, using air or carbon dioxide. Shut off the icemaker until the proper ambient temperature is resumed.

When the icemaker is not used for two or three days, it is sufficient to only move the Control Switch to the “OFF” position, unless the icemaker will be at sub-freezing temperatures.

[1]On water-cooled model only, first remove the water from the water-cooled condenser:

1)Remove the Front Panel.

2)Move the Control Switch, on the Control Box, to the “OFF” position.

3)Wait 3 minutes.

4)Move the Control Switch to the “ICE” position.

5)Allow 5 minutes for the icemaker to fill with water and the Water Pump to start operating.

6)Close the Water-cooled Condenser Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve. See Fig. 12.

7)Open the Drain Valve for the water-cooled condenser water supply line.

8)Allow the line to drain by gravity.

9)Quickly attach compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the Condenser Water Line Drain Valve.

10)Blow the water-cooled condenser out using compressed air or carbon dioxide until water stops coming out.

[2]Remove the water from the potable water supply line:

1)Remove the Front Panel. (Except water-cooled model)

2)Move the Control Switch, on the Control Box, to the “OFF” position.

3)Wait 3 minutes.

KM-2000SWH3, KM-2000SRH3 specifications

The Hoshizaki KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 are two of the latest innovations in the world of ice-making machines, designed for high-demand commercial settings where reliability and efficiency are key. Known for their durability and performance, these machines are ideal for restaurants, bars, hotels, and other businesses that require a steady supply of ice.

One of the standout features of the KM-2000 series is its production capability. Both models are designed to produce a staggering amount of ice—approximately 2,000 pounds per day. This high output ensures that establishments are never left wanting, meeting the needs of peak service hours without interruption.

Hoshizaki has integrated advanced technologies into these machines to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime. The KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 come equipped with a reliable, self-contained refrigerant system that operates efficiently even in warmer environments. This is particularly important for businesses located in hotter climates, as it ensures that ice production remains consistent throughout the year.

Another notable technology included in both models is the unique crescent-shaped ice that they produce. This type of ice is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers several functional advantages. The crescent shape allows for excellent cooling properties, making it perfect for drinks, while its hardness and density facilitate longer melting times, ensuring that beverages stay chilled for longer periods.

Additionally, Hoshizaki has incorporated a cleaning and sanitizing system in the KM-2000 series, ensuring that the ice produced is safe and hygienic. This built-in feature is crucial for maintaining health and safety standards in food service operations, reducing the need for manual cleaning and increasing operational efficiency.

In terms of design, both the KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 boast a compact footprint, making them suitable for spaces where size is a constraint. Their stainless steel construction not only adds to their durability but also enhances their visual appeal, fitting seamlessly into any commercial kitchen or bar environment.

Overall, the Hoshizaki KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 ice machines represent a convergence of efficiency, technology, and user-friendly design, making them a top choice for businesses that rely heavily on ice as a part of their service offerings. With their high production capabilities, advanced features, and commitment to quality, these models deliver reliable performance that operators can depend on day in and day out.
