2)Five minutes after a freeze cycle starts, confirm that the thermometer reads 104°F to 115°F (40°C to 46°C). If it does not, rotate the adjustment screw by using a flat blade screwdriver until the temperature is in the proper range. See Fig. 1. Next, check that the reference pressure is in the range indicated in the Head Pressure table in the Performance Data section. If it is not in the proper range, verify the refrigerant charge.

3)Check that the condenser drain temperature is stable.

J. Removal and Replacement of Headmaster (Condensing Pressure Regulator - C.P.R.) - Remote Air-Cooled Model Only

IMPORTANT

Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.

1)Turn off the power supply.

2)Remove the panels from the remote condenser unit.

3)Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container.

4)Before heating, break off the stub on the dome to release the dome charge.

5)Disconnect the headmaster using brazing equipment.

6)Install the new headmaster. Use nitrogen gas at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG when brazing the headmaster.

CAUTION

Always protect the headmaster body by using a damp cloth to prevent it from overheating. Do not braze with the headmaster body exceeding 250°F (121°C).

7)Install the new drier in the icemaker.

8)Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG) and soap bubbles.

9)Evacuate the system and charge it with refrigerant. See the charge label in the machine compartment in the icemaker.

The KM-501MWH model is equipped with advanced technology that ensures energy efficiency and reduced water usage. It features a powerful compressor and a highly efficient evaporator, which work together to minimize energy consumption while maximizing output. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice, reducing operational costs for businesses.

The KM-501MAH model stands out with its air-cooled condenser system, which allows for optimal performance without the need for extensive cooling water lines. This makes the installation process easier and reduces complexity, enabling businesses to set up their ice machine with minimal hassle. Furthermore, it features a self-cleaning mode that simplifies maintenance, contributing to consistent ice quality over time.

On the other hand, the KM-501MRH is designed for rugged environments. It is constructed with high-quality materials that enhance durability and longevity, making it suitable for outdoor applications or establishments located in warmer climates. The stainless-steel design not only contributes to the machine's robustness but also ensures easy cleaning and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Another key characteristic of the Hoshizaki KM-501 models is their user-friendly control panel. These machines come with intuitive controls that allow operators to easily adjust settings and monitor performance. This feature is particularly useful for staff in busy kitchens, enabling them to focus on service without constant checks on ice production.

Overall, the Hoshizaki KM-501MWH, KM-501MAH, and KM-501MRH offer excellent performance, energy efficiency, and user-friendliness. Their combination of innovative technologies, durable design, and high output capacity make them exceptional choices for any establishment in need of reliable ice production. Whether for a bustling restaurant or a bar serving up cocktails, these machines deliver ice that consistently meets high standards.
