J. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage

CAUTION

When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water line 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, follow the instructions below to 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. 9.

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.Follow the instructions below to 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.

4)Close the potable water supply line shut-off valve and open the potable water supply line drain valve. See Fig. 9.

5)Allow the line to drain by gravity.

6)Attach compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the potable water line drain valve.

7)Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.

8)Blow the potable water line out using compressed air or carbon dioxide.

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.
