A. Cleaning & Sanitizing Instructions
Hoshizaki recommends cleaning and sanitizing this unit at least once a year. More frequent cleaning and sanitizing, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.
WARNING
1.To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia type cleaners.
2.Carefully follow any instructions provided with the bottles of cleaning and sanitizing solution.
3.Always wear
4.To prevent damage to the water pump seal, do not operate the icemaker with the control switch in the "WASH" position when the water tank is empty.
IMPORTANT
1.The cleaning valve is opened during cleaning and sanitizing to allow solution flow to the inside of the evaporator. It should be closed for all icemaking operation. The compressor will not operate unless this valve is completely closed.
2.To close the cleaning valve, the valve handle should be at a right angle to
the valve body. To open the cleaning valve, the valve handle should be parallel to the valve body.
