9. 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, first remove the water from the water-cooled condenser:

1)Turn off the power supply.

2)Remove the Front Panel.

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

4)Wait 3 minutes.

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

6)Replace the Front Panel and turn on the power supply.

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

8)Close the Water-cooled Condenser Water Supply Line Shut-off Valve. See Fig. 4.

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

10)Allow the line to drain by gravity.

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

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

KML-450MWH, KML-450MAH specifications

The Hoshizaki KML-450MWH and KML-450MAH are innovative and efficient commercial ice makers designed for a variety of food service applications. Both models are renowned for their reliability, compact design, and outstanding performance, making them ideal for restaurants, bars, cafes, and other establishments where ice production is essential.

One of the main features of the KML-450 series is its ability to produce crescent ice, which is known for its durability and slow melting properties. This kind of ice is favored by many establishments as it not only maintains the integrity of beverages but also reduces waste. The KML-450MWH model produces up to 400 pounds of ice per day, while the KML-450MAH provides slightly enhanced production capabilities, making them suitable for high-demand environments.

Both models are equipped with advanced technologies to ensure efficient ice production. The air-cooled design contributes to energy efficiency, reducing operational costs while maintaining optimum performance. The unit's innovative refrigeration system utilizes R-404A refrigerant, which enhances cooling efficiency and ensures reliable operation even in warmer conditions.

A notable characteristic of the KML-450 series is its user-friendly interface and easy-to-read control panel, which allows operators to monitor performance and make adjustments quickly. Maintenance is also simplified with removable air filters and a self-cleaning function that ensures the machine operates at peak efficiency over time. The durable stainless steel construction of the body not only lends a modern aesthetic but also ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion in demanding kitchen environments.

Moreover, both models incorporate a high-capacity storage bin, allowing for easy and convenient access to ice. The KML-450MWH features a water-cooled option, while the KML-450MAH is air-cooled, providing flexibility for installation based on the specific needs of the business.

In conclusion, the Hoshizaki KML-450MWH and KML-450MAH ice makers are characterized by their efficiency, reliability, and user-friendly design. They represent an excellent investment for businesses requiring high-quality ice production with minimal maintenance costs. With their combination of technological innovation and robust construction, these models are well-suited for the fast-paced demands of the food service industry.
