C. Maintenance
IMPORTANT
1. This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction
manual and labels provided with the icemaker.
2. To achieve optimum icemaker performance, the following parts need
periodic inspection and maintenance:
Extruding Head and Upper Bearing
Housing and Lower Bearing
Evaporator Cylinder
Auger
Gear Motor
Mechanical Seal
These parts should be inspected at least once a year or every 10,000 hours
of operation. Their service life, however, depends on water quality and
environment. More frequent inspection and maintenance are recommended in
bad or severe water conditions.
Replacement of the following consumable parts is recommended if wear
exceeds factory recommendations:
Upper Bearing
Lower Bearing
Mechanical Seal
Consult with your local distributor about inspection and maintenance service.
To obtain the name and phone number of your local distributor, call Hoshizaki

1. Icemaker and Storage Bin
• Hoshizaki recommends cleaning this icemaker at least twice a year. More frequent
cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.
• The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin.
2. Air Filter
A plastic mesh air lter removes dirt and dust from the air and keeps the condenser from
getting clogged. As the lter gets clogged, the icemaker's performance will be reduced.
Check the lter at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and a neutral
cleaner to wash the lter.
3. Condenser
Check the condenser once a year, and clean if necessary by using a brush or vacuum
cleaner. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the location of the
icemaker.
4. Stainless Steel Exterior
To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp
cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
