Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on F/S. Scale on the switch can
cause the oat to stick. In this case, F/S should be cleaned.

3) Remove the insulation panel, then remove the drain plug located on the lower front part
of the ice chute. See Fig. 1. Allow the water tank to drain.
4) Replace the drain plug in its correct position. Be careful not to cross thread it.
5) Disconnect the vent tube and the ush tube from the top of F/S, then remove F/S
assembly from the mounting bracket and remove the rubber boot from the bottom of
F/S assembly. See Fig. 2.
6) Remove the retainer rod from the bottom of F/S assembly, then remove the oat. Be
careful not to bend the retainer rod excessively when removing it.
7) Wipe down F/S assembly's housing, shaft, oat, and retainer rod with a mixture of 1 part
Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Clean the inside of the rubber boot
and hose with cleaning solution. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water.
