G. Installation of Remote Condenser Unit for Remote Models WARNING • Installation of remote condenser unit must be performed by properly trained and EPA-certified service personnel. • The remote condenser unit must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations. • Failure to install the remote condenser unit within these guidelines may adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage.
2. Checks Before Installation 1) Remove the shipping carton, tape, and packing material. 2) Check that the refrigerant lines do not rub or touch lines or other surfaces, and that the fan blades move freely. 3. Setup 1) Assemble 2 sets of legs using the legs, bolts, and nuts provided. See Fig. 12. 2) Position 1 of the plates provided between a set of legs and the remote condenser unit, then secure the legs to the remote condenser unit with the bolts and nuts provided.
a) Factory Line Set Installation 1) Route the factory line set (see "II.G.4 Line Set Size and Refrigerant Charge" for details) from the remote condenser unit to the icemaker. Leave a service loop behind the icemaker to allow the icemaker to be pulled out for service. See Fig. 13. Factory fabricated line sets are precharged and do not need to be evacuated. If the line set is too long or too short, see "II.G.5.a)(1) Factory Line Set Modification.
(1) Factory Line Set Modification 1) Recover the line set charge through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick connect couplings and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. Remove the extra line set length or add extra tubing. When adding extra tubing, insulate the additional copper tubes separately. 2) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks.
7) Connect the refrigerant lines to the appropriate male fittings on the remote condenser unit first and then at the icemaker. Make a proper connection as follows: a. Remove the protective covers from the male fitting and female coupling. b. Apply Polyol Ester (POE) refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube to the entire male fitting, including O‑ring, diaphragm, and threads, before making the connection. See Fig. 14. NOTICE! Do not use thread sealant on the fittings.
6. Electrical Connection WARNING • Electrical connection must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or damage. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, make all remote condenser unit connections before connecting the icemaker power supply. • THE REMOTE CONDENSER UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED.
3) Install a ground wire from the icemaker fan motor junction box to the remote condenser unit junction box. Use wire of an appropriate gage and outdoor rating. 4) Install line and neutral wires from the fan motor leads in the icemaker fan motor junction box to the leads in the remote condenser unit junction box. Use wire of an appropriate gage and outdoor rating. 5) Replace the junction box covers and the louver panel in their correct positions. 7.
H. Final Checklist WARNING CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the dispenser unit/ice storage bin.
I. Startup WARNING All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage. NOTICE • If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor. • The pump motor is energized continuously when the control switch is in the "SERVICE" position. • At startup, confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks.
III. Maintenance The appliance must be maintained in accordance with the instruction manual and labels provided. Consult with your local Hoshizaki Certified Service Representative about maintenance service. WARNING • Only qualified service technicians should service the appliance. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or service switch with damp hands. • Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply before servicing.
B. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions The icemaker must be cleaned and sanitized at least once a year. More frequent cleaning and sanitizing may be required in some water conditions. WARNING • To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia type cleaners. • Carefully follow any instructions provided with the bottles of cleaning and sanitizing solution.
8) In bad or severe water conditions, clean the float switch as described below. Otherwise, continue to step 9. a. Remove the control box cover. Remove the 2 thumbscrews securing insulation panel (B), then remove insulation panel (B). See Fig. 18. b. Disconnect the discharge hose, the drain valve drain hose, and the overflow drain hose. c. Disconnect the pump motor connector from the back of the control box, then disconnect the float switch connector from the control board. d.
17) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel. 18) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position. 19) Replace the front panel in its correct position. 20) Turn on the power supply to fill the water tank with water. 21) Turn off the power supply after 3 minutes. 22) Remove the front panel. 23) Move the service switch to the "WASH" position, then move the control switch to the "SERVICE" position. 24) Replace the front panel in its correct position.
15) Replace the front panel in its correct position. 16) Clean the dispenser unit/storage bin liner using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. 17) Turn on the power supply to start the automatic icemaking process.
IV. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of Non-Use NOTICE • When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below to prevent damage. • The pump motor is energized continuously when the control switch is in the "SERVICE" position. When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is sufficient to move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Open the condenser water supply line drain valve. If connected to a closed loop system, also open the condenser return line drain valve. 4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line drain valve. 5) Open the water regulating valve by using a screwdriver to pry up on the spring retainer underneath the spring. While holding the valve open, blow out the condenser using the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.
V. Disposal The appliance contains refrigerant and must be disposed of in accordance with applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations. Refrigerant must be recovered by properly certified service personnel.
