2. Cleaning and Sanitizing Procedures
IMPORTANT
Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any
maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment.
WARNING
1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least once a year. More frequent
cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.
2. To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia
type cleaners.
3. Always wear liquid-proof gloves to prevent the cleaning and sanitizing solutions
from coming into contact with skin.
IMPORTANT
1. The cleaning valve is used to allow solution flow to the inside of the evaporator
during the cleaning and sanitizing operation. It should be closed for all icemaking
operation. The compressor will not operate unless this valve is completely closed.
2. To open the cleaning valve, the valve handle should be parallel to the valve body.
To close the valve, the valve handle should be at a right angle to the valve body.
