Frequently Asked Questions - IM-100A Hoshizaki

What is the daily ice production of the Hoshizaki IM-100A?

The IM-100A produces up to 100 kg of ice per day for 5 mm cubes and 112 kg for 15 mm cubes under standard conditions (ambient 10°C, water 10°C).

What are the electrical requirements for the IM-100A?

The unit requires a separate 220-240V, 50Hz, 10A supply with proper earthing. The main control box fuse is rated at 5A and should only be replaced by a qualified engineer.

4. LOCATION

▲WARNING

This icemaker is not intended for outdoor use.

The icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing equipment.

This appliance is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be used.

△CAUTION

The location should provide a firm and level foundation for the icemaker.

NOTICE

Do not place anything on top of the icemaker or in front of the louver.

IMPORTANT

Normal operating ambient temperature should be within 1°C to 40°C. Normal operating water temperature should be within 5°C to 35°C. Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.

Allow the clearance specified below for proper air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required.

5. INSTALLATION

△CAUTION

Incorrect installation can cause harm to people, animals or other items, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

* Place the icemaker in the selected permanent site.
* When attaching the adjustable legs (accessory), level the unit in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions.

6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

⚠WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHEDThis icemaker requires an earth that meets the national and local electrical code requirements.

To prevent possible severe electrical shock to individuals or extensive damage to the unit, install a proper earth wire to the icemaker.

Disconnect the main power supply before any maintenance, repairs or cleaning is undertaken.

* This appliance requires a separate 220 - 240VAC, 10A supply. The electrical supply must be protected by a suitable circuit breaker.
* The main control box fuse is rated at 5A and should only be replaced by a qualified service engineer.

* Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
* If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a replacement cord available from Hoshizaki Parts/Service Centres.

7. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only.

* The connections to the mains water supply must be made in accordance with the countries' current requirements of the Water Supply or Water Fittings Regulations.
* Icemaking water must be potable water. Where scaling can be caused by water quality:

- Installation of an external filter or softener is recommended. Contact your local water treatment professional or Hoshizaki service agent.

- Change to the "full drain flush" mode is recommended. Contact your local Hoshizaki service agent.

* Water supply pressure should be minimum 0.07 MPa (0.7 bar) and maximum 0.78 MPa (8 bar). If the pressure exceeds 0.78 MPa (8 bar), use a proper pressure reducing valve. Do NOT throttle back the supply tap.
* A plumbing permit and services of a licensed plumber may be required in some areas.
* The icemaker drain is gravity flow, so ensure drain pipe has an adequate pitch or fall.
* Drain lines should not be piped directly to the sewer system. A vertical air gap of a minimum of 5 cm should be between the end of the drain pipes from the icemaker and the floor drain.
* To prevent a backflow into the storage bin, the outlet hose must be laid as shown.

* Be sure to use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance. Do not reuse any old hose-sets.

1) Attach the angled end of white flexible inlet hose (accessory) to the G3/4 fitting on the rear side of the icemaker as indicated, ensuring rubber sealing washer is correctly positioned. Hand tighten sufficiently to provide leak free joint.
2) Attach the other end of inlet hose to the water tap, noting washer is correctly positioned before hand tightening as above. It is a wise precaution to have a stop valve within easy reach.
3) Hand tighten grey flexible outlet hose (accessory) onto the R3/4 fitting on the rear of the icemaker as indicated, ensuring rubber washer is correctly positioned to obtain a leak free joint. The pipe can be cut to length as necessary to suit position of main drain.

NOTICE

All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may result in failure. If the unit is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor.

AHYGIENE

This icemaker is designed to produce edible ice. To keep the icemaker hygienic:
* Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (accessory).
* The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin nor use other electrical appliances in the bin.
* Clean the storage bin before use (see "III. 1. CLEANING").
* Keep the scoop clean. Clean it by using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
* Close the door after removing ice to prevent entrance of dirt, dust or insects into the storage bin.

1. START UP

The installer will normally commission the icemaker to start the automatic icemaking process. To ensure continuous operation, make sure that:

* The water supply tap is on, and
* The icemaker is connected to the power supply.

2. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE

NOTICE

This icemaker will not work at subfreezing temperatures. To prevent damage to the water supply line, drain the icemaker when air temperature is below zero.

AHYGIENE

When shutting down the icemaker for two or more days, drain the icemaker to prevent contamination in the water circuit.

1) Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power supply.
2) Close the water supply tap, and remove the inlet hose.
3) Remove all ice from the storage bin, and clean the bin.
4) Ask for draining of the icemaker by professional qualified personnel.

III. MAINTENANCE

1. CLEANING

▲WARNING

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the icemaker from the electrical supply network.

This appliance must not be cleaned by use of a water jet.

△CAUTION

When using a neutral cleaner or sodium hypochlorite, thoroughly read and understand the instructions provided to prevent potential health problems.

NOTICE

Ask a trained service person to clean and sanitize the icemaker water system at least twice a year and to check and clean the condenser at least once a year.

To prevent possible damage, do not clean the plastic parts with water above 40°C or in a dishwasher.

[a] Machine and Bin Exterior

Wipe the exterior at least once per week with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off grease or dirt.

[b] Scoop Cleaning/Sanitisation (Daily)

1) Either mix 1 litre of water with 4 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a suitable container, or the recommended Hoshizaki sanitiser as directed.
2) Soak the scoop in the solution for more than 3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and shake to remove surplus liquid.
Note: Using a cloth to dry may re-contaminate.

[c] Storage Bin Interior Cleaning/Sanitisation (Weekly)

1) Open the storage bin door, and remove all ice.
2) Wash the bin liner with a neutral non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly.
3) Soak a clean cloth with the neutral cleaner, and wipe both sides of the slope and the door inner surface. Wipe off the cleaner with a clean damp cloth.
4) Either mix 5 litres of water with 18 ml of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution in a suitable container, or the recommended Hoshizaki sanitiser as directed.
5) Soak a clean sponge or cloth with the solution, and wipe the bin liner, bin door and slope.
6) The remaining solution can be used to sanitise utensils.

Note: Do not wipe dry or rinse after sanitising, but allow to air dry.

[d] Air Filter

Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt or dust from the air, and keep the condenser from getting clogged. If the filters get clogged, the icemaker's performance will be reduced. Remove and clean the air filter(s) at least twice per month:

1) Slide the air filter off the filter guide [IM-30CA] or the louver [IM-45CA/65A/100A/130A].
2) Clean the air filter by using a vacuum cleaner. When severely clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the air filter.
3) Rinse and dry the air filter thoroughly.

NOTICE

After cleaning, be sure to place the air filter back in position.
