Ensure all components, fasteners and screws are securely in place after any 
maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment.

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.

4. For safety and maximum effectiveness, use cleaning and sanitizing 

solutions immediately after dilution.

1) Dilute 5 fl. oz. (148 ml) of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-

WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 1 gallon (3.8 lit.) of water.

2) Remove the Air Filter.  Remove all ice from the Evaporator and the Storage Bin.

Note:  To remove cubes on the Evaporator, move the Control Switch on the Control Box 

to the “OFF” position and move it back to the “ICE” position after 3 minutes.  The 
defrost cycle starts and the cubes will be removed from the Evaporator.

3) Move the Control Switch to the “OFF” position.  Open the Door.

4) Disconnect the Silicone Hose to drain the water.  See Fig. 6.  Reconnect the Silicone 

Hose back in its correct position after all of the water has drained.

5) Pour the cleaning solution into the Water Tank.  Move the Control Switch to the “WASH” 

position.  Close the Door.

6) After 30 minutes, move the Control Switch to the “OFF” position.
