A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions
Hoshizaki recommends cleaning and sanitizing this unit at least once a year. More 
frequent cleaning and sanitizing, however, may be required in some existing water 
conditions.
 WARNING
1. 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.
3. Always wear liquid-proof gloves and goggles to prevent the cleaning and 
sanitizing solutions from coming into contact with skin or eyes.
4. To prevent damage to the water pump, do not leave the control switch in 
the "SERVICE" position for extended periods of time when the water tank is 
empty.
