3. Setup u Installazzjoni
The Hoshizaki AM-50BAJ-AD is designed for undercounter installation. Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
Passi ta' Installazzjoni:
- Spakkjar: Carefully remove the ice machine from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Post: Choose a location that allows for proper ventilation (front air intake/exhaust), access to a potable water supply, and a drain. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended operating range.
- Invellar: Use the adjustable leveling legs to ensure the unit is perfectly level. This is critical for proper ice production and drainage.
- Konnessjoni tal-Ilma: Connect the ice machine to a cold water supply line using appropriate plumbing fittings. An inline water filter is highly recommended to improve ice quality and reduce mineral buildup.
- Drenaġġ: Connect the drain line from the ice machine to an open, gravity-fed drain. Ensure there is a proper air gap to prevent backflow.
- Konnessjoni Elettrika: Plug the 6 ft power cord into a dedicated 115V/60Hz, 1-phase, 3.8 amp grounded electrical outlet (NEMA 5-15 plug).
- Treġġigħ lura tal-Bieb (Mhux obbligatorju): The door hinge can be reversed to open from either the left or right side, depending on your installation needs. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full installation guide for this procedure.

5. Manutenzjoni
Regular maintenance ensures your Hoshizaki ice machine operates efficiently and produces high-quality ice.
Tindif ta' barra:
Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn marks, a stainless steel cleaner can be used. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
Cleaning the Interior and Ice Bin:
Periodically clean the ice bin and internal components. Turn off the unit and disconnect power before cleaning. Remove all ice. Use a solution of mild soap and warm water to wipe down surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry before restarting the machine.
Descaling and Sanitizing:
Depending on water hardness, the ice machine may require periodic descaling to remove mineral buildup and sanitizing to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Refer to the full product manual for detailed instructions on descaling and sanitizing procedures, including recommended cleaning solutions.
Tindif tal-filtru tal-arja:
The air-cooled condenser has an air filter that should be cleaned regularly (monthly or more often in dusty environments) to ensure proper airflow and prevent reduced ice production. Locate the air filter (typically behind the front grille), remove it, wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, dry completely, and reinsert.
