1. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
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 for safe handling of the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. This will prevent irritation in case the solution comes into contact
with skin.
