C. Food Storage  
• Do not block the air inlet and outlet with food, or cooling performance may be reduced.  
• If the cabinet temperature is set to maintain a subfreezing temperature, do not store  
vegetables or any foods that should not be frozen, or these foods may deteriorate.  
• Do not tightly pack the cabinet with food. Allow some space between items/containers to  
ensure good air flow. Also allow space between food product and interior surfaces.  
• Do not put warm or hot foods in the unit. Let them cool first, or they will raise the cabinet  
temperature and could deteriorate other foods in the cabinet or overload the refrigerator.  
• All foods should be wrapped in plastic film or packed in a container. Otherwise foods may  
dry up, pass their smells onto other foods, cause frost to develop, result in poor unit  
performance, or increase the likelihood of cross-contamination. Certain dressings and  
food ingredients, if not stored in containers, may accelerate corrosion of the evaporator,  
resulting in failure.

and 3.6°F (2.0°C) below the setpoint for auxiliary code Q6 and later.  
3. Alarm Codes  
See the troubleshooting section for an explanation of the alarm codes.  
4. Defrost  
This unit is preset at the factory to defrost every 6 hours for general conditions, the first  
defrost occurring 6 hours after power to the unit is turned on. Note that the defrost is a  
heated defrost, and therefore will have a tendency to raise the cabinet temperature.  
Cabinet temperature is not displayed during defrost; “dF” is displayed in its place. Defrost  
may be initiated manually by holding down the MANUAL DEFROST button for  
5 seconds.  
14  
 
5. Start-up Delay  
The start circuit of the compressor is timed such that at power-up and during any  
compressor off-time, there will be at least a 2 minute delay before the compressor will  
start.  
6. Compressor Short Cycle Timer  
There is a 2 minute minimum off-time and on-time for the compressor.  
Note:  
• Any time the compressor is started, it will keep running for a minimum of 2 minutes.  
• Any time the compressor is turned off, it will stay off for a minimum of 2 minutes.  
• Time may vary with pressure switch activation.  
7. Safety Devices  
a) Pressure Switch  
When pressure on the high-side of the unit is detected to be above a preset limit  
(determined by Hoshizaki specifications), a pressure switch will activate causing power  
to be interrupted to the compressor relay. This power interruption will shut down the  
compressor for a minimum of 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, if pressure is no longer above  
the preset limit, the pressure switch will reset automatically. When the pressure switch  
resets, power will be resupplied to the compressor.  
b) Compressor Protector  
When a combined temperature/amperage value is above the limit specified by the  
compressor manufacturer, a protector will operate independently, turning off the  
compressor. The compressor will restart when this protector has reset.  
Note:  
• The compressor protector resets automatically.  
• If the condenser fan is operating and the compressor is off, it is most likely that the  
protector has operated.  
c) Defrost Protection  
Primary defrost termination is controlled by the defrost thermistor. However, two  
additional safeties are also present.  
1. Time Termination - 1 hour maximum  
2. Temperature Termination - Measured by a separate device that is in-line with the  
heaters and independent of the control board.  
8. Energy Saving Mode  
On some units, the evaporator fan and/or other components may operate intermittently as  
a means to reduce energy consumption. This setting is made at the factory and such  
operation is automatic.  
15  
 
F. Troubleshooting  
WARNING  
1. If the unit does not work properly, turn OFF the power switch and unplug the  
unit or disconnect the main power source, and immediately contact an  
authorized Hoshizaki service company. To prevent possible electric shock or  
fire, do not keep the unit in operation.

the freezer compartment with damp hands.  
4. Before using a sanitizer such as inert soap and sodium hypochlorite,  
thoroughly read the manufacturer’s instructions on the proper usage and  
amount.  
IMPORTANT  
1. To prevent damage to the painted or plastic surfaces, do not use the  
following: thinner, benzine, alcohol, petroleum, soap powder, polishing  
powder, alkaline cleaner, acid, scouring pad and especially those strong  
cleaners for use on a ventilating fan or a cooking range. Also, to prevent  
corrosion, do not use a chlorine bleach such as sodium hypochlorite on the  
stainless steel surfaces.  
2. Use clean cloth and hands for cleaning.  
3. Before cleaning the cabinet interior, move the stored foods into another  
cleanrefrigerator/freezer.  
1. Exterior  
The exterior is exposed to grease, moisture and dust. Even stainless steel needs  
periodic cleaning to prevent possible corrosion. Wipe the exterior occasionally with a  
clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build  
up. Clean the worktop as often as necessary to maintain a clean, sanitary work surface.  
2. Interior  
Spills should be wiped up promptly to avoid unpleasant odors. The cabinet interior  
should be cleaned periodically with a mild soap or detergent.  
3. Door/Drawer Gaskets  
Remnants of food on the gaskets or cabinet will accelerate aging. Door/drawer gaskets  
should be cleaned regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt and grease.  
19  
 
4. Shelves  
Remove and clean regularly.  
5. Air Filter  
As the air filter becomes clogged with dirt or dust, the unit’s performance will be reduced.  
Do not operate the unit with the air filter removed. This will accelerate clogging of the  
condenser and result in failure. Check the filter at least twice each month. If it is dirty, use  
warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter. To avoid damaging the air filter do not  
use water hotter than 104°F (40°C). The filter is located behind the front panel. This filter  
can be removed by opening the front panel and lifting the filter away from the condenser.  
Reinstall the filter after cleaning.  
6. Condenser  
Check the condenser (located behind the air filter) once a year and use a brush or  
vacuum cleaner to clean the unit as required.  
7. Drawers  
On units with drawers, the drawers can be removed for cleaning either individually or as  
an entire assembly.  
• To remove an individual drawer, first remove all food product from the drawer. Pull the  
drawer out to its fully extended position and lift up on the handle to disengage the  
drawer. Before removing the drawer, carefully support the rear and front of the drawer  
and then slowly remove it from the cabinet.  
• To remove the drawer frame assembly, first remove the drawers and then remove the  
fasteners in the thermal break and in the rear of the cabinet. Carefully slide the frame  
out of the cabinet, making sure not to damage the thermal break. Reinstall in the  
reverse order, making sure not to overtighten the screws in the thermal break.  
• To remove the drawer slide (center slide containing rollers) for cleaning, rotate the top of  
the slide away from the frame while the slide is completely inside the cabinet. Drawer  
slides do not require lubrication, but slides should be kept clean and free of food.  
Note: Drawer slides are dishwasher safe.  
B. Maintenance  
1. Air Filter  
The air filter promotes clean condenser surfaces and efficient unit operation by removing  
dirt and grease from circulating air. The filter should be checked monthly and cleaned  
when necessary—as described in “A. Cleaning - 5. Air Filter”.

2. Power Supply Connection  
WARNING  
1. Check periodically that the power cord plug blades and their vicinity are free  
of dust and that the plug is securely plugged into the receptacle. Dusty  
blades or a loose connection may cause electric shock or fire.  
2. Do not damage the power cord. It should not be altered, jerked, bundled,  
weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions could result in electric  
shock or fire.  
3. The unit must have a separate power supply or receptacle of proper capacity.  
Branching off the power cord, using an extension cord, or sharing a single  
power supply with other appliances may result in electric shock, heat  
generation or fire.  
If the plug or power cord is damaged, immediately contact an authorized Hoshizaki  
service company and ask for repairs.  
3. Other  
All other maintenance or service on this unit should be performed in accordance with the  
Hoshizaki Service Manual by a qualified service technician.
