FAQ

Q: What are the plumbing requirements for the KML-500MAJ?

A: The KML-500MAJ requires a minimum 1/4" Nominal ID Copper Water Tubing or equivalent for the icemaker water supply line. For drainage, it needs a minimum 3/4" Nominal ID Hard Pipe or equivalent. The unit operates with a water pressure range of 10-113 PSIG and a water temperature range of 45°F to 90°F.

Q: Is this ice machine compatible with different types of ice storage bins?

A: Yes, the KML-500MAJ is compatible with various Hoshizaki bins, including models B-250SF, B-500SF, B-700SF, and larger capacity bins like B-1500SS and B-1650SS for two-unit applications. A top kit may be required for proper installation with certain bin models.

Q: What is the warranty coverage for this ice machine?

A: Hoshizaki provides a 3-year parts and labor warranty on the entire machine. Additionally, there's a 5-year parts and labor warranty on the evaporator, and a 5-year parts warranty on the compressor and air-cooled condenser coil. This warranty is valid in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories.

Detailed Features & Benefits

Low-Profile Design and Installation Flexibility: The KML-500MAJ's standout feature is its low-profile design, measuring just 22" in height. This compact form factor is a game-changer for businesses with limited vertical space or those looking to maximize their layout efficiency. The low profile allows for installation under counters, in tight corners, or in areas where overhead clearance is restricted, opening up new possibilities for ice machine placement in kitchens, bars, and service areas. Despite its compact size, the KML-500MAJ doesn't compromise on production capacity, offering up to 543 lbs of ice per day. This combination of high output and space efficiency makes it an ideal solution for establishments that need to balance ice production with space constraints, such as busy bars, cafes, or healthcare facilities with limited utility areas.

CycleSaver™ Technology and Energy Efficiency: The KML-500MAJ incorporates Hoshizaki's innovative CycleSaver™ technology, which significantly enhances the machine's operational efficiency and longevity. This system reduces the number of freeze/harvest cycles required to produce a given amount of ice. By doing so, it not only decreases energy consumption but also significantly reduces wear and tear on critical components. The machine uses just 4.33 kWh per 100 lbs of ice produced, which is remarkably efficient for its capacity class. This efficiency translates to lower operational costs over time, making the KML-500MAJ an economically sound investment for businesses. The reduced cycling also contributes to a longer lifespan for the machine, potentially lowering long-term replacement and maintenance costs. Additionally, the EverCheck™ alert system works in tandem with the CycleSaver™ technology to provide real-time diagnostics, allowing for proactive maintenance and ensuring the machine operates at peak efficiency throughout its lifecycle.

NOTICE: Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection either before or after the system.
