Hoshizaki F-330BAK-C 300 lb/Day Air-Cooled Mini Cubelet Ice Machine with Storage Bin
F-330BAK-C
Product overview
The Hoshizaki F-330BAK-C combines an air-cooled ice-making system with a built-in storage bin and stainless steel exterior. It makes small, chewable mini cubelet ice for beverages. A drop-down door provides access to the 80 lb nominal storage bin. Front access and removable air filters simplify routine maintenance. A stainless steel auger with a greaseless bearing and an hourly two-second flush help manage ice production and sediment; scheduled cleaning and sanitation are still required.

Production and utility consumption
Produces up to 300 lb of ice per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water, or 250 lb at 90°F air / 70°F water. At the 90°F / 70°F condition, consumption is 5.0 kWh and 12 gallons of potable water per 100 lb of ice. Actual output changes with air and water temperatures, water quality and installation conditions. Daily production is separate from the amount of ice held in the bin.
Nominal storage uses total bin volume and an average ice density of 30 lb per cubic foot; usable stored ice varies with ice density and bin conditions.
Installation and service access
Have qualified personnel install the machine indoors on a firm, level foundation, away from ovens, grills and other high-heat equipment. Keep the front air inlet and outlet clear. Have the installer confirm the required operating and service clearances, including room for auger removal, before placing it under a counter. Check the complete installation drawing, door access, plumbing projections and leg height before preparing an opening. Use the built-in bin for ice only; a separate ice-making head or storage bin is not required.
Electrical and plumbing requirements
Provide an independent, properly grounded 115V, 60Hz, single-phase supply with 15A circuit protection. An 8-foot power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug is included. Do not use an extension cord or grounding adapter. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a GFCI receptacle. Installation must follow applicable electrical and plumbing codes.
Connect potable water through the ½-inch FPT inlet using at least ¼-inch nominal-ID copper tubing or equivalent, with shutoff and drain valves. Use pressure reduction above 113 PSIG. Select filtration for the local water quality, and confirm the permitted supply-water temperature before installation. The air-cooled condenser does not require a separate cooling-water circuit.
Use at least ¾-inch nominal-ID hard pipe or equivalent from the ¾-inch FPT drain connection. Provide a vented tee, a ¼-inch fall per horizontal foot and a vertical air gap of at least 2 inches above the floor drain. Do not pipe directly to the sewer. Leave enough access to service the water and drain lines.
R-290 refrigerant is flammable. Provide a room floor area of at least 3.7 m² (40.2 sq. ft.) for operation or storage, and install no higher than 2,000 m (6,561 ft.) above sea level. Refrigeration service must be performed by qualified personnel; keep ignition sources away and do not puncture the refrigerant tubing.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean and rinse the scoop daily. Inspect the air filter every two weeks and wash it with warm water and a neutral cleaner when dirty. Wipe the exterior monthly with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner; have external water filters checked monthly. Arrange professional cleaning and sanitation of the machine and bin every six months, including clear drains and drain pans. Water quality, the operating environment or local sanitation rules may require more frequent maintenance.
Schedule yearly inspection of the valves, water hoses, condenser, wiring and upper bearing. After three years, have the upper and lower bearings, seals, evaporator cylinder and auger inspected yearly as directed in the service manual. Greaseless bearings and automatic flushing do not replace these checks. Disconnect electrical power before servicing and follow the complete manual procedure and cleaning-chemical labels. Drain the machine for extended shutdowns or freezing conditions.
Limited warranty
Three-year parts-and-labor coverage applies to the machine; compressor and air-cooled condenser parts have coverage through year five, with labor excluded for the additional two years. Register within 30 days of installation. Coverage is for the original owner/user in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and U.S. territories, subject to proper installation, use, maintenance and exclusions in the written warranty.
