Hoshizaki KM-1301SRJZ 1400 lb/Day Remote-Cooled Stackable Crescent Ice Machine

Product overview

The Hoshizaki KM-1301SRJZ is a remote air-cooled stackable ice-making head that produces individual crescent cubes for commercial beverage service. Rated output is 1,400 lb per 24 hours at 70°F air / 50°F water. Its stainless steel evaporator and exterior support daily operation above a separately selected compatible storage bin. This purchase supplies one ice-making head; the storage bin and any required top kit and URC-14FZ remote condenser are sold separately.

CycleSaver operation and EverCheck alerts support the ice-making cycle. Factory-installed ultrasonic bin control can be adjusted during installation, and CleanAssist provides a one-hour cleaning process. Complete the prescribed sanitizing procedure as well.

• ❄ 1,400 lb per day: Rated at 70°F air / 50°F water.
• ⚡ 60 Hz single-phase: Hardwired power; no cord or plug included.
• ↔ Remote air-cooled: URC-14FZ condenser sold separately.

Specifications

Production and utility use

At 90°F air / 70°F water, this model uses 4.28 kWh and 14 gallons of potable water per 100 lb of ice. Actual output varies with air and water temperatures and installation conditions. Production per day is not storage capacity; choose the bin for the quantity of ice that needs to remain available during service.

Installation and stacking

Install the head indoors on a level, secure compatible bin or dispenser, away from high-heat equipment. Allow at least 15 cm (6 inches) behind, beside and above the installed head for airflow and service. Check the full drawing for panel and connection projections, and include bin, legs and any stacked head in the installed height.

A second compatible head can increase production without a second bin footprint, but stacking requires the approved mounting arrangement and correctly connected bin controls. Have the installer check the model, control-board configuration, required harnesses and bin-control settings against the stacking instructions. Do not assume that any two models in the comparison list can be stacked together.

Confirm the exact bin, top kit and ice-drop opening before ordering. Use the bin and top-kit chart and installation manual; width alone does not establish compatibility. Keep the bin-control sensing area unobstructed.

Electrical and water requirements

Provide an independent, grounded 208–230V / 60Hz / single phase supply with 20A circuit protection. A qualified electrician must hardwire the machine and set the transformer voltage tap as specified for the delivered unit. Follow its exact wiring diagram and nameplate when connecting conductors.

Provide a potable-water shut-off valve and gravity drainage with the required slope, venting and air gap. Run the head, storage-bin and condensation drains separately as instructed, and provide enough access for service. Use the model-specific connection drawing and local plumbing code to size supply and drain lines.

Remote condenser installation

Install the separately sold URC-14FZ outdoors in a permanent, ventilated location with at least 24 inches of clearance at the front and rear. Its operating ambient range is −20°F to 122°F. The standard line arrangement supports up to 66 ft; longer runs, up to 100 ft, require the manual’s specified refrigerant-charge adjustment. Maximum vertical separation is 33 ft above or 10 ft below the head, measured fitting to fitting.

Have qualified refrigeration personnel complete the matched line set, electrical interconnections and leak checks. Supply power to the head for at least four hours before starting ice production. For stacked installations, follow the separate condenser and head-stacking instructions rather than connecting an unapproved shared system.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean and rinse the scoop daily. Wipe the exterior and underside monthly, check external water filters and clean the bin-control lens as directed.

Have the ice maker and storage assembly cleaned and sanitized at least annually, more often when water quality or local sanitation requirements demand it. Follow the model’s chemical dilution, rinsing and sanitation sequence. Isolate power before maintenance and arrange complete draining before extended storage or freezing conditions. Switching the control off does not disconnect every electrical load.

Warranty

Manufacturer coverage includes three years of machine parts and labor, five years of evaporator parts and labor, and five years of compressor and air-cooled-condenser parts. 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 and maintenance and the written terms and exclusions.
