Delivery and setup

  • Free shipping on this item. See our shipping policy for delivery details.
  • Inspect the box for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
  • The shipping carton is 27" x 21" x 39" and the unit ships at 125 lb. (92 lb. net).
  • Plan a plumber for the 1/2" FPT water inlet and the 3/4" FPT drain. Add the optional HS-5061 drain pump if there is no gravity drain.
  • Have a 115V, 15 A circuit with a NEMA 5-15 receptacle within reach of the 6.5 ft. cord. If GFCI protection is required, Hoshizaki says to use a GFCI breaker, not a GFCI receptacle.
  • Hoshizaki recommends a water filter; see its water filter spec sheet for the matching configuration.
