Safety Information

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, follow these basic precautions:

• Ensure the appliance is connected to a potable water supply only.
• Always have a water pipe outlet and a floor drainage outlet (gravity drainage) near the unit. This is requisite for proper operation.
• Before first-time use, clean the ice machine and keep it in an upright position for 24 hours.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not allow children to operate or play with the ice maker.

Setup and Installation

Proper setup is crucial for the optimal performance of your ice maker. Please follow these steps carefully.

Important: After transport, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.

2. Water Connection

The ice maker supports dual inlet modes: direct tap water connection or bottled water. Choose the method that best suits your setup.

Figure 3: Illustration of connecting the ice maker to either a tap water supply with a filter and floor drain, or using bottled water with a drain bucket.

• Tap Water Connection: Connect the provided water inlet hose to a potable water supply. The water supply pressure should be between 0.04-0.6 MPa. Use the included filter for cleaner ice. Ensure the drainage pipe is connected to a floor drain.
• Bottled Water Connection: If using bottled water, place a suitable water bottle on top of the unit. Connect the drainage pipe to a drain bucket or floor drain.

Note: A floor drain is required for using this machine, especially for continuous operation with tap water. If using bottled water, a drain bucket is necessary for melted ice and drainage.

3. Power Connection

Plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements (115V/60Hz).

  • Ice Making: Illuminates when ice is being produced.
  • Reservation: Indicates reservation timer is active.
  • Add Water: Lights up when water supply is low or disconnected.
  • Ice Full: Indicates the ice bin is full.
  • Melting: Shows when ice is melting (e.g., during self-cleaning or defrost cycle).
  • Stoppage: Indicates an error or operational pause.
  • Clean: Illuminates during the automatic cleaning cycle.

3. Adjusting Ice Cube Thickness

The thickness of the ice cubes can be adjusted using the (+) and (-) buttons on the control panel. Pressing (+) will increase the ice making time, resulting in thicker ice cubes. Pressing (-) will decrease the ice making time, resulting in thinner ice cubes. The ice cube size is approximately 0.9'' x 0.9'' x 0.9''.

4. Ice Full and Add Water Indicators

• When the "Ice Full" indicator lights up, the ice bin is full, and the machine will pause ice production. Remove ice to resume operation.
• If the "Add Water" indicator lights up, the water supply is low. Refill the water bottle or check the tap water connection.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your ice maker and ensure hygienic ice production.

1. Automatic Cleaning Function

The ice maker is equipped with an automatic cleaning function:

1. Ensure the unit is connected to a water supply and drainage.
