Key Features
- Rapid & Efficient Ice Making: Equipped with an 800W powerful compressor, capable of producing approximately 360 lbs of ice every 24 hours. Each cycle yields 195 ice cubes in 8-15 minutes.
- Large Storage Capacity: Features a 250 lbs large storage bin, ideal for storing a significant quantity of ice cubes.
- Durable Construction: Constructed with an all-stainless steel shell and food-grade PP liner, ensuring clear and safe ice. The cyclopentane foaming layer provides extended ice storage.
- Intelligent Control Panel: Allows for easy adjustment of ice cube thickness, initiation of automatic cleaning, and setting reservation functions. Icons on the panel provide real-time status monitoring.
- Split Design: The split design offers more space for ice production and storage. Note: The head and ice storage cabinet are shipped separately and may arrive on different days.
- Easy Installation: Comes with a water filter, scoop, and water pipes for convenient installation near a water supply. Four anti-slip bottom feet keep the ice maker elevated from the floor and moisture.

Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker. Follow these steps carefully:
- Unpacking: Carefully unpack all components. Ensure both the ice maker head and the storage cabinet are present.
- Placement: Choose a stable, level location near a water supply and drainage point. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The four anti-slip feet should be adjusted to ensure stability and prevent moisture contact with the floor.
- Assembly:
- Attach the ice maker head to the storage cabinet. This typically involves aligning and securing the two parts.
- Install the ice storage bin door/cover. This is easily installed with tools, ensuring a secure fit for insulation.
- Water Connection: Connect the ice maker to a direct tap water supply using the provided water pipes. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. Install the water filter as instructed to ensure purified water for ice production.
- Drainage: Connect the drain pipe to the water discharge hole. Ensure the drain pipe is properly sloped to allow for continuous water flow and prevent blockages.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the unit's requirements (110 Volts).
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, perform an initial cleaning cycle as described in the "Maintenance" section.

Operating Instructions
The VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker features an intelligent control panel for easy operation.
Control Panel Overview:
Image: The intelligent control panel displays various icons and information, including water shortage alarm, auto cleaning, switch mode, cleaning/setting, reservation/thicker ice, auto ice falling, full ice stop, and lighting/thinner ice settings.
- Power On/Off: Use the main power switch located at the back of the unit to turn the machine on or off.
- Ice Production: Once powered on and water supply is connected, the machine will automatically begin the ice-making process. The control panel will display the current status.
- Adjusting Ice Thickness: Use the "Cleaning/Setting" or "Reservation/Thicker" buttons on the control panel to adjust the thickness of the ice cubes. Thinner ice takes less time to produce (5-8 minutes), while thicker ice takes longer (11-15 minutes).
- Reservation Function: Utilize the reservation timing feature to preset the ice maker to operate at specific times, allowing for ice production when needed.
- Monitoring Status: The control panel icons provide real-time feedback on the machine's status, including water shortage alarms, full ice bin alerts, and auto ice falling indicators.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your ice maker.
- Automatic Cleaning: The ice maker features an auto-cleaning function. Initiate this process by pressing the designated button on the control panel (typically within 5 seconds). This helps maintain cleanliness and prevents mineral buildup.
- Water Filter Replacement: Regularly check and replace the water filter to ensure clean water supply and prevent scale buildup in the machine.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Interior Cleaning: Periodically clean the ice storage bin and other accessible interior parts with a food-safe cleaner. Ensure thorough rinsing.
- Drainage System: Ensure the drain pipe remains clear and free of obstructions.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VEVOR Commercial Ice Maker, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine not making ice. | No water supply; clogged water filter; power issue; low refrigerant. | Check water connection and supply; replace water filter; ensure power is connected and switch is on; contact customer support for refrigerant issues. |
| Ice production is slow. | High ambient temperature; poor ventilation; dirty condenser; incorrect ice thickness setting. | Ensure proper room temperature; check for adequate airflow around the unit; clean the condenser; adjust ice thickness setting to thinner. |
| Ice cubes are not clear. | Poor water quality; dirty water system. | Replace water filter; perform auto-cleaning cycle; consider additional water filtration if water quality is consistently poor. |
| Error codes displayed. | Specific internal malfunction. | Refer to the specific error code in the full product manual (if available) or contact VEVOR customer support with the error code. |
