• Ensure the appliance is properly grounded.
• Do not operate the ice maker with a damaged power cord or plug.
• Keep the ice maker away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before initial use to allow refrigerant to settle.
• Use only potable water for ice production.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Product Overview

The Electactic Commercial Ice Maker is designed for high-efficiency ice production, featuring a durable stainless steel construction and an intuitive LED digital display. It produces up to 101 lbs of ice per 24 hours with a storage capacity of 33 lbs.

Key Components:

• Ice Maker Unit (Stainless Steel Casing)
• LED Digital Control Panel
• Ice Storage Bin (33 lbs capacity)
• Ice Scoop
• Water Inlet Hose
• Drainage Hose
• Adjustable Feet

Setup

1. Unpacking and Placement:

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials.
2. Place the ice maker on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 5 inches of space on all sides).
3. Allow the unit to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to stabilize.

2. Water Connection:

The ice maker supports two methods for water supply:

Figure 2: Water inlet options for the ice maker.

• Direct Tap Water Connection: Connect the provided water inlet hose to a potable water supply and the designated inlet on the ice maker. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
• Bottled Water Connection: For bottled water, connect the appropriate adapter and hose to a water bottle (e.g., 5-gallon) and the ice maker's water inlet.

3. Drainage Connection:

Connect the drainage hose to the unit's drain outlet and route it to a suitable drain or container. Ensure the drainage hose is positioned lower than the ice maker's drain outlet for proper water flow.

4. Initial Cleaning:

Before first use, it is recommended to clean the interior of the ice maker. Refer to the "Maintenance" section for detailed cleaning instructions. After cleaning, perform a self-cleaning cycle.

Operating Instructions

1. Control Panel Overview:

Figure 3: LED Digital Control Panel.

• ON/OFF Button: Powers the unit on or off. Press and hold to force ice to fall off.
• TIMER/CLEAN Button: Activates the timer function or initiates the self-cleaning cycle (press and hold for 5 seconds).
• '+' Button: Increases settings (e.g., ice thickness, timer duration).
• '-' Button: Decreases settings (e.g., ice thickness, timer duration).
• LED Display: Shows current status, temperature, error codes, and timer settings.

2. Starting Ice Production:

1. Ensure the water supply is connected and the drain hose is properly positioned.
2. Plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to start the unit. The machine will automatically begin the ice-making cycle.
4. The first batch of ice may take slightly longer. The unit can produce approximately 45 ice cubes in 12-18 minutes.

3. Adjusting Ice Thickness:

You can adjust the ice cube thickness to suit your preference:

Figure 5: Ice thickness adjustment options.

• While the machine is operating, use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through thickness settings.
• A shorter freezing time results in thinner ice, ideal for smoothies.
• A longer freezing time results in thicker ice, suitable for cooling drinks or retaining freshness.

4. Using the Timer Function:

The 24-hour timer allows you to schedule when the ice maker starts or stops operation.

1. Press the TIMER/CLEAN button once to activate the timer setting.
2. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the desired delay time (in hours) for the unit to turn on or off.
3. Confirm the setting by pressing the TIMER/CLEAN button again or waiting a few seconds for it to auto-confirm.

5. Ice Storage:

The ice storage bin is insulated to help preserve ice for a short period. For extended storage, transfer ice to a freezer, as this machine is not a refrigerator and cannot maintain ice in a frozen state indefinitely.

Maintenance

1. Auto Self-Cleaning Function:

The ice maker features an automatic self-cleaning function to simplify maintenance.

Figure 6: Self-cleaning cycle in progress.

1. Ensure the unit is connected to a water supply and the drain hose is properly set up.
2. Press and hold the TIMER/CLEAN button for 5 seconds. The display will indicate the cleaning cycle has started.
3. The self-cleaning process takes approximately 30 minutes. Do not interrupt the cycle.
4. Once complete, the unit will automatically switch off or return to standby mode.

2. Regular Cleaning:

• Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Interior: Periodically clean the ice storage bin and other accessible interior surfaces with a solution of warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and ensure all soap residue is removed.
• Water System: For optimal performance and hygiene, consider using a descaling solution specifically designed for ice makers every few months, especially in areas with hard water. Follow the descaling product's instructions carefully.

3. Draining the Unit:

To drain the water from the unit, locate the drain plug at the bottom of the machine. Place a container beneath it, remove the plug, and allow all water to drain. Reinsert the plug securely after draining.
