Installation and Setup
Caution: Installation must be performed by professionals.
Installation Requirements:
⚠️ CAUTION Lifting Hazard: It is recommended to have two people move and install the ice maker in order to prevent injury.
Product Installation Requirements
- The product is designed to be installed indoors. Do not use your ice maker outdoors.
- The product must be installed upright on a flat, level surface capable of supporting the total weight when full of water.
- Ensure a minimum of 50cm clearance around the side and back walls of the ice maker for proper air circulation.
- Install the product in a well-ventilated area with an ambient temperature between 3°C and 40°C.
- Do not place the product near heat sources such as ovens or cook tops.
- Do not place the product in direct sunlight or rain.
- Do not place any items on top of the machine.
Prepare for Use
- Carefully remove packing material. Do not use sharp tools that can damage the ice maker.
- Ensure all components are present. (An assembled filter, 1 drainage pipe, 2 silica plugs, drip tray, and drip tray cover are standard on the machine.)
- Place the ice maker upright on a flat, level surface and plug it in.
- Clean the ice maker before first use.
Connect to Water and Drain Pipe
The ice maker must be connected to tap water. If there is a problem caused by tap water without a filter, the company will not bear the cost of repairing.
⚠️ CAUTION The water supply pressure should be 0.1-0.4MPa; if the pressure is greater than 0.4MPa, a pressure reducing valve is required.
(1) Use tap water as water source
The filter you received is assembled. Plug the water intake pipe firmly into the connector at the back of the machine until it cannot be inserted further. Connect the other side to the water tap.
(2) Drain
? WARNING: The drain of the inner tank must always be hooked up to a floor drain or a container, or the water will leak to the floor! The drain of the internal water tank should only be connected to a floor drain after cleaning, or it must be plugged.
Understanding the Display
A. Please make sure:
- The tap is on, or there is water in the bottle (if applicable).
- The drain pipe is inserted into a sink or bucket.
- The machine is powered on.
B. Touch screen:
Illustration of the ice maker's touch screen interface. Indicators and icons include: STANDBY, MAKING ICE, ICE FULL, DISPENSE ICE, CLEAN, ADD WATER, FAULT. Below these are larger icons for MAKING ICE, DISPENSE ICE, and LARGE/CLEAN.
Control Board
- Standby: Plug the power cord into the socket to make the machine enter standby mode.
- Touch "making ice", "dispense ice", or "clean" icons under standby mode; the selected indicator will blink.
- Making ice: Touch the "Making ice" icon under standby mode or "clean" mode to start making ice. Long touch this icon for 2 seconds during "Making ice" mode to return to standby mode.
- Dispense ice: Touch this icon under standby or "making ice" mode to dispense ice. Touch again to stop dispensing. If no ice is dispensed within 30s, it will stop automatically. If the outlet is jammed, long press this icon for 5s; ice cubes will be dispensed automatically after 2-5s.
- Large / Clean: Touch this icon during "making ice" mode to dispense ice continuously for 5min. Touch again to stop dispensing ahead of time. Long touch the icon for 3s under standby mode to start the self-cleaning progress. Touch again to stop the self-cleaning progress. After cleaning, unplug the outlet to drain. Make sure the drain pipe is connected before starting the machine.
NOTE:
- Clean mode and ice making mode cannot be operated at the same time.
- The two outlets of the machine must be hooked up to a floor drain after cleaning. Observe the water flow to avoid overflow.
- After that, the outlet of the internal water tank must be plugged.
- Ice full: If infrared rays detect no ice fall for over 2 minutes, the machine will stop, and the "ice full" indicator will turn on. The machine will restart when some ice is taken out or after the ice melts.
- Fault: If no ice falls for over 15 minutes during the first cycle, the machine will stop, and the FAULT indicator will turn on. After that, if no ice falls for over 3 minutes, the machine will stop working, and the FAULT indicator will turn on.
Warning: The ice machine is used to make and store ice. Wash your hands before taking ice.
Clean and Care
- For long time storage:
- Power off the machine and pull the plug.
- Turn off the faucet and remove the inlet pipe.
- Take out all the ice and drain the water inside.
- Dry the ice bin and interior.
- Daily cleaning: During operation, scales precipitate in the water tank. If not cleaned, it may cause malfunctions. Generally, it needs to be cleaned once a week. Remove all nugget ice, add 10% edible citric acid to the water tank during cleaning, touch the clean icon. It will take about 5 minutes to finish the clean procedure. Rinse repeatedly with fresh water before using. Observe the water flow at any time during cleaning mode to avoid overflow; if the water flow is too swift, turn down the tap.
- Clean interior: NOTE: Pull the plug before cleaning or maintaining. To ensure normal operation, check and clean the condenser annually. Do not use alcohol to clean the inside of the machine, as it will damage the plastic materials.
- Clean exterior: Clean the exterior with detergent weekly.
