Operation & Installation
ASSEMBLY AND PARTS
Control panel:
- water shortage indicator
- Ice full indicator
- Ice size indicators
- Select ice cube size
- Power button
Ice Maker Diagram Description:
The ice maker unit is shown with its top cover open. Key components visible include:
- Maximum water level (indicated under the ice basket)
- Ice scoop
- Ice full sensor
- Ice basket
- Top cover with transparent window
- Air vent (on the side)
- Water drain cap (located at the front bottom of the ice maker)
BEFORE FIRST USE
This portable ice maker uses a fully automatic control system with an advanced microcomputer for easy and convenient ice-making. Simply add water, plug into an outlet, and press the Power button. You can select one of two ice-cube sizes with the touch of a button.
The ice maker will stay idle for 3 minutes when you first use it or in ice-making cycles. It is suggested to discard the ice cubes made in the first four cycles to ensure the machine is clean. Warning indicators will alert you to add water when the tank is empty and to remove ice when the storage basket is full. The ice maker also has built-in safeguards that shut down the system automatically when needed to limit accidental damage.
Note:
- The incline of the ice-maker cabinet should not exceed 45 degrees during transportation or use.
- Do not turn the ice maker upside down; doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. When the ice maker is moved or transported, allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle.
- Before using the ice maker for the first time, wait 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its proper place.
- Ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or other flat, horizontal surface to prevent malfunction.
- The machine must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources (e.g., ovens, heaters) and corrosive gases. Leave a clearance of 8 inches (20 cm) on all sides for proper ventilation. Room temperature should be between 50°F and 100°F.
- Do not fill the water tank with hot water. Use only lukewarm or cold water.
PREPARING YOUR ICE MAKER
- Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
- Ensure the ice basket and ice scoop are inside. If any parts are missing, contact customer service.
- Remove the tape holding the ice scoop and ice basket.
- Clean the tank and ice basket with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Allow 1 hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle. Then plug the ice maker into a grounded wall outlet.
USE YOUR ICE MAKER
- Wipe out the interior of your ice maker with a clean, damp cloth before each use.
- When the machine is operating, ensure the drain plug is closed and the water level is sufficient. Plug the ice maker into a wall outlet; the green power indicator light should illuminate.
- Open the cover and remove the ice basket.
- Fill the water tank. NOTE: Do not add water above the Max Water Level mark at the back of the tank.
- Replace the ice basket and close the cover.
- Press the Power button. The green light should illuminate, signifying that the unit is on.
- To choose small or large ice cubes, press the Select button until the desired ice size is indicated.
- If the room temperature is below 60°F (15.6°C), select the Small ice cube size to prevent ice cubes from sticking together.
- Press and hold the Select button for 5 seconds to run 8 continuous cycles, even when the Ice Full indicator is on.
The ice-making cycle will last about 8 to 13 minutes, depending on the ice size selected. The cycle starts with water flowing into the water tray below the evaporator fingers. Over the next 8 to 13 minutes, ice forms on the evaporator fingers. Once this happens, the ice tray tilts back, and any remaining water drains into the water tank. Next, the ice cubes drop from the evaporator fingers. The ice shovel pushes the cubes forward into the ice basket. The ice tray then automatically moves back into position under the evaporator fingers to start the next cycle.
- When the ice basket is full, the Ice Full indicator will light up, and the ice maker will automatically stop the ice-making cycle. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. Once the ice basket is emptied and the cover is closed, the ice maker will restart its ice-making function automatically.
- When the water tank is empty, the Add Water indicator will light up, and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. The Power button will flash every 5 seconds. Press the Power button once, remove the ice basket, and add water to the water tank.
⚠️ Do not fill the water tank above the Max Water Level mark at the back of the tank. Wait 3 minutes. Then press the Power button to restart the ice-making function.
- When you have finished making ice, transfer the ice to a freezer. The ice will last in the ice maker for up to 18 hours, depending on the ambient temperature.
- Stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the Power button. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Open the cover and allow the ice maker to reach room temperature. Follow the directions in the Care and Cleaning section.
- Direct or reflected sunlight may cause the infrared sensor to malfunction. If the unit does not stop making ice cubes even when the ice basket is full, move the ice maker to a darker location.
- Change the water in the tank at least every 24 hours to keep the unit hygienic and prevent bad-smelling ice.
Maintenance & Tips
MAINTENANCE
Your ice maker is designed for year-round use and needs minimal cleaning and maintenance. When you first receive the unit, wipe the outside with warm, soapy water. Wipe again with a clean, wet cloth. Then wipe the unit dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your ice maker looking new.
Note:
To prevent damage to the finish, do not use the following:
- Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other solvents.
- Abrasive cleaners.
TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
- Stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the Power button. The green power indicator will go out, indicating the ice maker is off. Unplug the ice maker from the wall outlet and allow the unit to warm up to room temperature.
- If the water tray is not in the vertical position behind the evaporator fingers, gently push the water tray back so that all water drains into the water tank.
- Open the drain plug to drain out excess water.
- Remove the ice basket.
- Remove the water tube screen and rinse it under running water.
- Clean the interior of the ice maker with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solution of warm water and white vinegar. Rinse by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Replace the drain plug and the water tube screen. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
- Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft, damp cloth. If needed, use a solution of mild dishwashing liquid and water.
- Do not clean the evaporator fingers.
- Locate your ice maker in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances and heating ducts, and out of direct or reflected sunlight.
- Make sure that the appliance is sufficiently ventilated, with adequate air circulation behind it.
