Control Panel Operation
Diagram of the control panel with indicator lights and buttons:
- ICE FULL: water full alarm
- ADD WATER: water shortage alarm
- ICE MAKING: ice making
- ON/OFF: Power Supply
- CLEAN: CLEAN button
Operation Steps:
- Plug in the power supply. The “ICE MAKING” indicator flashes, and the machine will start the deicing function. Press the ON/OFF button; the "ICE MAKING" indicator light is always on, and then the ice block will be made automatically. After the ice making is completed, the deicing will be carried out, and then the ice shoveling function will be entered, and so on.
- ADD WATER: Water shortage alarm. When the light is red, it means water shortage in the water tank. You need to add water and press the POWER button to restart the machine.
- ICE FULL: Ice full alarm. When the ice reaches the maximum amount of ice storage container, the "ICE FULL" light flashes, and the machine stops. At this time, the ice needs to be poured out. When the ice position is lower than the full sensor position, the machine will restart automatically.
- ICE MAKING: Ice making. When this light is always on, it means that the ice maker is making ice.
- CLEAN: Plug in the power supply, the “ICE MAKING” indicator flashes. Pressing the CLEAN button starts the cleaning function. Cleaning duration is 150 seconds. Do not disconnect the power supply during cleaning. After cleaning, the product will automatically enter the standby mode.
Operating Instructions
Step 1
Open the lid and take out the basket and add water to the reservoir. Note: There is a maximum scale MAX in the reservoir. The water should not exceed the MAX position. If the water exceeds the maximum scale MAX, you need to open the bottom drain plug, release the excess water, and cover with a transparent cover.
Step 2
Plug in the power and press the ON/OFF button to start the machine.
CAUTION
- When the indoor temperature is lower than 15 degrees, please choose small ice. When the indoor temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it is recommended to choose big ice.
- The three cycles used for the first time, the ice produced is small and irregular.
- When the ice basket is full, please take out the ice immediately; do not let the ice overflow the ice basket.
Cleaning & Use Guidance
- Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel and evaporator frequently. When cleaning, unplug the unit and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and the outside surface of the Ice maker. Do not spray Ice maker with chemicals or diluted agents such as acids, gasoline or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.
- Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Reuse the machine after being idled for a period of time; it may not have enough water to pump for air retard. In this case, the water shortage indicator "ADD WATER" will be on. Repress POWER button to restart the ice maker is okay.
- To ensure the cleanness of ice, please change water for the water reservoir at least once a day. If not used for a long time, please drain the water out and clean it up.
- If the compressor takes a strike action for shortage water, fully water or interruption of power supply, it will delay for 3 mins to start up after restarted.
- Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
Troubleshooting
1. Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle, small ice chips may form and lodge in the automatic shovel, causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, then restarting.
2. Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel cannot remove the ice to the ice basket. If not, please push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press POWER button to restart.

When the ice is full, the machine does not display the ice full Icon | 1. Ice full sensor damaged 2. Solar light interference |
1. Replace the ice full sensor 2. Move indoors to make ice 3. Call the service hotline |
WARNING
- If the power cord is damaged; it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
- Fill with potable water only.
- It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to reach temperatures between 70°C and 90°C during operation and surrounding areas may be very hot.
- Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear "Cloudy". This is air trapped in the water and will not affect quality or taste of ice.
- 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.
