  4. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging ice maker in.
  5. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER

DANGER

* Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, please call our customer service.

  1. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
  2. Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.
  3. This appliance requires a standard 110-120volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER

Clean it thoroughly before you use it for the first time. Make sure the unit is unplugged before attempting to clean and allow it to warm up to room temperature.

  1. Take out the ice basket.
  2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.
  3. Rinse the inside part and drain out water through the draining port by unplugging the drain cap on the back.
  4. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
  5. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
  6. When the machine is not in use for a long time, open the water drain cap to drain water completely out from the water tank.

To maintain maximum efficiency and to prevent bacterial growth, we suggest you clean your unit regularly, especially the water pipe and water filters.

  1. If there is no water flowing down but you can still hear the compressor and water pump are working, the water pipe is probably blocked. To clean it up, turn off the unit first and then remove it from the unit. Clean each hole on the pipe wall as shown in the picture. After cleaning it up, make sure it's replaced correctly and the right end is connected to the silicone pipe.
  2. For both of the water tank and the big water reservoir, clean them with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse the inside and drain out the water from the draining port by unplugging the drain cap on the back. It will help you keep the unit and ice-cube clean and maintain its efficiency.
  3. If you find there are ice left in evaporator and cannot be removed easily, press and hold the power button for more than 5 seconds to activate ice dumping mode. The whole process might take 1-3 minutes.

How to drain out the water from the internal tank and big water reservoir completely

To drain out the water from both the big water tank and inner tank, unplug your unit and remove the cap of the Water Outlet.

1. Adding Water

Remove the water reservoir cover and pour potable water into the reservoir. Make sure the water level is below the FULL mark as shown in the picture. Close the cover at once to avoid foreign matter enter.

Warning: Do not pour the water into the internal water tank underneath the ice basket. This tank is not big enough and will affect the ice making performance.

During ice making process, the ? stays ON, ice making symbol ? zooms, and the current ambient temperature is shown on the upper left of the display. For example, "25" indicates that the current ambient temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. After a few minutes of ice making, the number in Time Indicator starts to flash, indicating the remaining time for this ice making cycle. For example, a flashing number "8" means it will take 8 minutes to finish the ice making.

B. Ice Making and Dumping Cycle

C. Ice Making Cycle Duration:

Each ice making cycle lasts about 15-25 minutes. It varies according to the ambient temperature and water temperature. The duration especially lasts longer when you use it for the first time, or the water temperature is high.

D. Adjustment of ice thickness:

During the ice making cycle, the thickness of the ice cube can be adjusted by pressing "+" and "-" on the operation panel. The default figure at the lower right of the display for ice making time is "0". Each time you press "+", the duration adds 1 minute, and the ice cube will be thicker. The maximum time can be added is 6 minutes. The actual duration will be displayed in the lower right corner of the display. Each time you press "-", the duration decreases 1 minute, and the ice will be thinner. The maximum time can be reduced is 6 minutes. After the machine is powered on again, it returns to the default setting "0". Please note the time you set takes effect from the next ice making cycle.
