After Long-Term Use

After using the ice maker for a long time, we also suggest you should clean it. In particular, you must clean the water separator pipe and the water filters periodically.

Cleaning the Separator Pipe:

If the compressor and water pump work normally, but there is little or no water running down from the separator pipe, please remove the separator pipe to check if it is blocked.

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the ice maker.
2. Pinch the left end of the separator pipe and pry it out.
3. Clean each hole on the separator pipe.
4. Connect the separator pipe to the hose on the right side, then clip the left end of the separator pipe into the slot on the left side. Please make sure the holes point downwards.

Diagram shows the water separator pipe being removed and reconnected.

How to drain out the water from the water tank and water reservoir completely?

Because the water in the water reservoir is blocking the drain port by the draining plug, if you want to drain away all the water, please plug in the ice maker but don't turn it on, then remove the water draining cap at the bottom. Wait a few minutes while all of the water is let out.

Clean the Water Tank and the Water Reservoir:

1. Clean them with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth.
2. Then use water to rinse the inside, and drain out the water. This will help you keep the ice maker and ice cubes hygienically, and also make the ice maker work normally.

Please Note: When cleaning, if you find that the ice cubes left on the evaporator cannot be taken out easily, you can turn on the ice maker to let it enter the ice-making process, then press the "ON/OFF" button for more than 5 seconds to let the ice maker start the ice harvest process to melt the ice cubes. This will help you remove the hard ice cubes.

Diagram shows how to take out the support seat for the water bottle.

Using Your Ice Maker

Preparing for Use

1. Find a location for the ice maker that is protected from direct sunlight and other sources of heat (i.e.: stove, furnace, radiator). Place the ice maker on a leveled surface. Make sure that there is at least 6 inches of space between the back and sides of your ice maker and the wall.
2. The ice maker must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
3. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the ice maker in.

WARNING: Fill with drinkable water only.

• Check and clean the water tank, reservoir, filter screen, and separator pipe regularly to ensure they are not blocked by any impurities.
• The ice-making capacity depends on the water temperature. The colder the water, the more ice is produced.
• The ice-making capacity depends on the ambient temperature where the ice maker is placed. The colder the ambient temperature, the more ice is produced.
• The quality of the water used will affect the working life of the circulating pump. It is best to use pure water or distilled water. Some abnormal sounds in the pump working process are caused by impurities in the water, which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the use of the ice maker.
• There will be a delay of 3 minutes when the compressor restarts during the working process.

Ice Making Operation

1. Remove Cover And Pour Into Water: Remove the cover of the water reservoir and pour drinkable water into the water reservoir. Be sure to keep the water level below the max. level with the FULL mark displayed.

Diagram shows the water reservoir with a "FULL" mark indicating the maximum water level. It also shows the support seat for a water bottle.

Warning: Do not pour the water into the water tank located underneath the ice basket, which will affect the ice-making performance.

2. Turn On The Ice Maker:
   • Plug in the ice maker. The electric power symbol (⏻) will start to flash, and the ambient temperature will display at the top left corner of the screen window (e.g., <80°F>).
   • Press the "ON/OFF" button to turn on the ice maker. The water will flow into the water tank to the standard water level, then the compressor starts to make ice cubes. The screen window will display as follows: Power symbol (⏻) turns into an always-on state; Ice-cube symbol (?) turns into a rotating state; The ambient temperature display will disappear.
   • After some minutes of ice-making duration, the ambient temperature displaying area will display a flashing digit (e.g., <10M> means it will take 10 minutes to complete this ice-making process).
   • When the ice maker harvests, the symbol (?) flashes. After the ice maker harvests, it will automatically go into the next ice-making process. Water will flow from the water reservoir to the water tank through the solenoid valve, and the symbol (?) will be on. The symbol (?) will be off if the water in the water tank is full, then the next ice-making cycle starts again.

   Please Note:

   • When there is no water in the water reservoir, the symbol (?) will keep on. Press the "ON/OFF" button to turn off the ice maker and fill water again, then press "ON/OFF" button again to turn on to make ice cubes. Or, fill water directly and wait 20 minutes; the ice maker will restart by itself.
   • Each ice-making cycle lasts about 13 to 25 minutes, depending on the ambient and water temperature. For the first time you use it, it takes more time to make ice cubes due to the initial water temperature. In extremely hot room temperatures, it takes more time but will be within 35 minutes to make ice cubes.
   • When the (?) symbol lights on, the ice maker will turn off by itself and will turn on by itself if you take the ice cubes away from the water tank.
3. How To Set The Thickness Of The Ice Cubes: Press the "+" or "-" buttons to set the time of the ice-making process. The more time it takes, the thicker ice cubes it will produce. Adjustments are made in 1-minute increments for each press of the "+" or "-" buttons.

   Please Note:

   • You can increase the time up to 6 minutes.
   • This can only start from a new ice-making cycle.
   • If you restart the ice maker, it reverts to the default setting 0. You need to re-set the ice-making time.
4. How To Harvest The Ice Cubes During The Ice-making Process: Long press the "ON/OFF" button for more than 5 seconds when the ice maker is working; the unit will start to harvest. Press the "ON/OFF" button again to turn off the ice maker.
5. How To Use The Self-cleaning Function: Start the self-cleaning program: Plug in the unit and press the "TIMER/CLEAN" button for more than 5 seconds to enter the self-cleaning program, which takes 20 minutes. The symbol (?) rotates on the screen window, and the countdown area at the top left displays "20M". Cancel the self-cleaning program: It takes about 20 minutes to complete one self-cleaning program. When the program is over, the system will be in an off-state automatically. You can also press the "ON/OFF" button to cancel the self-cleaning program by force.
6. How To Set The Timer:
   1. Press the "TIMER" button, and the display will show <01H>.
   2. Then press "+" and "-" buttons to set the time. There is a 1-hour adjustment for each press of the "+" or "-" buttons. During the setting, the <H> is flashing. The <H> will remain on after 5 seconds, which means the setup is complete.

Please Note:

• If the lower left corner displays "5H" in standby state, it means that the ice maker will automatically turn on after 5 hours.
• If the lower left corner displays "5H" in the ice-making process, it means that the ice maker will automatically turn off after 5 hours.
• The "H" on the display indicates that the ice maker is in the timing function. The digits will get smaller and smaller. When it reaches 0, the ice maker cancels the timing function.
• When the ice maker is in timing function, the screen window will show the ice-making time and timing time, which will switch every 5 seconds.

How To Cancel The Timer

1. When the ice maker is in the timing function (<xx H> on the screen), press the "Timer" button, and both digits and "H" on the screen will turn off, which means the timing function is canceled.
2. You can also directly press the "ON/OFF" button on the screen to forcibly turn off the timing startup function and also turn off the ice-making process.

How To Drain Out The Water

1. Plug in the power.
2. Unplug the draining plug at the bottom of the ice maker but do not turn it on.
3. After the drainage is completed, reset the drainage plug.

Please Note: You can empty the water in the water tank by unplugging the water draining cap at the bottom of the ice maker. If you need to empty the water in the reservoir, you need to plug in the power but not turn it on, then unplug the water drainage cap to empty the water.
