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 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

Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.

1. Take out the ice basket.
2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.
3. Then use water to rinse the inside parts, and drain out the water from 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 reservoir.

After using your ice maker for a long time, we also suggest you should clean your unit. Especially the water separator pipe and the water filters, you must clean them periodically.

1. If the water separator pipe is blocked and there is no water flowing down when you listen the compressor and the water pump inside are still working, please turn off the unit first and disassemble this pipe down, and clean it. Clean each hole on the pipe wall displayed in the following picture. After cleaning, install back the water separator pipe and be sure the right terminal of the pipe connects to the silicone pipe well and as original.

A diagram illustrates the water separator pipe and evaporator, showing a hole on the pipe.

2. For both the water tank and the big water reservoir, clean them with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. Then use water to 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 hygienic, and also make the unit work normally.
3. When cleaning, if you find that the ice cube left on the evaporator cannot be taken out easily, you can turn on the unit to let it enter the ice making process, then press “ON/OFF” button for more than 5 seconds to let the unit start ice harvest process to melt the ice cube. It will help you remove the hard ice cube.

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

Because the water in the big water reservoir is stopped from draining by the water valve, if you want to drain away all the water, please plug in the unit and don't start the unit, then remove the drain port cap at the back. Wait some minutes, all of the water will flow out.

Using Your Ice Maker

Operation panel and display area

A diagram shows the operation panel and display area with labeled buttons and indicators.

1. Remove the cover of the water reservoir and pour potable water into the water reservoir. Be sure to keep water level below the max. level with the FULL mark displayed in the following picture. Then move back the cover at once to avoid foreign matter entering.

An illustration shows the water reservoir with a "FULL" indicator.

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

2. When you plug the unit, the power symbol < ⏻ > will flash. Press the <ON/OFF> button, the unit will start making ice cube, ice making symbol < ? > will keep running. The left up corner of the display area will show the ambient temp, e.g., 80 °F means the ambient temp is 80 °F. After several minutes, this area will show a flash number, the ice making will countdown, e.g., 10M means the ice making will finish 10 minutes later.
3. When ice maker harvests, symbol < ? > flash, the water will flow from the top water reservoir to the bottom water tank through the solenoid valve, the symbol < ? > will be on, when the water in the bottom water tank is full, the symbol < ? > will be off, then the next ice making cycle starts again. When there is no water in the water reservoir, the symbol < ? > will keep on. Turn off the unit and fill water again, then restart the unit to make ice cube. Or fill water directly and wait 20 minutes, the unit will restart.

Remark: The ice making cycle lasts about 13 to 25 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. For the first time, according to the initial water temperature, ice-making last time will be a little longer. In extreme hot room temperatures, ice-making time may vary a lot, but it will not exceed 35 minutes.

If you think the ice cube is not thick enough, during ice making, press the <+> and <‐> to set the ice making lead time. Press one time and the ice making cycle will increase or reduce one minute, 6 minutes most. This can only start from the new cycle.

4. When Ice Full symbol < ? > is on, the unit will stop, take out the ice cube inside, the unit will start working again. If press the button <ON/OFF> more than 5s, when the ice maker is working, the unit will start harvest. Press button <ON/OFF>, the unit will turn off.
5. Timer setting: Unit on timer setting, when the unit is working, timer setting the unit off. Unit off timer setting, when the unit is off, timer the unit on. Press the <TIMER> button, the display will show <1H>, and then press <+> and <‐> to set the time. During the setting, the H is flash, after 5s, the H will keep on and unit will be in your Timer setting.
6. Water Drain: Take off the drain plug cap on the back of the unit, take out the silicon plug, then drain the water inside. It is better that exchange water every 24 hours and clean unit every 3 days.

Automatic self-cleaning program

Start the self-cleaning program: Plug in the unit, press “TIMER” button on the control panel for more than 5 seconds to enter the self-cleaning program. It needs 20 minutes. The symbol ? rotates on display screens, time count down area 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 off-state automatically. You can also press the “ON/OFF” button on the control panel to cancel the self-cleaning program by force.

Troubleshooting

Warning:

• A. Make sure the water tank, water filter and the water separator pipe are not blocked; clean them.
• B. The water temp will affect the ice making capacity. The lower temp, the more ice cube produce.
• C. The cooler ambient temp, the more ice cube produce.
• D. Always use good quality water to make sure the pump works well. Bad quality water will cause pump noise, but doesn't affect the unit working.
• E. The compressor restarts 3 minutes later if you turn off the unit.
