Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury, follow these safety instructions:

1. Before use, verify the voltage power matches the appliance nameplate. If not, do not use and contact the seller.
2. Do not remove safety, warning, or product information labels.
3. Plug into an exclusive grounded power outlet. Do not use the same outlet for other appliances. Ensure the plug is fully inserted.
4. The appliance must be grounded via its power cord with a grounding plug.
5. Avoid extension cords due to fire risk. If necessary: use a grounded extension cord with a marked rating equal to or greater than the appliance's rating, and position it to prevent tripping hazards or pulling by children.
6. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after malfunction. Return to an authorized service facility for repair.
7. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or a similarly qualified person.
8. Do not let the cord hang over edges or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near hot gas/electric burners or in heated ovens.
10. Place the power cord to prevent pulling by children or tripping hazards.
11. Ensure the power cord does not contact hot surfaces.
12. Using attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
13. Do not touch ice-making parts during operation to avoid frostbite.
14. Do not immerse any part of the product in water.
15. To disconnect, turn controls to "OFF" and remove the plug from the outlet.
16. Do not plug or unplug with wet hands.
17. Unplug before cleaning, maintenance, or when not in use.
18. Do not use microbiologically unsafe or unknown quality water.
19. Do not clean with flammable fluids, as fumes can create fire or explosion hazards.
20. Do not overturn the ice maker. If overturned, let it stand upright for 2 hours before powering on.
21. If brought in from cold temperatures, allow the unit to warm to room temperature for a few hours before operating.
22. Never place flammable, explosive, or corrosive articles inside the ice maker.
23. Never use the ice maker if there is a flammable gas leakage.
24. Never store or use gas/flammable articles near the ice maker.
25. Unplug before moving to avoid damaging the refrigerating system.
26. Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, modify, or replace any part.
27. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience/knowledge, unless supervised by a responsible person.
28. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
29. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
30. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
31. Do not use the appliance for unintended purposes.
32. Do not use outdoors.
33. Dispose of the ice maker according to local regulations due to flammable blowing gas and refrigerant.
34. Save this operation guide.
35. When handling or moving, avoid damaging the refrigerant pipeline or increasing leakage risk. Handle with care and do not force installation.
36. If the compressor, condenser, motor, copper tube, or other parts are damaged, they must be replaced with identical parts by factory-authorized personnel to minimize fire risk.
37. This ice machine complies with applicable U.S. federal regulations, including 21 CFR, Chapter 1.
38. Before maintenance, disconnect the machine to prevent electric shock and UV radiation exposure.
39. Users cannot replace the UV lamp; only maintenance personnel can.

Know Your Ice Maker

Diagram Description: The ice maker features a front door, a viewing window, and an IMD control panel on the front. On the side, a power cord is visible. The ice maker also includes an ice basket, a drain tube, and an ice scoop.

(Product appearance may be subject to change without prior notice.)

Control Panel

Before First Use

1. Unpack the appliance and check all accessories (ice basket, ice scoop, etc.). Contact customer service if any are missing.
2. Place the ice maker on a flat surface.
3. The incline angle of the ice maker cabinet should not exceed 45 degrees during transportation or use. Do not turn it upside down, as this could cause compressor/refrigerating system malfunction. Allow fluids in the compressor to settle for 2 hours after moving before first use.
4. Place the appliance on a dry, level surface with sufficient ventilation, away from heat sources (ovens, heaters) and corrosive gases. Maintain a 15cm clearance on all sides for ventilation.
5. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water, as it may damage the ice maker. Use room temperature or colder water.
6. Do not use the appliance in cold environments (below 5°C).
7. Clean the appliance according to the "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" section before operation.

Using Your Ice Maker

1. Ensure the drain plug at the back is closed securely.
2. Plug the ice maker into a wall outlet. The [ON/OFF] indicator flashes. Note: Rest the ice maker for 30 minutes before plugging if it has been moved.
3. Open the front lid and remove the ice basket.
4. Fill the water reservoir with drinking water, ensuring not to exceed the MAX water level mark.
5. Replace the ice basket and close the front lid.
6. Press the "ON/OFF" key (long press then release). The [ON/OFF] indicator lights solidly.
7. The ice-making cycle takes approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on ambient and water temperature.
8. The ice-making assembly produces ice when water is pumped into it. Ice cubes transfer to the ice tray and then drop into the ice basket. This repeats until the basket is full.
9. When the ice basket is full, the [Ice full] indicator lights up, and the ice maker stops automatically. Remove ice with the scoop. Replace the basket and close the lid; the ice maker will restart automatically. If ice is not removed, it will resume after about 8 hours, or you can press "ON/OFF" to restart.
10. The [Water refill] indicator flashes when automatic/manual water refill is needed.
    • With automatic water filling: The machine may start refilling automatically (approx. 3.5 mins wait). Alternatively, remove the ice basket, manually add water to the MAX line after closing the front door. Do not add water without closing the front door to prevent overflow.
    • Without external water source: Remove the ice basket, manually fill the reservoir, close the front lid, and the ice maker will restart.
11. When the [Water shortage] indicator lights solidly, it means water shortage and the unit stops.
    • For automatic water filling: Check tap water pressure or ensure the pipe is connected and the switch is on.
    • For manual filling: Remove the ice basket, manually add water to fill the sink, close the front door panel, and the machine will return to its working state.
12. When desired ice amount is reached, press "ON/OFF" to stop the cycle and unplug the unit.
13. Transfer ice to a freezer.
14. Allow the ice maker to reach room temperature.
15. Replace water every week. Empty the reservoir if the ice maker is not used for a long time.
16. The ice maker can connect to an external water source using a 1/4 PE tube, as shown in Fig. 1 in the "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" section.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To keep ice tasting fresh, clean the ice maker at least once per week.

1. Remove the ice basket, add water and detergent to the water reservoir. Press and hold "Clean" for about 3 seconds; the [Clean] indicator lights up, entering cleaning mode.
2. After 8 minutes, the appliance stops, and the [Clean] indicator flashes.
3. Rotate the machine 90 degrees. Remove the drain tube at the back, place it at a sewage port, and open the drain plug. Sewage will discharge until the machine is drained.
4. Close the drain plug, fill the reservoir with water, and press "Clean" again. The [Clean] indicator lights up, entering cleaning mode.
5. Repeat step 3 after removing the detergent.
6. Clean the inside with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and vinegar.
7. Close the drain pipe. Place the drain plug in its slot. Clean the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry.
8. Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth, using mild dishwashing soap if needed.
9. Do not use organic solvents, boiled water, strong acids, or strong alkalis for cleaning.
10. Empty and dry the water reservoir for storage if the ice maker is not used for a long time.
