Operation
Steps for first use:
- Before starting the device for the first time, clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons.
- Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the cord into an electrical outlet for the first time.
Steps for usual use:
- Open the clear lid to remove the Ice Basket and pour water into the water reservoir. Keep the water level below the MAX level. If water levels exceed the MAX level, drain any excess water by removing the drain plug.
- After power on, the ice maker will enter standby mode, and the indicator is orange.
- Press the button ❄️ for the first time to switch to large ice mode, and the indicator will flash green.
- Press ❄️ for the second time to switch to small ice mode, and the indicator will flash blue.
- Press ❄️ for the third time, it will return to the standby mode, and the indicator will turn orange again.
- Repeat above steps to select your desired ice mode.
- In standby mode, the indicator is always on; when making ice, the indicator will flash; when the basket is full, the device will beep and stop; when there is water shortage, the indicator will turn red and the buzzer will beep every 10 seconds.

Troubleshooting
| Issues | Suggestions |
|---|---|
| The device does not work | Check if the switch is on. Check if the plug and socket are connected well. Check if the fuse has been burnt. Check if the power supply is operational. |
| The ice cubes stick together | Switching on/off the device frequently may cause compressor start delay. The ice cycle may be too long; stop the device then restart it when the ice cubes melt. |
| The ice cubes have odor/taste | Ice stored for an extended period may absorb odors; discard old cubes, use the device regularly. The interior of the device needs cleaning. |
| Red light flashes once every 5 seconds | Possible cause: low voltage. Make sure to connect to the correct voltage. |
| Red light flashes twice every 5 seconds | Possible cause: condenser fan is overloaded. Disconnect power for 30 minutes & re-start. |
| Red light flashes three times every 5 seconds | Possible cause: compressor not kicking in; overheating of the compressor & electronics. Disconnect power for 30 minutes & re-start. |
| Red light flashes four times every 5 seconds | Possible cause: no parameter can be detected by the controller. Disconnect power for 30 minutes & re-start. |
| Red light flashes five times every 5 seconds | Possible cause: temperature sensor is faulty. Contact manufacturer for service. |
