Operating Instructions

1. Plug the machine into the socket.
2. Add water as shown in Sketch A (Add Water by Manual) or Sketch B (Connect Unit to Water Faucet). Sketch A shows manual water addition into the top reservoir. Sketch B illustrates connecting the unit to a water faucet via a pipe.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on or off the power.
4. Water will be pumped into the water tray from the water reservoir automatically; this takes about 30 seconds.

   Note: If no water is pumped to the water tray over two cycles but the water in the reservoir is enough, then please open the drain cap, and let several drops of water run out. Then press the ON/OFF button again to restart the unit.

5. Select the button SMALL or LARGE to start the ice making function you may need.
6. Ice making cycle begins; ice will be frozen onto the evaporator fingers.
7. Once the ice making cycle is finished, the water tray will tilt forward; the remaining water flows back to the water reservoir and the ice cubes will drop from the fingers.
8. In about 15-35 seconds, the water tray will tilt backward, ice will be pushed to the ice reservoir directly, and the unit will return to work from step 4 to step 6.
9. Push the ice cube dispenser puncher button to get ice; the indicator will be on. Please put your cup below the ice cube dispenser shoot directly.

   Notice: If the ice is stored in the unit for a long time, the ice may freeze and stick together, then no ice will be dispensed even if the ice is full. If so, please kindly use the scoop included in the unit to break the ice first, then push the puncher button.

10. Press the [Crushed Ice Button] unit to dispense crushed ice; press it again, the unit will stop crushed ice in 5 seconds.
11. Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the power of the unit.
12. Push the puncher at the left side of the unit; cold water will come out.

    Note: If you need to get cold water, at least the ice making function should be turned on. Please make sure your cup is below the cold water outlet, or water will be splashed everywhere.

13. If you need to take off the pipe, replace it, or insert the anti-drain plug, please do as follows: Firstly, take off the blue ring named as A, then press the white ring (lock) at the outer side named as B, and at last, take out the pipe.

Temperature Notes: When the temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, S/SMALL is recommended. When the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius, L/LARGE is recommended.

Caring

1. Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel, and evaporator frequently. When cleaning, unplug the unit and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and the outside surface of the ice maker. Do not spray the ice maker with chemicals or diluted agents such as acids, gasoline, or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.
2. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Always use fresh water before starting ice production, either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.

Troubleshooting

Follow these steps to resolve common issues:

1. If a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the off power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle, small ice chips may form and lodge in the automatic shovel, causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, then restarting.
2. Please restart the ice maker by pressing Stop and then Start. If the ice shovel does not push the ice into the ice collector after the formed ice drops from the evaporator finger, while at the same time the 'M' light is on, check to see if the water tray is horizontal or balanced. If not, then adjust by pressing the ice shovel lightly with your finger. Then re-start the ice maker.
