OPERATING PROCEDURES & MAINTENANCE

UNPACKING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Remove all interior and exterior packaging. Check that the ice basket and ice scoop are included. Contact customer service if any parts are missing.
2. Clean the interior with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Remove the ice basket and clean it separately.
3. Find a location protected from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stove, radiator). Place the ice maker on a level surface. Ensure at least 6 inches of space around the unit (back and sides).
4. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging in the ice maker.
5. Ensure the appliance is positioned so the plug is accessible.

WARNING: Fill with potable water only.

CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER

DANGER: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, contact customer service.

• This unit must be properly grounded for safety. The power cord has a three-prong plug for standard grounded wall outlets.
• Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong. Consult a certified electrician for any power or grounding questions.
• This appliance requires a standard 220-240 volt, 50Hz electrical outlet with a three-prong ground.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER

Before first use, it is strongly recommended to clean the ice maker thoroughly.

1. Take out the ice basket.
2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth.
3. Rinse the inside parts with water and drain by unplugging the drain cap on the back.
4. Clean the exterior regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
6. If the machine is not in use for a long time, open the water drain cap to drain water completely from the water reservoir.

After prolonged use, clean the unit periodically, especially the water separator pipe and water filters.

Water Separator Pipe Cleaning:

If the water separator pipe is blocked and no water flows despite the compressor and pump working, turn off the unit. Disassemble the pipe and clean each hole. Reinstall the pipe, ensuring the silicone pipe connection is secure.

Diagram Description: Shows the water separator pipe and evaporator, highlighting the holes on the pipe.

Water Tank and Reservoir Cleaning:

Clean both the water tank and the large water reservoir with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with water and drain via the port on the back. This keeps the unit and ice cubes hygienic and ensures normal operation.

Removing Stuck Ice Cubes:

If ice cubes are stuck on the evaporator and difficult to remove, turn on the unit to start the ice-making process. Then, press and hold the "ON/OFF" button for more than 5 seconds to initiate the ice harvest process, which melts the ice cubes.

How to Drain Water Completely:

To drain all water from the big water reservoir (which has a water valve), plug in the unit but do not start it. Remove the drain port cap at the back. Wait for all water to flow out.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

Operation Panel and Display Area

The operation panel includes buttons for TIMER, ON/OFF, +, and -, and a display area (LCD) showing various indicators.

1. Remove the water reservoir cover and pour potable water into the reservoir. Ensure the water level is below the MAX/FULL mark. Replace the cover immediately to prevent foreign matter entry.

   Warning: Do not pour water into the internal water tank located underneath the ice basket, as it is not large enough and will affect ice-making performance.

2. When the unit is plugged in, the power symbol [Power Symbol] will flash. Press the <ON/OFF> button to start making ice cubes; the ice-making symbol [Ice Making Symbol] will run continuously. The top-left corner of the display will show the ambient temperature (e.g., 80°F). After a few minutes, it will show a flashing number indicating the ice-making countdown (e.g., 10M means 10 minutes until completion).
3. During ice harvest, the harvest symbol [Harvest Symbol] flashes. Water flows from the top reservoir to the bottom water tank via a solenoid valve. The symbol [Water Full Symbol] will turn on when the bottom tank is full and then turn off. The next ice-making cycle begins. If there is no water in the reservoir, the lack water symbol ? will remain on. Turn off the unit and refill water, then restart. Alternatively, fill water and wait 20 minutes for the unit to restart automatically.

Remark: The ice-making cycle typically lasts 13 to 25 minutes, depending on ambient temperature. Initial ice-making times may be longer. In very hot rooms, ice-making time can vary but should not exceed 35 minutes.

To adjust ice cube thickness, press the <+> or <-> buttons during ice making to adjust the lead time by one minute per press (maximum 6 minutes). This adjustment starts from the next cycle.

4. When the Ice Full symbol ? is on, the unit stops. Remove the ice cubes to allow the unit to resume operation. Pressing the <ON/OFF> button for more than 5 seconds while the ice maker is working initiates the harvest cycle. Pressing <ON/OFF> briefly turns the unit off.
5. Timer Setting: The unit can be set to turn on or off at a specific time. Press the <TIMER> button; the display will show <1H>. Use the <+> and <-> buttons to set the desired time. During setting, 'H' flashes; after 5 seconds, 'H' remains solid, indicating the timer is set.
6. Water Drain: Remove the drain plug cap on the back of the unit, take out the silicon plug, and drain the water. It is recommended to exchange water every 24 hours and clean the unit every 3 days.

Warning:

• A: Ensure the water tank, water filter, and water separator pipe are not blocked. Clean them regularly.
• B: Water temperature affects ice-making capacity; lower temperatures produce more ice.
• C: Cooler ambient temperatures produce more ice.
• D: Always use good quality water to ensure the pump works well. Poor quality water may cause pump noise but does not affect unit operation.
• E: The compressor restarts 3 minutes after being turned off.
