Basic Structure and Parts

The machine consists of various components:

Basic Structure Diagram Description: The diagram shows an exploded view of the ice machine. Key components include the top panel, insulation board, front panel, door panel, door frame, control panel, compressor, condenser, fan, water tank, electrical box, and machine feet, among others.

Parts List:

Notice to All Users

1. Use the standard pre-purified water filter and replace the filter element regularly for food hygiene and to reduce failures caused by water scale.
2. For the first time of making ice, due to high inlet water temperature, it may take longer to reduce water temperature in the tank. After one or two cycles, the temperature will drop to 1-3°C, and the machine will enter normal ice-making cycle.
3. At least every quarter (or monthly in areas with poor water quality), descale water circulation pipes and ice-making components to reduce failures or inefficient ice-making. Cleaning typically takes 5-30 minutes. If yellow scale is visible on the evaporator, stop cleaning. Food-grade descaling agent or diluted citric acid (20%) can be used. Follow cleaning mode, and use a brush to wipe scale. Rinse thoroughly with clean water internally and externally at least 3 times to ensure food safety and prevent corrosion.
4. Ambient temperature significantly influences ice-making speed and life cycle. Operate the equipment within an ambient temperature of 15-35°C. Ensure at least 30cm clearance around and above the machine for ventilation.
5. Quarterly, unplug the power supply, open the front panel, and use compressed air with a soft brush to remove dust from the condenser surface for optimal performance.
6. Ensure the power supply voltage is stable and the socket is reliably grounded for safety.
7. Non-professionals are not allowed to perform maintenance or repairs involving internal components. All maintenance must be done with the equipment completely powered off.

Installation and Packing List

Installation Steps:

A. Take out the inlet pipe, filter, filter connecting pipe, and drainage pipe accessories from the accessory box (corresponding to item numbers 1/3/4#).

B. Install the filter element and water faucet: Use two 2-way PE pipes into each end of the filter (observe arrow direction). Connect the inlet pipe of the ice maker to the filter element using a 3/4" connector. Connect the drinking water connection end using a 1/2" connector.

C. Take out the water inlet pipe, filter, and drain pipe from the accessory box. Connect them to the main unit water inlet pipe and drain outlet to the floor drain as shown in the diagrams.

Whole Machine Drainage Installation Notes:

1. Gravity Drainage: Combine the drainage pipes of the main unit and ice storage bin, and connect them to the floor drain together.
2. Electric Drainage: Connect the drainage pipes of the main unit and ice storage bin to an electric water pump. This pump requires a separate power supply.

Diagrams Description:

• Gravity Drainage Diagram: Shows the ice maker and ice storage bin connected via drainage pipes to a floor drain.
• Electric Drainage Diagram: Shows the ice maker and ice storage bin connected via drainage pipes to an electric water pump, which then connects to a floor drain. The pump has intake and outlet ports.

Technical Specifications:

Note: Refer to the product manual for detailed information. Some models do not include drainage pumps.

Daily Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Clearance of Side Panels and Inner Container:
• A. Before cleaning, remove ice blocks from the ice cabinet and ensure the power and water sources are cut off.
• B. Clean side panels and the inner container with clean water, optionally with a neutral detergent. Wipe the machine with a soft towel.
• Attention: Do not spray water directly onto the machine. Alkaline detergent, perfumed soap, lapping powder, boiling water, banana oil, tolperison, and most organic solvents cannot be used for cleaning.
2. Dust Removal of the Filter Screen: Clean dust from the filter screen every three months. Open the ventilation fence, grasp and pull out the frame carefully. Use a dust collector or brush to clean the dust. Do not use sharp metal tools on the condenser to avoid damaging radiating fins.
3. Cleaning the Spray Water Pipe:
• A. Clean the ice maker's spray water pipe once every half a year. Open the front cover, remove the spray pipe, and clean all holes until unblocked. Reinstall after cleaning.
• C. After washing, unscrew the drain-valve cap to drain dirty water, then tighten the cap.
4. Automatically Cleaning of the Ice Maker:
• When the machine is making ice, press the "clean" key on the rear electrical box. The refrigeration system will stop, and the machine will enter an auto-wash process (wash, agitate, drain) lasting about 30 minutes. A neutral detergent can be added to improve cleaning. The machine will return to ice-making condition automatically after washing.
• A. Usually, the machine is connected to the power source continually. Upon initial connection, a cleaning process occurs after the water sink is full (water supply -> pump works -> pump works & drain valve opens -> water supply -> pump works -> pump works & drain valve opens -> pressure balance). This takes about 5 minutes and occurs once every 30 ice-making cycles. A drain process occurs after every four ice-making cycles.
• B. After washing, check the float ball's position. If it's at the bottom and the machine is on, it's normal (pressure balance process, water level controlled automatically). If the float ball is at the upper position and the machine stops, there may be issues with the water level sensor, water pump, or drain valve.

Point: The water-filter core is a consumable item and not covered by the guarantee. Contact the marketing department for replacements.

5. Procedure for Long Periods of Non-Use:
• A. Turn off the power switch, unplug the machine, and cut off the power and water supply.
• B. Remove ice blocks from the cabinet and wipe out any water inside.
• C. Wipe the cabinet, open the door, and allow the cabinet to dry completely.
