Installation
- Remove the appliance from the packaging and remove the protective film from all surfaces.
- Remove the Ice Spoon, Water Inlet Tube, Water Drainage Pipe and Sealing Washers from the ice storage cabinet.
- Place the device on an even and safe surface which supports the weight of the device.
- Choose a surface where the ice maker is not exposed to direct sunlight, or close to a direct source of heat such as a cooker, oven or radiator.
- When positioning the ice maker, please keep a space behind the machine to make sure that you can easily connect the water inlet pipe and the water drain pipe. If the machine has an air cooling system, please maintain a distance of 20cm (7 inches) between the appliance and walls or other objects for ventilation. Increase this distance if the obstacle is a heat source.
- Position the device in a way so that the power plug is always accessible.
- Set up the device near a water supply connection.
- If necessary, adjust the screw legs of the ice maker to make it level. The efficiency of the ice maker can be reduced if the appliance is unevenly located.
- Fully insert one end of the Water Drainage Pipe to the water outlet connector on the rear of the ice maker. Make sure it is tightened.
- Insert the other end of the drain pipe into the drainage pipeline. Notice: Never bend the drain pipe upwards to ensure good drainage. You can cut out some of the pipes if the drain pipe is too long.
11. Prepare for the water inlet unit which with the water filter:
- Make sure the water tap has a 3/4" outside screw.
- Full press the fast connector into pipes of the water filter. The components are: 1. Water pipe; 2. Fast connector; 3. Filter in or out pipe; 4. Water filter.
- Connect one end of the Water Inlet Tube to the 3/4" screw type connector of the water tap to get drinkable tap water. Be sure to put sealing washers in both ends of the water inlet tube before connecting.
- Connect the other end of the inlet tube to the water inlet connector of the machine.
- Check for water leaks: After finishing the water pipe connection, please open the water tap to check the water inlet pipe. Make sure there are no water leaks.
- Check water drainage: Ensure the power socket has the correct power supply indicated on the product nameplate. Connect the device's power plug to a grounded single power socket, fully open the water tap, and switch on the power switch on the machine. The cooling system will work. Water will push through the cooling condenser. Please check the water drainage pipe for more than one minute, make sure it has no water leaking and no water is full out from your water drainage pipeline. (If the machine is not a water cooling system, but an air cooling system, please pour some water into the ice storage bin to check the water drain pipe; the water should be drained away from the bin.)
SPECIAL GUIDANCE FOR WATER DRAINAGE PIPE CONNECTING.
Please refer to the following picture when connecting the water drainage pipe. The correct connection is shown below:
Diagram Description: The diagram shows the connection of the drain pipe. Key elements are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Element 1 is the power cable, 2 is the water inlet connector, 3 is the water drainage pipe, and 4 is the floor drain. The connection requires the drain pipe (3) to be positioned such that its end is at least 150mm (H≥150mm) above the floor drain (4). The floor drain is labeled as 5 in the diagram.

For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service, or the shop where you purchased the product.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
- Warm, soapy water is recommended for cleaning. Cleaning agents may leave harmful residues.
- DO NOT wash the base unit; instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Check regularly the connectors of the water inlet and outlet tubes and drain any surplus water that may leak.
- If the ice maker will be unused for a long period, please switch off the power switch and wipe the inner liner of the ice storage container with a clean rag.
- When plugging or unplugging, the plug should be held by hand, and the wires should not be dragged heavily.
- Clean the water tank if it has not been used for 48 hours; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
Operation
Notice: The product must be standing static for less than 24 hours before being switched on!
Note: If using the ice maker for the first time (or after a period of inactivity), please discard the first two batches of ice. Then clean the internal systems of the ice maker.
- Connect the device to a grounded single power socket. Notice: Must check the rated current which is marked on the nameplate. The wires connecting in the power socket cross-section area (mm²) must conform to the following list: [List not provided in OCR].
- Press the Power switch to the ON position [I]. The switch light illuminates, and the appliance starts to work. The first 5 minutes are used for the self-inspection of the ice maker, then it will begin the ice-making process.
- As soon as the ice storage cabinet is full, the "ICE FULL" indicator on the display panel will light on, and the ice maker will stop automatically. Production resumes once ice has been removed from the cabinet.
- If water supply is insufficient, the "WATER LOW" indicator will light on, and the ice maker will stop operation automatically.
- If any error or failure occurs, the "FAULT" indicator will light on, and the ice production stops.
- Switch off the device and disconnect it from the power supply (Pull the power plug!) when it is not in use.
- Do not switch on the device immediately after it stops automatically (caused by insufficient water supply, ice storage cabinet too full, current interruption). Wait at least 3-5 minutes before restarting it to avoid damage to the compressor.
NOTE: If the device is not used for a longer period, drain the water from the water tank via the drain screw at the back of the device (some models have no drain screw). Wipe dry the water tank using a dry cloth.
