03 Using Your Ice Maker

Getting Started

1. Locate and Clean: Locate upright on a flat, level surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on the sides and back. Clean the tank, ice bin and ice scoop, then settle for at least 2 hours before first use.
2. Add Water Manually: Open the front door and pull the ice bin out. Fill the water tank with potable water below MAX line. Place the ice bin back and close the door.

   Recommended water type: distilled or demineralized water (hardness < 12 grains per gallon) at 40-82°F.

3. Start Making Ice: Plug into a properly installed grounded outlet, then press [Power] button to start ice making cycle. It will keep making ice until the ice bin is full.
4. Scoop Ice Out: The ice maker will start to produce ice in 15 minutes. Scoop the ice cubes out once made. Put in use or store in freezer to avoid melting.

   If the ice bin is placed back in 5mins, the ice maker will continue making ice.

❗ Make sure the drain plug is firmly inserted before use.

❗ The ice maker will stop making ice when the ice bin has been pulled out for more than 5mins. Once pulled out, remember to place it back within 5 mins to continue the ice making cycle.

04 Cleaning and Maintenance

Automatic Refilling

❗ To add water automatically, connect the included hose to the water supply system as instructed. An adapter (not included) may be required as per the type of water supply system in your home.

❗ To avoid overflow of water, do not add water manually when the ice maker is already connected to the water supply system.

Insert the Hose

• Fully insert the included hose into the water inlet till the end is reached.
• To remove, hold against the gray ring and pull out.

Connect with Water Supply System

• Connect the other end with water supply system. A 1/4" connector may be required.
• It is recommended to connect with water filtration system to avoid blockage by scale or mineral build-up.

Self-Cleaning

❗ To keep your nugget ice tasting fresh, we recommend that you carry out self-cleaning at least once every 1 to 2 weeks.

1. Fill the tank with water below MAX line or connect with water supply system.
2. Hold [CLEAN] for 3s to start a self-cleaning cycle. The ice maker auto cleans for the first 3mins ([CLEAN] stays on). After 3mins, [CLEAN] will flash quickly for 5mins to confirm whether to deep clean the unit. If yes, press [CLEAN] to confirm. If no operations is done in 5mins, the cleaning cycle will stop automatically.
3. Once completed, [CLEAN] will turn off.
4. Unhook the drainpipe and lay down to a sink.
5. To resume ice making, press [Power] again.

Regular Cleaning

1. Unplug and take out the ice bin. Remove the water filter on the right corner of the tank.
2. Rinse clean the ice bin and water filter with diluted detergent and warm water.
3. Clean the water tank with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. Add water to rinse and drain out the water.
4. Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.

To remove the fallen dirt or fibers, we recommend cleaning the ice bin and water tank once a week. Unplug before cleaning.

Removal of Scale / Mineral Build-up

1. Fill the water tank with warm water (around 90°F) below MAX line.
2. Add in distilled white vinegar or ice maker cleaner. Set aside for at least 18 hours.
3. Hold [CLEAN] for 3s to start self-cleaning cycle. If [CLEAN] flashes, press [CLEAN] to continue. Repeat for at least 3 cleaning cycles.
4. Drain the mixture and continue running 3 cleaning cycles with fresh water for each rinse.

For scale or mineral build-up, follow the directions to deep clean periodically or when needed. Do not clean with solvents or chemicals.

When not in use for an extended period of time, drain the water tank and clean as instructed. Cover and store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting Guide

The troubleshooting guide addresses the most common problems. If problems persist, feel free to contact the Customer Support at contact@oraimo.com

Normal Ice Making Noise

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls, and countertops can amplify these sounds. The following describes the sounds and the causes.

• WHIR: When the ice maker is turned on for the first time, you may notice the condenser fan spinning.
• BUZZ: When the water pump turns on for the first time, it may be dry and slightly noisy. Once filled with water, the noise reduces significantly.
• RATTLE: Rattling noises may be produced from the flow of the refrigerant. These noises should reduce significantly once the refrigerant system has stabilized.
• GURGLE: When the refrigerant system shuts off, there may be a brief gurgle as the refrigerant stops flowing.
• HUM: The compressor is a motor. It produces a low toned humming sound while it is running.
• CLICK: As nugget ice is produced, it drops into the ice drawer. The first nuggets produced are the loudest, as they impact the bottom of the ice bin. As the bin fills, this noise reduces significantly.
• SQUEAK: When the ice maker is in need of defrosting, it may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The defost cycle is automatic, and may take 30-45 minutes. During this time, the front button won't respond. More frequent squeaking usually requires white vinegar cleaning to remove internal mineral scale buildup.
