Preparing Your Ice Maker for Use

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons or property. Read all instructions before using any appliance.

• Do not operate this or any other appliance with a damaged cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
• Position the ice maker so that the plug is accessible. Connect to properly polarized outlets only. No other appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the receptacle.
• Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the cord. Keep cord away from traffic areas, and do not submerge in water.
• Extension cords are not recommended as they may overheat and become a risk of fire. If an extension cord must be used, use No.14AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 watts.
• Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or making any repairs or servicing.
• Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when the appliance is used near children.
• Do not use your ice maker outdoors. Place the ice maker away from direct sunlight and ensure at least 4 inches of space between the back of your unit and the wall. Keep a minimum distance of 4 inches on each side of your unit free.
• Do not use any liquid other than water to make ice cubes.
• Do not clean your ice maker with flammable fluids, as the fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not tip over the unit.
• If the ice maker is brought in from outside in wintertime, allow it a few hours to warm up to room temperature before plugging it in.

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

DANGER: Risk Of Fire or Explosion. Flammable Refrigerant Used. Do Not Use Mechanical Devices To Defrost Ice Maker. Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.

DANGER: Risk Of Fire Or Explosion. Flammable Refrigerant Used. To Be Repaired Only By Trained Service Personnel. Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.

[Diagram Description: An illustration shows two views of the ice maker. The left view shows the exterior with labels pointing to the top cover, air exhausting vent, and water drain cap. The right view shows the interior with labels pointing to the evaporator, ice scoop, ice full sensor, ice basket, back top panel, and the maximum water level mark.]

Operating Procedures & Maintenance

Control Panel Functions:

The control panel is easy to use with visible touch display settings:

• A. Selected ice size displaying: Small and Large.
• B. Power indicator
• C. Ice-Full indicator
• D. Water shortage indicator
• E. ON/OFF button: Turns the unit on or off.
• F. SELECT button: Selects the ice cube size.

[Diagram Description: A close-up view of the ice maker's control panel with labels A through F pointing to specific buttons and indicators: "ADD WATER" (D), "ICE FULL" (C), "POWER" (B), ON/OFF/CLEAN (E), and SELECT (F) with "S" and "L" for size selection.]

To start the self-cleaning program: Plug in the unit, then press and hold the "ON/OFF" button for more than 5 seconds to enter the self-cleaning program. The self-cleaning program requires approximately 30 minutes. When the program is over, please drain out the water and clean inside.

Unpacking Your Ice Maker

1. Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Check if the ice basket and ice scoop are inside. If any parts are missing, please contact customer service.
2. Remove the tapes for fixing the ice shovel, ice basket & ice scoop. Clean the tank & ice basket.
3. Place the ice maker on a level & flat countertop without direct sunlight and other sources of heat (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator). Ensure at least 4 inches gap between the back & LH/RH sides and the wall.
4. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the ice maker in.
5. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

WARNING: Fill with potable water only. Use only drinking water.

Connecting Your Ice Maker

⚠️ Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, please call customer service.

DANGER: This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.

1. Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet.
2. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.
3. This appliance requires a standard 110-120 volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with a three-prong ground.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Ice Maker

Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it 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 out the water by unplugging the drain cap on the front bottom side.
4. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a clean soft cloth.
6. When the machine is not to be used for a long time, drain water completely & dry the interior.

Using Your Ice Maker

1. Open the cover, remove the ice basket, and pour water into the tank. Keep water level below the water level mark.
2. Press the "ON/OFF" button on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle.
3. Select the ice cube size by pressing the "SELECT" button. If the room temperature is lower than 60°F (15.5°C), it is recommended to select small ice cubes to avoid ice sticking together.
4. The ice making cycle lasts approximately 6 to 13 minutes, depending on the selected ice cube size and the room temperature. The recommended room temperature is 50°F to 105°F (10°C to 40.5°C).
5. If the water pump can't inject water, the ice maker will stop automatically, and the "ADD WATER" indicator will be on. Press "ON/OFF" button, fill water up to the max. water level mark and press "ON/OFF" button again to turn on the unit. Allow the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before restarting.
6. The ice maker stops when the ice basket is full and the "ICE FULL" indicator will be on. Warning: Direct sunlight or sunlight reflection may cause infrared sensor malfunction. If the unit doesn't stop even if ice cubes obstruct the sensor, move the unit where there is no sunlight.
7. Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level.
8. If the unit isn't to be used, drain all the water and dry the tank.
