Before First Use
- Unpack the appliance and check that all accessories, including the ice basket and ice scoop, are complete. Contact the client service department if any accessories are missing.
- Ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid malfunction.
- The incline angle of the ice maker cabinet should not exceed 45° during transportation or use. Do not turn the ice maker upside down, as this could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. Allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle after the ice maker is moved or transported. Before using the ice maker for the first time, wait for 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned properly.
- The appliance must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters, and corrosive gases. Leave about a 6-inch (15cm) clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
- Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water, as this may damage the ice maker. It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.
- Do not use the appliance in a cold environment (lower than 5°C).
- Clean the appliance by following the operation of "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" before operating.
Using Your Ice Maker
- Ensure that the drain plug at the bottom of the water reservoir is closed securely.
- Plug the ice maker into the wall outlet; the [Power Indicator] will blink.
NOTE: Please rest the ice maker for 30 minutes before plugging if it has been moved. - Open the top lid and remove the ice basket.
- WARNING: Fill the water reservoir with potable water only.
NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX water level mark. - Replace the ice basket and close the top lid.
- Press the [SELECT Button] to select the ice size: [Small Ice Indicator] means small ice, while [Large Ice Indicator] means large ice.
- Press the [ON/OFF Button]; the [Power Indicator] will light solidly.
- The ice-making cycle will last approximately 7-15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.
- The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice tray situated below the evaporator. Over the next 7-15 minutes, ice forms on the evaporator. Once this has completed, the ice tray will tilt backwards, and the remaining water in the ice tray drains back into the water reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel. The ice tray will automatically move back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.
- The [Ice Full Indicator] will light up when the ice basket is full, and the ice maker will stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. After about 5 seconds, the ice maker will restart its ice-making function automatically.
- The [Water Level Indicator] will light up when the water reservoir is low on water, and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. At that time, remove the ice basket, add water to the water reservoir, and then press the [ON/OFF Button] again to restart the ice-making cycle. The [Water Level Indicator] will not light up if the Ice Maker is operated continuously with sufficient water.
- When you have obtained the desired amount of ice, stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the [ON/OFF Button] and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
- Open the top lid and transfer the ice to a freezer.
NOTE: The ice will last in the ice maker for up to 18 hours, depending on the ambient temperature. - Allow the ice maker to warm up to room temperature.
- It is suggested to replace the water every week. Please empty the water reservoir if the ice maker is not used for a long time.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker looking great, cleaning is recommended at least once per week.
- Stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the [ON/OFF Button], unplug the ice maker from the wall outlet, and allow it to warm up to room temperature.
- If residual water is found in the ice tray, gently push the ice tray back so that all water drains into the water reservoir.
- Move the appliance forward 60mm away from the working table and open the drain plug to drain out excess water (see Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3).
- Check and ensure the drain plug is closed securely. Fill the water reservoir with clean water, press the [SELECT Button] until the [Clean Indicator] flashes, then press the [ON/OFF Button]. The pump will start pumping water and run for 6 minutes, then enter standby. Finally, open the drain plug and empty the water.
- Remove the ice basket.
- Clean the ice maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar, then rinse with clean water and drain all the water.
- Replace the drain plug securely. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
- Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing soap, if necessary.
- NOTE: Do not use organic solvents, boiled water, detergent, strong acid, or strong alkali for cleaning.
- Please empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage if the ice maker is not used for a long time.

Troubleshooting
Problem | Possible Causes | Solution |
---|---|---|
[Water Level Indicator] turns on |
|
|
[Ice Full Indicator] lights up |
|
|
[Ice Full Indicator] blinks | The ice shovel is blocked. | Please remove the ice if the ice shovel is blocked by ice; otherwise, call customer service for consultation. |
The ice maker stops working. | The ice tray is not in the right position. |
|
The ice basket is full but the [Ice Full Indicator] does not illuminate. | The "ice full" condition cannot be detected as the infrared light module is interfered by sunlight. | Unplug the appliance and move it to a place not exposed to sunlight, then plug the appliance in and activate it again. |
The ice collects together. | Making ice takes too much time. | Stop making ice and restart the ice-making cycle after the ice melts. |
(No specific problem listed, but related to ice collection) | The water in the water reservoir is of too low temperature. | Fill the water reservoir with water ranging between 8°C and 25°C. |
The ice-making cycle seems normal but no ice is produced. | The ambient temperature or water temperature is too high. | Start the ice-making cycle in an environment with an ambient temperature less than 32°C and fill the water reservoir with some cold water. |
Poor ice-making result | Refrigerating system leaks. | Call customer service. |
(Implicitly, Poor ice-making result) | Refrigerating system blocks. | Call customer service. |
