M-ICE Series Accessories

Ice Spoon, Water Inlet Tube, Water Drainage Pipe, Sealing Washer

Installation

1. Remove the Ice Spoon, Water Inlet Tube, Water Drainage Pipe and Sealing Washers from the ice storage cabinet. (does not apply for M-ICE 15)
2. 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.
3. When placing the ice maker, make sure the power cable is accessible at all times.
4. When positioning the Ice Maker, maintain a distance of 10cm (4 inches) between the appliance and walls or other objects for ventilation. Increase this distance if the obstacle is a heat source.
5. If necessary, adjust the screw legs to level the machine. The Ice Maker may operate less efficiently if not level.
6. Set up the device near a water supply connection. (does not apply for M-ICE 15)
7. Connect one end of the water drainage pipe to the water outlet at the rear of the Ice Maker. Attach the other end of the pipe to a water sewage pipe or container suitable for collecting wastewater. (does not apply for M-ICE 15)
8. Connect one end of the water inlet tube to the machine and the other end to your fresh water supply. Make sure to put sealing washers in both ends of the tube before connecting them. (does not apply for M-ICE 15)
9. After placement, leave the appliance in its current position for at least an hour to let the refrigerant precipitate. After this period, plug in the power cable.
10. When the appliance is moved to another location, it needs time to acclimatize (the appliance needs to adjust to the change in temperature). Allow the appliance to do so for several hours. The ambient temperature should not be below 6 °C.

SPECIAL GUIDANCE FOR WATER DRAINAGE PIPE CONNECTING

Please refer to the following picture when you are connecting the water drainage pipe.

The correct connection is shown below:

Keep the drain connector 150mm above the floor drain.

The incorrect connection is shown below:

The water drainage pipe cannot be upward bent or curved! Make sure to keep it beneath the drain.

Do not downwarp the drainage pipe (showing like this picture). Make sure the whole pipe is above the floor.

Operation

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:

• Plug the power plug into the main socket.
• Use the "ON/OFF” button, located on the control panel at the front of the appliance, to start the appliance. The red indicator will light up, and the production of ice cubes will begin. The first time the machine is switched on, it will perform a self-inspection, which will take approximately 5 minutes.
• The "RUN" indicator will not immediately light up when you switch on the machine for the first time; it will light up when the compressor is operational.
• Remove the ice basket and fill the water reservoir until it reaches the “MAX” marker. (M-ICE 15 only)
• Choose the ice cube size using the “Select” button. The indicators on the control panel will display which size is selected: "S" (small), “M” (medium), “L” (large). (M-ICE 15 only)
• ATTENTION: When using the Ice Maker for the first time (or after a long period of inactivity), please discard the first two batches of ice. This process will clean the internal system and ensure clean ice cubes.
• As soon as the ice storage container is full, the “ICE FULL” indicator on the display panel will light up, and the ice maker will stop automatically. Production resumes once ice has been removed from the container.
• To remove the ice cubes, take out the ice basket. Remember to place it back in the original position. (M-ICE 15 only)
• ATTENTION! If the water supply is insufficient, the “WATER LOW” indicator will light up, and the ice maker will stop operation automatically. Check the water inlet or reservoir.
• To drain the water, remove the drain plug located underneath the appliance. (M-ICE 15 only)
• ATTENTION! In the event of an error, the indicator “Fault” lights up, and the machine will switch off automatically.
• ATTENTION! Do not activate the machine immediately after it has turned off automatically. Wait 3-5 minutes to prevent damage to the compressor.
• When the appliance is not being used, turn off the machine by pressing the 'On/Off' button on the control panel.
• If the appliance will not be used for a longer period, please remove the plug from the main socket. Remove the water from the reservoir using the drain located at the back of the appliance. Completely dry the water reservoir using a dry towel.
