OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ICE-MAKING:

1. After all the water hoses are hooked up, then plug in the power supply.
2. Click On/Off button to start the machine, then the compressor will start to run about 3 minutes to pre-cooling. Then click button to adjust the time of ice making to get the different thicknesses of ice. The adjusted ice-making time will be reflected in the next round of ice-making. (Please refer to page 13 for the ice-making time range.)
3. After 3 minutes, the water pump in the ice maker start working, ice making begins. During the ice-making process, the water pump will last running, and the water will flow down from the top of the ice tray.
4. When the ice is made, it will take about 3.5 minutes to peel off the ice. Remember to separate the ice with a shovel, otherwise the ice machine may indicate ice full when the ice bin only holds half of the ice .
   (Note: you must wait for the water shortage indicator to go out before you can make ice.)

ICE-HARVEST:
During the ice-harvest process, the ice tray will be heated for about 3.5 minutes, then the ice will fall off. When each batch of ice falls off to the ice bin, the ice may not be completely separated. I suggest you use the ice shovel to separate the ice to hold more ice. When the ice falls, the flap will be flipped, and then the flap will reset due to its own weight, then the machine starts to make the next round of ice. When the ice bin holds a lot of ice, the flap will be pressed by the ice and cannot be reset. At this time, the ice full indicator will light up, and the ice maker will stop making ice to prevent too much ice from being made.

FORCE ICE-HARVEST:
During the ice making process, click the ice-harvest button , the unit will enter the ice-harvest program in advance and will continue to run the next ice-making round after the ice falls into the ice bin.

HOW TO SET 24H TIMING?
Auto startup timing: Do not turn on the ice maker after plugging in the power supply, click the timer button. The number on the LED screen will change from temperature to time and flash. At this time, you can click the and buttons to set the automatic start-up time.

Auto shutdown timing: When the ice maker is working, click the timer button. The number on the LED screen will change from ice-making time to timer time and flash. At this time, you can click the buttons to set the automatic start-up time.

TIMING EXPLANATION: For example, the current time is 1:00 p.m. When you set the timing of 10 hours, Then the auto startup/shutdown time of the ice machine is 11:00 p.m.

CLEANING FUNCTION:
After turn on the ice maker, hook up the clean water. Click the button. The ice machine will automatically start cleaning the internal pipes, ice tray, etc. It will stop after 10 minutes. After the cleaning program is finished, please pull out the sewage plug and drain the sewage. Please place a container to collect sewage at the sewage outlet to prevent water from splashing on the ground.

BLUE LIGHT:

• Click the blue light   button, it will light up inside the ice maker.

NOTE:

1. When each batch of ice falls off to the ice bin, we suggest you use an ice shovel to shovel them into 45 small ice cubes to let the ice bin hold more ice.
2. We suggest you keep the produced ice cubes in ice bags and put them in the freezer to prevent melting.
3. When the ambient temperature is high, we suggest you increase the ice making time to prevent the ice from being too thin. When the ambient temperature is low, we suggest you reduce the ice making time to prevent the ice from being too thick. There is no accurate data, please adjust it in the actual production process. The quality of ice cubes made in the first 3 rounds after startup may not be very good. Please let it make several more rounds of ice cubes.

ATTENTION: The adjusted ice making time will be reflected in the next round.
