USING YOUR ICE MAKER

Operation panel and display area

1. Remove the cover of the water reservoir and pour potable water into water reservoir. And be sure to keep water level below the max. level with FULL mark displayed in following picture.
   
   Warning:  Do not pour the water into the internal water tank located underneath the ice basket. This tank is not big enough and will affect the ice making performance.

2. How to turn on the unit: Plug the unit in, electric power symbol < > will start to flash, and the present ambient temperature will display at top left corner of the displaying window, for example, “80F” letter means the 80 Fahrenheit ambient. Again, press the   button to start the unit, first the water will flow into the water tank to the standard water level, then the compressor starts to run to make ice-cube, at same time, power symbol < > will change to display always and ice-cube symbol < > will be rotating state, the ambient temperature display will disappear. After some minutes of ice-making duration, the flashing digit will display in the ambient temperature displaying area, for example, the flashing digit “10M” means that it will take 10 minutes to complete this time ice-making process.

3. When ice maker harvest, symbol < > flash, the water will flow from top water reservoir to bottom water tank through solenoid valve, the symbol < > will be on, when the water in the bottom water tank is full, the symbol < > will be off, then the next ice making cycle start again. When there is no water in the water reservoir, the symbol < > will keep on. Turn off the unit and fill water again, then restart the unit to make ice cube. Or fill water directly and wait 20mins, the unit will restart.
   Remark:  The ice making cycle lasts about 13 to 25 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. And for the first time, according to the initial water temperature, ice-making last time will be a little longer. In the extreme hot room temperature, ice-making time may vary a lot, but it will not exceed 35 minutes.
   If you think the ice cube is not thick enough, during ice making, press the<+>and<->to set the ice making lead time. Press one time and the ice making cycle will increaseor reduce one min, 6min most. This can only start from the new cycle.

4. When Ice Full symbol < > is on, the unit will stop, take out the ice cube inside, the unit will start working again.
   If press the   button more than 5s, when the ice maker is working, the unit will start harvest. Press button   the unit will turn off.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.

• Take out the ice basket.
• Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.
• Then use the water to rinse the inside parts, and drain out the water from the draining port by unplugging the Water drainage cap on the bottom.
• The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
• When the machine is not in use for a long time, open the water drain cap to drain water completely out from the water reservoir.

After using your ice maker for a long time, we also suggest you should clean your unit.  Especially to the water separator pipe and the water filters, you must clean them periodically.

1. If the water separator pipe is blocked and there is no water flowing down when you listen the compressor and the water pump inside are still working, please turn off the unit first and disassemble this pipe down, and clean it. Clean each hole on the pipe wall displayed in following picture.
   After cleaning, install back the water separator pipe and be sure the right terminal of the pipe connects to the silicone pipe well.
   

2. For both of the water tank and the water reservoir, clean them with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse inside, and drain out the water from the draining port by unplugging the water drainage cap on the bottom. It will help you keep the unit and ice-cube hygienic, and also make the unit work normally.

3. When cleaning, if you find that ice cubes are left on the evaporator and cannot be taken out easily, you can turn on the unit to let the unit enter the ice making process, then press   button for more than 5 seconds to let the unit start ice harvest process to melt the ice cube. It will help you remove the hard ice cube.

How to drain out the water from the internal tank and water reservoir completely
To drain the water reservoir, use the drain port by the water valve. If you want to drain away all the water, please plug on the unit, but don’t start the unit, then remove the water drainage cap at the bottom. Wait some minutes, then all of the water will flow out.

Cancel the self-cleaning program:  It takes about 20 minutes to complete one selfcleaning cycle. When the program is over, the system will be off automatically. You can press the button on control panel to   cancel the self cleaning program by force.

Warning
A.  Make sure the water tank, water filter and the water separator pipe are not blocked, clean them.
B.  The water temp will affect the ice making capacity. The lower temp, the more ice cubes will be produced.
C.  The cooler the ambient temp, the more ice cubes are produced.
D.  Always use good quality water to make sure the pump work well. Bad quality water will cause pump to make noise, but doesn’t affect the unit from working.
E.  The compressor will restart 3 mins later if you turn off the unit.
