BEFORE USE
Before connecting the power cord, please put the machine upright for 24 hours
to allow the refrigerant to settle. Unpack all packaging materials: foam,
bags, tape, etc. The machine should be placed on a stable level to support the
weight of the ice machine and its contents. This machine can be installed
without any support and can be installed in any place that meets the
conditions of use and power. Use a machine in a place that is well ventilated
and has a temperature between 10°C and 40°C. Do not install or operate the
machine in a sealed space, such as a closed room. To ensure long-term use of
the machine, use filtered or potable water; or use citric acid every other
week to clean the outside of the machine and the dust deposits on the bottom
of the tank.
USE
When using for the first time (or not used for a long time), it is recommended to discard the ice cubes made in the first 4 cycles to ensure that the machine is thoroughly cleaned. Insert the plug into a wall socket. Open the front cover, take out the ice basket (1), and pour potable water into the water tank (3) (Do not exceed the MAX water level mark). Put back the ice basket (1). Make sure the water level is below the bottom of the ice basket (1), and then close the front cover. After plugging it in, the machine is in standby mode with the “POWER” indicator (F) flashing green and the “SMALL” indicator (A) will light up green. Press the “ON/OFF” button (D) once, the appliance will start working in small ice cube mode by default, and the “SMALL“ indicator (A) will light up green. During the ice making cycle, press the “SELECT” button (E) to switch to large ice cube mode; the “LARGE” indicator (B) will light up green. The appliance has a power-off memory function. The previously running mode before power-off will be automatically resumed when powering on. During the ice making cycle, press the “ON/OFF” button (D) once, the appliance will stop working and the “POWER indicator (F) will flash green. In the standby mode, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button (D) for 5 seconds, the appliance will enter self-cleaning mode, and the “CLEAN” indicator (C) will light up red. After 15 minutes, the appliance switches to standby mode, and the “POWER” indicator (F) will flash green. When the ice basket is full, the machine will stop automatically and stand by. The ice maker can partially block heat and store ice temporarily but cannot be used as a freezer. Please remove ice cubes as needed and add water to ensure the machine works normally. When the ice box is full, the “ICE FULL” indicator (H) will light up red, and the machine will stop automatically. When the ice is removed, the machine will restart. If the water level is too low, the “ADD WATER” indicator (G) will light up red and the ice maker will stop working. After refilling, press the “ON/OFF” button (D) to restart. When you do not use the ice maker, please turn off the machine and unplug the power cord.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning and correct maintenance will ensure the working efficiency and prolong the working life of the ice maker. Turn off the power and pull out the plug before cleaning. Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents, which may damage the machine or cause retention of harmful substances. Do not rinse the outside of the machine directly with water, but wipe with a wet cloth instead. Dry the inside and outside of the machine with a soft and clean cloth. Check regularly whether the drain plug is loose to prevent leakage. Clean it after first use or after being left idle for a long time. Disinfection solution: Water and vinegar or citric acid (ratio: 10:1) Wipe the interior with a neutral cleaning agent, including the hand-touchable evaporator (icing column) Add potable water, run the ice maker, and discard the ice cubes produced in the first four cycles. Then remove the remaining water from the drain and reinstall the drain plug under the bottom of the appliance, to ensure that the plug is in place. Use a clean, soft cloth to clean the remaining watermarks. If the ice maker is not used for a long time, cut off the power supply and remove the remaining water from the drainage outlet. Dry the interior with a clean, soft cloth. If the ice has a strange taste, or if the ice has an unpleasant or mildewy odor in the machine, refer to the steps above to clean the inside of the machine. It is forbidden to clean the ice machine with flammable liquids. Failure to com-ply might result in fire or explosion.
