FEATURES OF YOUR ICE MAKER

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ICE MAKER

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Ice Maker. Before first using your new Ice Maker, it is most important that you read and follow the instructions in this use and care booklet, even if you feel you are familiar with this type of appliance.

Your attention is drawn particularly to the section dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. Find a safe and convenient place to keep this booklet handy for future reference.

This appliance has been designed to operate from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not intended for industrial or commercial use.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Before first use
WARNING

• * During transportation, do not tilt the appliance for more than 45 degrees, do not reverse the appliance. This may damage the compressor and the sealing system.

  • Do not use chemicals, acidic or alkaline liquids to make ice.

1. Remove all packing materials, check the appliance carefully and make sure that the appliance, power cord and plug are not damaged.
2. The appliance should be placed on a level surface. To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance from the back of the ice maker to the wall should be at least 150mm. The appliance should be kept away from ovens, radiators or other heat sources.
3. Before using the appliance for the first time, position it and leave the lid open for at least two hours.
4. Make sure that the home voltage is consistent with the voltage indicated by the appliance.

**Control Panel

ICE FULL: Illuminate when the ice basket is full
ADD WATER:** Illuminate when the water in the reservoir is insufficient

OPERATION

1. Make sure that the drain plug at the bottom of the water reservoir is closed well.

2. Plug in the ice maker and the appliance is in the standby mode.
   The “LARGE” indicator flashes in green.

3. Open the top lid and take out the ice basket.

4. Fill the water reservoir with drinking water at temperature between 8-25°C, Max. capacity of water reservoir is 1L.

   The corresponding indicator light will light up. Then press the “Start/Stop button” to start operation. A typical ice-making cycle takes approximately 10 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.

   • An ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice basket situated below the evaporator. During the cycle, the bullet ice cubes will form on the evaporator.
   • Once the bullet ice cubes are formed, the Ice tray will tilt backwards and the remaining water will be drained back into the water reservoir.
   • The bullet ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel board.
   • The Ice tray will automatically move back to the position under the evaporator. Then the next cycle will begin.

7. Observe through the transparent window. When there is a desired amount of ice cubes, press the “Start/Stop button” to stop the ice-making process. The appliance will return to the standby mode with the “LARGE” indicator flashing and the motor will stop after approximately 30 seconds. Turn off the power outlet if possible and then unplug the appliance. Open the top lid and collect the ice using the ice scoop.

NOTE: When the ambient temperature is below 15 degrees, it is recommended to select small ice cube size. When the ambient temperature is above 30 degrees, it is recommended to select large ice cube size.

Add water indicator

When the “ADD WATER” indicator is ON, operation is paused and water should be added to the water reservoir. After adding water, press the “Start/Stop” button twice to restart the appliance.

Ice full indicator

When the “ICE FULL” indicator is ON, the ice has reached the maximum capacity of the ice basket and operation is paused. Open the top lid and use the ice scoop to take out ice cubes. When the ice level is lowered, the appliance will restart automatically.
Cleaning function
Fill water to MAX. level mark on water reservoir, plug in the appliance, press and hold the “Start/Stop button” for 3 seconds to start the cleaning function. When performing the cleaning function, the four indicator lights on the control panel will keep alternating. Do not disconnect the power supply during cleaning. After cleaning, the appliance will enter the standby mode automatically.

CARE AND CLEANING

It is recommended to clean the ice maker once a week and replace the water every 48 hours. Before cleaning, please make sure that the appliance is turned OFF, unplugged and at room temperature.

1. If there is residual water in the ice basket, gently push the ice basket so that the water drains into the water reservoir.
2. Move the ice maker 75mm away from the surface where it is used and open the drain plug to drain out excess water.
3. Remove the ice basket.
4. Clean the interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water, then rinse with fresh water and let dry. Add white vinegar to the warm water for better cleaning.
5. Reinstall and tighten the drain plug firmly.
6. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rince and dry
7. Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing soap if necessary. Then wipe dry.
8. Depending on the use of the appliance, the filter screen in the water reservoir should be cleaned on a regular basis in order to prevent the water inlet from becoming clogged by incrustation scale. As shown in the figure below, take out the ice basket and the filter screen from the water reservoir. Clean the filter screen with a brush and clean water. Then put the filter screen and ice basket in place.
9. If the ice maker will not be used for an extended period, ensure that the water reservoir is empty and all components are dry.
10. Store at a cool, dry place which is away from direct sunlight.
