Operating Instructions

Operation panel and function

Standby Mode

• Power on, the work indicator flashes, ice machine enters standby mode.
• Under ice-making mode, shortly after press the making button once, the work indicator flashes, ice machine enters standby mode.

Ice Making Mode

• Under other working modes except washing mode, short press the ice-making button once, the working indicator will be always on, ice machine enters ice-making mode.

Washing Mode

• Under standby mode, press and hold the ice-making button for 3S, the work indicator, add the water indicator and ice full indicator light up at the same time, and the machine enters the washing mode.
• After the washing process is finished, it automatically returns to standby mode.
• Under the washing mode, short press ice making button to exit washing mode.

Ice Full Reminding Mode

• During ice ice-making process, when the ice cubes block the signal transmission of the photoelectric sensor, the ice-full indicator will light up, and a “beep” sound will be emitted for about 3 seconds, then automatically enter ice-full reminding mode.
• When the ice cubes are melted or removed manually, the signal transmission of the photoelectric sensor is restored, and it will automatically resume ice-making. When no ice cube or other foreign object is blocking the signal transmission of the photoelectric sensor, but the machine still indicates ice full, it means the photoelectric sensor is in failure. At this time, if you want to make ice, you can press and hold the making button for 3S to force ice-making. It will automatically enter ice-full reminder- ing mode after working 10 rounds.

• When using pure water or distilled water to make ice, there may be a false alarm of water shortage, just add a little salt to solve.
• To obtain larger ice cubes, in addition to lowering the room temperature, you can also use water of a lower temperature to make ice.
• The ice box is not reset reminding mode is designed as a protective feature.

In general

• When there are ice cubes or foreign objects around the outer periphery of the ice-making box that blocks the rotation of the ice-making box, only needs to remove the ice cubes or foreign objects manually.

• To avoid contaminating food, follow these instructions:
  • Opening the door (cover) for a long period can cause the temperature in the ice machine storage room to increase significantly.
  • Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage system; if the machine is not used for 48 hours, the water tank needs to be cleaned; if the water in tank exists more than 5 days, the water circulation system connected to the water supply system needs to be washed.
  • If the ice maker is left empty for a long period, please turn it off, defrost, clean, dry, and keep the door (cover) open to prevent mould from developing inside of the ice maker.

Cleaning and Maintains

Cleaning
Precautions for storage room and external cleaning:

• Pull out the plug before cleaning.
• When cleaning, make sure that water does not get into the live parts.
