Installation
- Open the package and move the icemaker to a well-ventilated grounded area. The icemaker has an operating temperature of between 10°C – 38°C, and operating humidity of ?90%.
- Keep the distance between the air vents of the machine and the wall to be at least 50cm.
- Do not place the icemaker near any heat sources (for example, stoves, ovens, heaters).
- Ensure the water temperature and pressure are appropriate.
- For best results, it is recommended the temperature of water from the inlet be 0.6°C – 32°C and the pressure be 0.138-0.552MPa.
- Water should be drained using a sewer. Ensure the sewer that will be used is clean and unblocked.

Connecting the water supply pipe
- Take out the water supply pipes from accessory bag to connect to the tap and water supply valve.
- Place the water tap connector seal (2) and water tap connector (3) onto the tap. Slide through the end (with the steel balls) of the 1.2m water supply pipe (4). Hold the steel ball end and secure it to the water tap connector (3).
- Connect the other end of the water supply pipe to the filter (5).
- Take the 1.2m water pipe (4) and connect one end to the filter (5). Twist and secure the water supply valve connector (7) over the other end of the water pipe (4).Place the water supply valve connector seal (8) over the water supply valve (9) and screw the 1.2m water supply pipe clockwise (6) to secure it to the water supply valve (9).
- Check the connection for leaking. Tighten if necessary.
Note: The filter may also be mounted to a wall using the included water filter brackets.
Connecting the wate『dischargepipe
- The water discharge pipe (740mm in length) comes pre-installed on the back of the icemaker. Extend the pipe and connect it to the sewer.
Note: To prevent the discharged water flowing back into the icemaker, ensure the highest point of the discharge pipe is higher than the sewer.
Adjusting the legs
- Adjust the two legs by twisting them until the icemaker is level. Screw down the two adjustable legs into the nuts on the ice maker.
Operation
- Powering on
- Switch on the power to the icemaker by pressing the power button on the display. Turn on the tap and water supply valve. Fill the icemaker sink with water.
- Water pressure balancing
- Upon first use, the icemaker will then automatically go through a process using the water supply, water pump and pre-installed drain valve to balance the water pressure in the machine.
- This process will take around 5 minutes. Usually, the machine is connected to the power source continually.
- Note:
- If the main power switch is kept on the icemaker, this pressure balancing process will occur after every 30 icemaking cycles.
- If the main power switch is turned off, this pressure balancing process will begin every time the machine is first turned on and filled with water.
- lce making
- The water pump will start pumping water through the icemaker into the evaporator to form the mould of the ice cubes.
- The condenser will pump refrigerant to cool the water down to turn it into ice.
- The sensor inside will detect when the water has frozen to ice, and regulate the thickness of the ice cubes.
- Note:
- The icemaker will take a few minutes after turning on to start up and prepare for icemaking.
- For the fastest results, ensure the door is closed during the icemaking process.
- The fan will start and stop intermittently to regulate the condenser’s temperature during the icemaking process.
- During first use, the icemaker may take longer to form ice cubes due to the higher temperature in the water inlet.
- Ice release
- Once the ice cubes are ready, the water pump will stop. The water supply valve will open and any remaining water will go into the sink.
- The condenser will then start a heating process to release the ice cubes from the mould. This process will take around 2 minutes, following which the ice cubes will drop into the cabinet.
- The ice cubes will hit the sensor located on the「ight side of the retaining board to signal for a new icemaking cycle to begin. Water will then start pumping back into the ice maker to make more ice.
- After every four ice-making cycles, ensure to drain the water out of the sink.
- Note:
- If the cabinet is full of ice cubes, ice cubes may become stuck between the retaining board and the evaporator, causing the retaining board to move away from its original position and stop the machine from making ice.
- Remove the stuck ice cubes to allow the retaining board to return to its original position.
- The machine should resume icemaking.
- Ice can also be made using the manual operation mode button on the display. Refer to the “Display” section below for details.

CLEANING & CARE
- These steps should also be followed if the icemaker has not been used for an extended period prior to use.
- Before cleaning, remove any ice cubes from the cabinet. Ensure the main power and tap are turned off.
- Clean the exterior and the interior cabinet with water. Neutral detergents (those containing no alkaline and bleaches) may also be used with water.
- Wipe down the icemaker with a soft towel.
Notes:
- Do not harshly spray (for example, using a pressure cleaner) the machine directly.
- Do not use alkaline dete「gents, perfumed soap, lapping powder, boiling water, banana oil and any other organic solvents to clean the icemaker.
- Grasp and carefully pull the air vent off the front of the icemaker. Use a dust collector brush to clean the dust off the condenser.
Notes:
- To avoid damage to the condenser, do not use iron or other metal tools to remove the dust.
- It is recommended to clean the condenser every 3 months.
- Open the door and remove the spray water pipe. Open the cover and scrub all buildup every hole in the pipe until all holes are clear.
- Close the cover and insert the spray water pipe back into the icemaker.
- Note: The spray water pipe should be cleaned at least every 6 months.
- Screw off all pre-installed nuts from all nozzles on the pipes. Remove and clean the plates that are sandwiched between the nozzle and the nut. Ensure the holes on each plate are clear.
- After cleaning, secure the plates and nuts back onto the nozzle.
- Unscrew the pre-installed cap the drain valve and drain out all dirty water. Once drained, screw the cap back onto the drain valve.
Automatic cleaning mode
- In addition to manually cleaning the icemaker, users can press the “clean” button on the electrical box whilst the icemaker is making ice to activate the automatic cleaning mode.
- The icemaker’s refrigeration system will stop as it begins the cleaning process. The whole process takes around 30 minutes.
- Once complete, check the location of the float pre-installed inside the icemaker.
- If the float is located close to the bottom, this is normal. The icemaker will then the water pressure balancing process and the water level inside the icemaker will be regulated.
Descaling
- For the safe and efficient use, all pipes, valves, the evaporator, and water pump should be descaled at an interval of at least every 3 months.
- Pour food-grade descaling agent, diluted citric acid with a 20% concentration, or white vinegar into the icemaker sink and activate the cleaning mode by either pressing and holding down the Light/ cleaning button on the display for 3 seconds.
- Meanwhile, use a brush to clean and limescale on surfaces.
- After the icemaker completes its cleaning, activate the cleaning mode three times using clean water from the tap to flush out residue acids, ensure food safety and to prevent corrosion damage to components.
Wate filter
- The water filter should be replaced regularly for proper hygiene and due to damage caused by limescale build-up over time. If replacement is required, contact [email protected] fo r further assistance.
