- Plug your appliance into a specialized grounding wall outlet that is properly installed. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.
- This appliance requires a standard 110-120 volt, 60Hz electrical three-prong grounding outlet.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER
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 rinse the inner parts with water and drain out the water by unplugging the drain cap on the front bottom side.
- 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 clean soft cloth.
- When the machine is not in use for a long time, drain the water completely out and dry the interior.
USING YOUR ICE MAKER
- Open the cover, remove the ice basket and pour water into the tank. Keep the water level below the maximum water level mark.
- Press the “ON/OFF” button on the control panel to begin the ice-making cycle.
- The ice-making cycle lasts approximately 6 to 13 minutes, which depends on the selection of ice cube size and the room temperature. The recommended room temperature is 50℉ to 105℉.
- If the water pump can’t inject water, the ice maker will stop automatically and the “ADD WATER” indicator will be on. Press the “ON/OFF” button, add water to the max water level mark, and press the “ON/OFF” button to turn on the unit again. Allow at least 3 minutes for the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor to settle before restarting.
- The ice maker stops when the ice basket is full and the “ICE FULL” indicator will be on.
- Warning: Direct sunlight or sunlight reflection may cause infrared sensor malfunction. If the unit doesn’t stop even when ice cubes obstruct the sensor, move the unit to where there is no sunlight.
- Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygienic level. If the unit isn’t to be used, drain all the water and dry the tank.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
The “ADD WATER” indicator is on. | Lack of Water. | Stop the ice maker, |

size.
The water temperature in the inner tank is too low.| Change the water. The
recommended water temperature is 40℉ – 90℉
The ice-making cycle is normal but no ice cube is formed.| The room
temperature or the water temperature in the inner tank is too high.| The room
temperature should be 50℉ – 105℉ and the water temperature should be 40℉ – 90℉
The refrigerant in the cooling system leaks.| Verify it by a qualified
technician.
The pipe in the cooling system is blocked.| Verify it by a qualified
technician.
