OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Open the lid and take out the ice collecting tray and add water to the
reservoir.
Note: There is a maximum scale MAX in the reservoir. The water should not
exceed the MAX position. If the water exceeds the maximum scale MAX, you need
to open the bottom drain plug, release the excess water, and cover it with a
transparent cover.
Step 2
Plug in power, press the START/STOP button to start the machine.
CAUTION
- In the first three cycles when used at the first time, the ice produced may be small and irregular.
- When the ice collecting tray is full, please take out the ice immediately, do not let the ice overflow the ice collecting tray.
CLEANING & USE GUIDANCE
- Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water tank and ice shovel frequently. When cleaning, unplug the unit and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and the outside surface of the Ice maker. Rinse thoroughly before use.
- Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Reuse the machine after being idle for a period of time, it may not be able to pump enough water up for air blockage. In this case, the water shortage indicator sign is displayed, just repress the START/STOP button to restart the ice maker.
- To ensure the cleanness of ice, please change the water of the water reservoir at least once a day. If do not use it for a long time, please drain the water out and clean it up.
- If the compressor does not work due to the lack of water, ice full, power failure, etc, it will delay for 3 minutes to start again after being restarted.
- Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
- According to the actual use of the machine, the filter screen in the water tank shall be regularly cleaned after disassembly to prevent the water inlet from being blocked by incrustation scale.
As shown in the figure below, take out the ice collecting tray and filter cover from the water tank in turn, clean the filter cover with clean water and a brush, and then put it back in place.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Please note, if a power failure occurs due to the disconnection of the power cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice-making cycle, small ice chips may form and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips can be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, and restarting it at last.
- Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can not remove the ice to the ice collecting tray. If not, please push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press START/STOP button to restart.
