• Place the appliance on a level, steady and safe surface which can supports the weight of the appliance together with the bullet ice cube / flake ice produced during use.
• Avoid expose to direct sunlight or direct source of heat such as cooker, heat oven, etc.
• Make sure that a minimum of 20 cm distance is kept around all sides of the appliance for ventilation purposes.
• Place the appliance in such a way that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from its socket in case of necessity.
• Set up the appliance near water supply connection.

Attention: The appliance should be connected to a cold drinkable water supply only. Otherwise, a cleaning system or filter should be installed in advance.

• Connect one end of the water inlet supply hose to the 3 / 4” screw type connector of the water tap supply so as to get the drinkable tap water. Then, connect the other end of this hose to the back of the appliance by screwing clockwise. Be sure to put sealing washers in both ends before connecting.
• Next, connect one end of the drainage hose using the rubber drainage cuff to the rear of the appliance. Attach the other end to the sewage outlet / water container. The height of the sewage outlet / water container must be situated lower than the appliance, so that water can flow out.

Note: The inlet water supply pressure range: 1-8 kg/cm2 (0.098- 0.785 MPa). Pressure reducer should be installed if the pressure over this range.

Operating instructions

• Before first use, clean the appliance interior and exterior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
• Position the appliance in a well-ventilated place, leaving at least 150 mm gap around all sides for ventilation purposes.
• Let the appliance stand alone for about one hour in order to settle the refrigerant. Make sure connect properly with the water supply system.
• Then, plug in to a suitable socket.
• Press down the ON / OFF switch on the control panel in order start up.
• Then, the appliance will use water to clean up inside and water will flow out automatically. This time, light indicators of “Operation indicator”, “Display of fault”, “Water level is too low” are lights up and blink for about 30 seconds.
• Also, the ON / OFF switch lights up in green. The appliance starts to operate.
• The bullet ice cube / flake ice making process is completely automatic, it consists of several stages as below: Water inlet ==> bullet ice cube / flake ice production ==> ejection of bullet ice cube / flake ice ==> storage of bullet ice cube / flake ice.
• Then, push the slide door and use ice scoop to take out the ice.
• When the ice storage container is full, the “Storage tank is full” indicator will light up in yellow and the appliance will stop operation automatically.
• Once the bullet ice cube / flake ice have been removed, the appliance continue production of bullet ice cube / flake ice automatically.
