OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Open the lid and take out the ice collecting tray, and add water to the Water tank, make sure the drain plug is inserted before adding water.
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 with a transparent cover.
Step 2
Plug in power, the “digital screen” lights up, the “power indicator light”
always being on and the machine enters the standby mode.
Step 3
Press the “Big Ice” or “Small Ice” button to Select the size of the ice you
want to make and the default mode is large ice.
When the indoor temperature is lower than 15 ℃, small ice is recommended. When
the indoor temperature is higher than 30 ℃, large ice is recommended.
Step 4
Press START/PAUSE button to Start ice making.
CAUTION
- The three cycles used for the first time, the ice produced is small and irregular.
- When the ice basket is full, please take out the ice immediately, do not let the ice overflow the ice collecting tray.
- To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
- Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
- Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
- Drain water tanks if they have not been used for 48 hours.
- If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.)
TIPS
- The machine needs to add water manually, up to the MAX on the scale.
- The ice basket can hold 1.3 lbs Ice. When the ice basket is full, ice making will stop automatically.
- If ice is not used in time, it will melt into water and flow back to the water tank, which will be used for the next ice making;
- The melting time of ice cubes is about 2-4 hours, depending on the current temperature, ice cue size and number of ice cubes in the basket.
- When the ice melts, and the ice basket is not full, the machine will making ice automatically until the basket is full.
- The machine do not need defrosting.
- During the ice making process, you can add water and take ice, and the ice-making will not stop.
- When the machine is operating normally, hot air will be emitted from the rear air outlet with a buzzing sound of about 55-60 decibels. If there are other sounds or no wind, there may be other malfunctions. Please refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING”.
CLEANING & USE GUIDANCE
- Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel and evaporator 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. Do not spray Ice maker with chemicals or diluted agents such as acids, gasoline or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.
- 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 idled for a period of time, it may not be able to pump enough water up for air blockage. In this case, just repress START/PAUSE button to restart the ice maker.
- To ensure the cleanness of ice, please change water for water reservoir at least once one day. If do not use for a long time, please drain the water out and clean it up.
- If the compressor does not work due to lack of water, ice full, power failure, etc, it will delay for 3 minutes to start up after restarted.
- Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
- It is recommended to clean the water tank and tray at least once a month.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle, small ice chips may formed and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, then restarting.
- Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can not remove the ice to ice collecting tray. If not, please push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press START/PAUSE button to restart.
