BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging materials and read all instructions.
2. Check that all accessories are complete and the appliance is not damaged.
3. Clean all parts to remove any dust or manufacturing residue.
4. Clean the water storage tank and ice collecting tray with clean water.
5. Run the Cleaning Function, as described on page 7.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Open the lid and take out the ice collecting tray and add water to the tank. Do not use water that is chilled from a fridge.
   NOTE : There is a maximum scale (MAX) in the water tank.
   The water should not exceed the MAX position. If the water exceeds the MAX position, you need to open the bottom drainage plug and release the excess water. Plug the drainage plug back in.

2. Replace the ice collecting tray and close the transparent lid.

3.  Plug the Ice Maker plug into the mains power. The POWER button indicator will begin to flash. Press the POWER button to start the machine.

4.  Press the SELECT button to select the ice making mode. When the indoor temperature is lower than 15°C, it is recommended to select small ice. When the indoor temperature is higher than 30°C, it is recommended to choose large ice.

NOTE : When the the large ice mode (L) is selected, ice will be produced every 9 minutes. When the small ice mode (S) is selected, ice is produced every 8 minutes.

CARE & CLEANING

• Clean the water tank if the appliance has water in the tank and has not been used for 48 hours.
• If the appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the lid open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water tank, 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 outside surface. Do not spray with chemicals or diluted agents such as acids or oil. Rinse thoroughly before operation.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• To ensure good quality ice, please change the water in the tank once a day. If unused for a long time, drain the water out of the unit and dry the tank.
• If the compressor does not work, due to lack of water, full ice, power failure, etc, it will delay for 3 minutes to start up after restarted.
• The water tank has a filter screen that should be removed and cleaned regularly to prevent scale from blocking the water inlet. Take out the ice collecting tray, filter cover and filter screen, clean the filter cover and filter screen with clean water, and then put them back in place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE : If a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the POWER button has been pressed 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.

Check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can not remove the ice to the ice collecting tray. If not, push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press POWER button to restart.

TIPS FOR YOUR ICE MAKER

• Opening the lid for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• If the appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the lid open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to reach temperatures between 70°C and 90°C during operation and surrounding areas may be very hot.
• Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may become opaque. This is due to air becoming trapped in the water and will not affect the quality or taste of the ice.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality. Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off.
