6. Always use fresh water before starting ice production, either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.

FAULT AND CODE INDICATION
ADD WATER : Under normal conditions, the “ADD WATER” indicator light is not on.When the “ADD WATER” indicator light turns red and flashes, it means that the water in the water tank is insufficient. The ice maker stops ice making or cleaning.

ICE FULL : When the ice reaches the maximum amount of the ice basket, the “ICE FULL” indicator flashes white, and the ice maker stops making ice. When it takes out the ice basket to get ice, and then places it back into its position, the ice maker automatically cancels the ice full indicator and returns to the normal working state.

ICE JAM IN ICE MAKING SYSTEM: The water shortage indicator light, ice full indicator light, cleaning indicator light, and ice making indicator light flash simultaneously, and the ice maker stops ice making. After working with the cleaning function for 40 minutes (manually running the cleaning function 6 times), or waiting for 4 hours at room temperature, the ice particles in the evaporator completely melt, and then pressing the “Ice Making” button to restart the ice maker to enter normal operation.

ABNORMAL COMMUNICATION ON THE CONTROL BOARD: In standby mode, after pressing the “Ice Making” button to start, the water shortage indicator light, ice full indicator light, and these two lights will flash simultaneously, indicating that the control board cable is broken or the cable is in poor contact. It is necessary to recheck and eliminate the root cause of the cable problem.
