  Just repress START / STOP 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 takes a strike action for shortage water, fully water or interruption of power supply, it will delay for 3mins to start up after restarted.

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

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 basket. If not, please push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press START/STOP button to restart.
