• B— Add water indicator
• C—Ice full indicator
• D—Power button

Operation

When using for the first time (or not used for a long time), discard the ice cubes made in the first four cycles, ensuring the machine is thoroughly cleaned.

1. Connect the power cord to a grounded three-hole outlet.
2. Open the front cover, take out the ice basket, then pour the drinkable water into the tank (do not exceed the maximum level mark).
3. Insert the ice basket (the water level is underneath the ice basket) and close the cover.
4. Press – the ‘Big Ice’ indicator will be on continuously. When the light stops flashing, the machine will start working.

Tips
When the ice box is full, the ‘ice full’ indicator on the display panel will light up (red) – the machine will stop automatically. When the ice is removed, the machine will start working. If water is insufficient, the ‘add water’ indicator lights up (red) and the machine will stop working. After refilling, press to restart.

If an error occurs, the ‘ice full’ and ‘add water’ indicators will flash simultaneously – the ice maker will stop working. Please refer to the ‘troubleshooting’ page. When not in use, turn off and unplug the machine.

Ice storage capacity

• When the ice basket is full, the machine will stop automatically and enter standby.
• The ice maker can partially block heat and store ice temporarily, but cannot be used as a freezer.
• Please remove ice cubes and add water to ensure the machine works properly.

Sounds during machine operation
Your new ice maker may make unfamiliar sounds. Most sounds are normal, for example:

• Efficient compressors emit beating or sharp sounds.
• Water splashes from the evaporator to the tank.
• At the end of each cycle, you can hear the gurgling of the refrigerant flowing.
• The sound of air compressed by the fan over the condenser.
• In the final cycle, you may hear ice falling into the box.

Cleaning and maintenance

Regular cleaning and correct maintenance will keep your machine in top working condition.

• Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the machine.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents, which may damage the machine.
• Do not wash the machine. Wipe the outside of the machine with a damp cloth.
• Regularly check the drain plug, ensuring it is tight to prevent leakages.
• After the first use or if it has not been used for long periods, clean the machine.:
• Disinfection solution: water and vinegar or citric acid (ratio: 10:1).
• Wipe the inside with a solution, including the evaporator (icing column).
• Add ice-making water, run the machine and discard the ice cubes produced – repeat this four times, then remove the remaining water from the drain and reinstall the plug.
• Use a clean, soft cloth to remove any remaining watermarks.

Strange smells
If the ice has a strange taste or odour, follow the above steps to clean the inside of the machine.

Storage
If the ice maker is not in use for long periods, turn off and unplug the machine, ensuring all water has been drained. Dry the interior with a soft, clean cloth (refer to maintenance and cleaning).
