    • Ensure that the ambient temperature, water temperature and water supply pressure are within the specified ranges.

14. Startup: Turn on the power switch on the power supply line. When this machine is CD powered on, and press the “Switch ****” && button on the display panel. This machine will be in the status of automatic ice making.

15. Inspection in normal operation: ✓ Make sure that ice can fall off normally. ✓ For the air-cooled Granular Icemaker, make sure that the fan works properly, and the air flows steadily at the inlet and outlet of the Granular Ice maker; ✓ Make sure that the Granular Ice maker has no abnormal noise; ✓ Make sure that the Granular Ice maker has no abnormal vibration.

Operating instruction

Startup: After the correct installation, turn on the water source and power supply. Then press the ‘Switch” ME button on the display panel. The machine will be in the status of normal operation. It will work automatically in an unattended manner in the whole running process. Make sure that this machine is running normally after the first startup. **Note:** If exposed to thunderstorms or not in use from a long time, please cut off the power supply and water source! Preparation: After the Granular Ice maker is powered on, press the “Switch” raz aft button on the display panel. Following the 10-second countdown, the balance valve. reducer, fan, and compressor will be started in sequence.

• Preparation: After the Granular Ice maker is powered on, press the “Switch” ****button on the display panel. Following the 10-second countdown, the balance valve, reducer, fan, compressor will be started in sequence.
• Ice making: The continuous water now is stored in the inner wall of the evaporator. where it freezes. It is cut by the ice Will driven by the reducer and is taken out of the evaporator through the spiral ice blade.
• Water shortage restart When there is not adequate water to meet the needs for normal ice making, the LED low water lever indicator on the display panel will be normally ON. When the normal water supply is recovered, the low water level” indicator will be OFF. After some time, the machine will be restarted, and the “Water shortage restart’ indicator will be normally ON. Following the 10-hour normal operation, the ‘Water shortage restart” indicator will be OFF automatically.
• Shutdown: In the running status, press the ‘Switch” ****button on the panel. The compressor will immediately stop working. After the 60-second countdown on the display panel, the reducer and fan will be shut down, and the machine will be OFF.
• Automatic shutdown with full Ice: In the running status, as Granular ice in the ice bin increases to a certain height. blocking the infrared correlation between the transmitter and receiver of the full ice switch(The ice full switch is located at the lower end of the ice cylinder or under the ice outlet). After some time (60s). this machine will confirm the full ice in the ice bin and automatically stop running.
• Ice marking recovery after Ice removal: As Granular ice in the ice bin is taken out, the ice height will decrease. This will be detected in two minutes, followed by normal ice making.

Instruction of Control Panel
