OPERATING PROCEDURES & MAINTENANCE

UNPACKING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Remove all exterior and interior packaging. Check that the ice basket and ice scoop are included.
   If any part or accessory is missing, please contact our customer service.

2. Clean the interior with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Remove the ice basket and wash it in warm water.

3. Find a location for your ice maker that is protected from direct sunlight and other sources of heat(i.e.: stove, furnace, radiator). Place the ice maker on a  level surface. Make sure that there is at least 5 inches of space between the back and slides of your ice maker and the wall.

4. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging in the unit.

5. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER

| Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged please call  our customer service at 800-562-0738.
---|---

1. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug that connects with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
2. Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.
3. This appliance requires a standard 220-240 volt, 50Hz electrical outlet with a three-prong ground.

Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.
The ice maker is not designed to be installed in an outside area such as a garage or a porch. Ambient temperatures of below 50 O F or above 100 O F will hinder the performance of the appliance.

HOW TO CLEAN

Remove the ice basket.

1. Pull off the drain plug from the front underside to drain out the water.
2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth.
3. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
4. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
5. Put back the drain plug.
6. When the machine is not in use, open the water drain cap to drain the water completely from the water reservoir.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. The ice maker should be cleaned on a regular basis. (See:” HOW TO CLEAN”)
2. It is necessary to have adequate ventilation space around the ice maker in order to sustain proper performance, dissipation of heat, maintain efficiency,  and low power consumption. Clearance of a minimum of 5 inches should be maintained at the rear and sides of the unit and 8 inches at the top of the unit.
3. To attain proper performance, be sure to plug the appliance into a properly grounded 220-240/50 Hz outlet.
4. Do not modify the power cord under any circumstances to allow the unit to be plugged into a non-grounded outlet. To avoid heat damage to the power cord, please ensure that it does not come in proximity or in direct contact with the compressor of the ice maker.
5. Please avoid installing the ice maker in a location where the appliance will come in contact with water or moisture to minimize rusting of metal parts.
6. The ice maker should not be installed near any heat source or in a location where it will come in direct contact with the sunlight.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Clean your ice maker thoroughly.
   

2. Open the cover, remove the ice basket and pour drinkable water (preferably purified water or distilled water) into the tank.

3. Plugin the unit and the “POWER” indicator light will blink.

4. Press “ON/OFF” on the control panel to begin the ice-making cycle. The “POWER” indicator light will light.

5. Select the size of the ice cube by pressing the “SELECT” button. If the ambient temperature is below 60ºF, it is recommended to select a small size to avoid ice sticking together.

6. While the ice maker is on, check the water level periodically. If the water pump can’t inject water, the ice maker will stop automatically, and the “ADD WATER”  indicator will be on. Press the “ON/OFF” button, fill water up to the level mark, and press “ON/OFF” again.
   Allow 3 minutes for the refrigerant to settle before restarting.

7. The icemaker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full and the “ICE FULL” indicator will be illuminated. Warning: Direct sunlight or sunlight reflection may cause infrared sensor malfunction. If the unit does not stop, even ice cubes can obstruct the sensor, move the unit where there is no sunlight.

8. Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level.
   If the unit is not in use, drain all water in the tank reservoir.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

| POSSIBLE CAUSE|

SOLUTION

---|---|---
The “ADD WATER” indicator is on.| Lack of water.| Stop the ice maker, fill water, and press “ON/OFF” button again to restart the unit.
The “ICE FULL” indicator is on.| The ice basket is full.| Remove ice from ice basket.
No ice, but “ICE FULL”
the indicator is illuminated.| 1. Ice-Full sensor (transmitter and receiver) is covered by the impurities contained in water or other pollutants. 2. Ice- Full sensor is malfunctioning.| Use a soft cloth to dip into the water to clean the Ice-Full sensor. After cleaning, see if the ice maker resumes working, otherwise, please consult a certified technician.
The “ICE FULL” indicator is on for 3 seconds and off for 3 seconds.| The ice shovel is stuck or the flip system is malfunctioning.| Check if the ice is blocking the ice shovel, otherwise, press the “ON/OFF” button to turn off the ice maker and press it again to turn it on to see if it can make ice normally. If the “ICE FULL” indicator is still on for 3 seconds and off for 3 seconds, press the “ON/OFF” button to turn off the machine and consult a certified technician.
Water is added, but “ADD WATER” the indicator is illuminated and ice is not made.| The ice-Full sensor is malfunctioning.| Please consult a certified technician.
Ice cubes stick together.| Ice making cycle is too long.| Stop the ice maker, and restart when the ice blocks melt.
Select the small ice size.
The water temperature in the inner tank is too low.| Change the water in the reservoir. Use water between 450E-900F.
Leaving ice in the appliance for an extended period of time may result in the appliance recycling the ice by melting it down and making a new batch.| Transfer ready-made ice to another container and store in a cooler or freezer to avoid recycling.
The ice cubes are melting.| Leaving ice in the appliance for an extended period of time may result in the appliance recycling the ice by melting it down and making a new  batch.
The ice maker is not designed to store ice for very long. Melting ice is normal operation if ice is not used or moved to a cooler or freezer regularly.| After extended period transfer ready-made ice to another container and store in a cooler or freezer to avoid recycling.
| Ambient temperature or water temperature
in inner tank is too high.| Please operate the ice maker below ambient temperature of 90°F and use cold water.
Ice making cycle is normal but no ice is made.| Refrigerant liquid leakage.| Consult a qualified technician.
