CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER

Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.

1. Take out the ice basket.
2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.
3. Then use the water to rinse the inside parts, and drain out the water from the draining port by unplugging the drain cap on the back.
4. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
6. When the machine is not in use for a long time, open the water drain cap to drain water completely out from the water reservoir.

After using your ice maker for a long time, we also suggest you should clean

your unit. Especially to the water separator pipe and the wate filters, you must clean them periodically.

Then move back the cover at once to avoid foreign matter enter. Warning: Do not pour the water into the internal water tank located underneath the ice basket. This tank is not big enough and will effect the ice-making performance.

2. When you plug the unit, the power symbol< > will flash. Press the <ON/OFF>button, the unit will start making ice cube, ice-making symbol< > will keep running. The left up corner of display area will show the ambient temp,i.e:80 ℉ means the ambient temp is 80 ℉.After several mins, this area will show flash number, the ice making will countdown,i.e:10M means the ice making will finish 10 mins later.

3. When ice maker harvest, symbol< > flash, the water will flow from the topwater reservoir to bottom water tank through the solenoid valve,the symbol < > will be on , when the water in  the bottom water tank is full,the symbol < > will be off,then the next ice-making cycle start again. When there is no water in the water reservoir, the symbol< > will keep on. Turn off the unit and fill water again, then restart the unit to make an ice cube.Or fill water directly and wait 20mins,the unit will restart . Remark:The ice-making cycle lasts about 13 to 25 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. And for the first time, according to the initial water temperature, ice-making last time will be a little longer. In the extreme hot room temperature, ice-making time may be Vary a lot, but it will not exceed 35 minutes.
   If you think the ice cube is not thick enough, during ice making, press the<+>and<->to set the ice-making lead time. Press one time and the ice-making cycle will increase or reduce one min to 6 min most. This can only start from the new cycle.

4. When Ice Full symbol< >is on, the unit will stop, take out the ice cube inside, the unit will start working again. If press the button<ON/OFF>more than 5s, when the ice maker is working, the unit will start harvesting. Press the button<ON/OFF>,the unit will turn off. Timer setting. Unit on timer setting, When the unit is working, timer setting the unit off. Unit off Timer setting, When the unit is off, timer the unit on. Press thebutton,the display will show<1H>,and then press<+>and<->to set the time. During the setting,the His flash, after 5s, the H will keep on and unit will in your Timer setting.

5. Water Drain: take off the drain plug cap on the back of unit, take out the silicon plug,then drain the water inside. It is better that exchange water every 24 hours and clean unit every 3 days.

Warning
A 、make sure the water tank,water filter, and the water separator pipe is not blocked, clean them
B 、The water temp will affect the ice-making capacity. The lower temp, the more ice cube produce.
C 、The cooler the ambient temp, the more ice cube produce.
D 、 lways use good quality water to make sure the pump work well. Bad quality water will cause pump noise, but doesn’t ffect the unit working.
E、The compressor restart 3mins later if you turn off the unit.
