CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER

DANGER

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.

1. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall out lets 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 110-120volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER

Clean it thoroughly before you use it for the first time.

Make sure the unit is unplugged before attempting to clean and allow it to warm up to room temperature.

1. Take out the ice basket.
2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.
3. Rinse the inside part and drain out water through 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 tank.

To maintain maximum efficiency and to prevent bacterial growth, we suggest you clean your unit regularly, especially the water pipe and water filters

1. If there is no water flowing down but you can still hear the compressor and water pump are working, the water pipe is probably blocked. To clean it up, turn off the unit
   first and then remove it from the unit. Clean each hole on the pipe wall as shown in the right picture. After cleaning it up, make sure it’s replaced correctly and the right end is connected to the silicone pipe.
   

2. For both of the water tank and the big water reservoir, clean them with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse the inside and drain out the water from the draining port by unplugging the drain cap on the back. It will help you keep the unit and ice-cube clean and maintain its efficiency.

3. If you find there are ice left in evaporator and cannot be removed easily, press and hold the power button for more than 5 seconds to activate ice dumping mode. The whole process might take 1-3 minutes.

How to drain out the water from the internal tank and big water reservoir completely

To drain out the water from both the big water tank and inner tank, unplug your unit and remove the cap of the Water Outlet.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

Adding Water

Remove the water reservoir cover and pour potable water into the reservoir. Make sure the water level is below the FULL mark as shown in the right picture. Close the cover at once to avoid foreign matter enter. Warning: Do not pour the water into the internal water tank underneath the ice basket. This tank is not big enough and will affect the ice making performance.

Turn “ON”：

Operation Panel and Display Area

• A. Plug the Ice Maker into the outlet, the Power Indicator and will turn on and flash. The water tank starts filling the inner tank under the ice basket until it reaches required water level, and symbol turns off. Press Power Button (ON/OFF) on the operation panel to start making ice. During ice making process, stays on, ice making symbol zooms, and the current ambient temperature is shown on the upper left of the display. For example, ”25” indicates that the current ambient temperature is 25degreesCelsius. After a few minutes of ice making, the number in Time Indicator starts to flash, indicating the remaining time for this ice making cycle. For example, a flashing number “8”means it will take 8 minutes to finish the ice making.

• B. It starts dumping ice after this ice making cycle finishes. The ice making symbol flashes, and the inner tank begins to replenish till the set value, then begins the next ice making cycle. Symbol lights up if there is insufficient water in tank, and the machine stops working. Add water, turn on the machine and you can continue making ice.

• C. Each ice making cycle lasts about 15-25 minutes. It varies according to the ambient temperature and water temperature. The duration especially lasts longer when you use it
  for the first time, or the water temperature is high.

• D. Adjustment of ice thickness: During the ice making cycle, the thickness of the ice cube is can be adjusted by pressing “+” and “—” on the operation panel. The default figure at the lower right of the display for ice making time is “0”. Each time you press “+”, the duration adds 1 minute, and the ice cube will be thicker. The maximum time can be addedis6minutes. The actual duration will be displayed in the lower right corner of the display. Each time you press “—”, the duration decreases 1 minute, and the ice will be thinner. The maximum time can be reduced is 6 minutes. After the machine is powered on again, it returns to the default setting “0”. Please note the time you set takes effect from the next ice making cycle.

• E. If the Ice Full Indicator lights up, the ice maker stops working. Remove ice from the basket and it will start working again.

Shutdown

During the ice making process, press the “ON/OFF” button on the operation panel to shut
down the machine and it enters standby mode. Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for more than 5 seconds during ice making cycle, the machine goes to the dumping process. This function helps to remove ice from the icing pan. Press the “ON/OFF” button again and the machine will shut down.

Timer Setting

Setting range: 1-24 hours

Regular shutdown: Schedule an auto shutdown during the ice making cycle. Regular start:

Schedule a startup on standby mode.

• A. How to set the timer
  Press the “TIMER” button on the operation panel, a flashing number “1H” appear sat the bottom right of the display, and then press “+” or “-” button to adjust the time you need. Each press adds or reduces 1 hour. The letter “H” flashes while you’re adjusting time, and stops flashing after the setting is done for 5 seconds. The “H” in the display indicates that the machine is currently is on timer function. It starts counting down until the number turnsto0. The machine enters the mode you preset after the countdown finishes.

• B. How to cancel the timer
  When the machine is scheduled (the display has XX H), press the “TIMER” button, the timing number on the screen will flash, and then press it again to cancel the timer.
  Ice making duration and countdown time display alternatively every 5 seconds if the machine is scheduled.

Display Backlight settings

Press and hold the “TIMER” button for more than 5 seconds to set the blue backlight.

• Mode 1: Light the blue backlight for a long time;
• Mode 2: The blue backlight is on when the button is pressed, and goes out after 10seconds.

Machine Drainage

Unscrew the drain nut on the back of the machine counter clockwise, and then pull out the silicone plug to drain the water in the tank. The machine must be on standby mode while draining the tank. Put back the silicone plug and drain nut after draining out the water.

Good hygiene is important for staying healthy. Please change water every 24 hours and clean the water tank and inner tank every 3 days.

WARNINGS

• A. Make sure the water tank, water filter and the water separator pipe are cleaned regularly. Blockage may lead to poor performance of the unit.
• B. Water temperature will affect the performance of ice making. The lower the temperature is, the more ice cube produce.
• C. Ambient temperature will affect the performance of ice making. The cooler the ambient temperature is, the more ice cube produce.
• D. Good quality water ensures a proper performance and relatively longer operational life. Purified water and distilled water are recommended. Bad quality water will not affect the working of the unit, but it might be noisy while making ice.
• E. There will be a three-minute delay if the compressor restarts.
