IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
- Do not turn the Ice Maker upside down as this may damage the compressor and sealed system. When transporting, do not incline on over 45° angle.
- Remove all packing material and carefully check your Ice Maker to ensure it’s in good condition and that there is no damage to it or the power cord and plug.
- The Ice Maker should be placed horizontally on a level surface. To ensure proper ventilation for your Ice Maker, allow 150mm of space at the top, the back and on each side. Do not install the Ice Maker near an oven, radiator, or any other heat source.
- Before using the Ice Maker for the first time: Wait 2 hours after you have positioned it. Have the lid open as well.
- Ensure that the voltage indicated on the Ice Maker corresponds with the voltage in your house.
- For the first three cycles, the ice may be small and irregular in size.
- If no water is pumped out to the water tray over two cycles, open the drain cap and let several drops of water drain out.
CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
- START: Press to switch unit on. This button is also used to start the ice making cycle.
- STOP: Press to switch unit off.
- SELECT: Ice size selection (S) small, (M) medium or (L) large. (Note: The selected mode will stay as selected unless changed or a power failure occurs. The default setting is medium).
- DEFICIENT: This light will come on with a long beep. You will need to add water and press the ‘STOP’ then the ‘START’ button to restart the Ice Maker.
- ICEFULL: This light will come on with a beep when the ice has reached the maximum capacity of the storage cabinet. Press ‘STOP’ button then press ‘START’ button to restart the Ice Maker after some of the ice is scooped out.
HOW TO USE YOUR ICE MAKER
STEP 1. Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with water.
Note: Make sure the water level in the water reservoir is not over the ice
collecting tray.
STEP 2. Connect the plug to the main power switch.
STEP 3. Select desired ice cube size by pressing ‘SELECT’
Note: Select the (S) when ambient temperature is below 15°c. When the
ambient temperature is higher than 30°C, large ice cube sizes are recommended.
STEP 4. Press ‘START’ button to switch unit on. The ice maker begins to
work.
STEP 5. If indicator ‘DEFICIENT’ is red accompanied with a beeping noise,
take out the basket then add water as per step 1.
STEP 6. If indicator ‘ICEFULL’ is in red with a beeping noise, scoop out
the ice.
Note: When the ice collecting tray is full, remove the ice immediately.
Do not allow the ice collecting tray to overfill.
You must press ‘STOP’ then the ‘START’ button to restart the Ice Maker after
you add water or remove some of the ice.
STEP 7. Press ‘STOP’ button to stop the machine.
STEP 8. Remove the drain plug to drain remaining water from the water
reservoir. Screw the drain plug back in place after the water has been
drained.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel and evaporator frequently. When cleaning, unplug the unit and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and outside surface of the Ice Maker. Do not spray Ice Maker with chemicals or other diluted cleaning agents. Rinse thoroughly before starting.
- Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction. Do not use any mechanical device or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
- If the Ice Maker is reused after a long time in storage, the water pump may not pump sufficient water due to an air block (the deficient water indicator switches on in this case). To correct this, press the START button again. The Ice Maker will then work normally.
- To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, water in the water reservoir should be replaced every 24 hours.
- If the compressor stops for reasons such as water shortage, too much ice, the appliance switched off, etc., do not restart the system right away. Wait 3 minutes before restarting the Ice Maker.
- Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord or the off power button has been pushed accidentally during an ice-making cycle, small ice chips may form and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips then restarting the appliance.
- Restart the ice maker by pressing Stop and then Start. If the ice shovel does not push the ice into the ice collector, check to see if the water tray is horizontal or balanced. If not then adjust by pressing the ice shovel lightly with your finger. Then restart the Ice Maker.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Suggested Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| The compressor works abnormally with a buzzing noise | The voltage is lower | |
| than recommended | Stop the Ice Maker and do not restart until the voltage is |
normal.
Water shortage indicator light is on| There is no water| Press the Stop
button, fill with water, wait 3 minutes and press the start button to restart.
When the water has reached the fill line the ice maker will
restart automatically.
Indicator lights on display are not on| Blown fuse/ No power| Replace fuse /
Switch power on
The ice is too large and pieces are sticking together.| The water temperature
in the water storage box or ambient is too low| Stop the machine and reset the
ice-making cycle. Restart the machine after switching it off.
Conditions for ice-making cycle are all in order but no ice is coming out.|
Refrigerant leaks / Sealed system is blocked| Call for service.
Indicator lights for “FULL” and “DEFICIENT” light up at the same time| Water
tray is blocked by ice cube| Clear the ice cube under the ice shovel. Pull out
the plug and insert it again then press the “START” button. Wait 2 minutes and
the machine will restart automatically.
ADDITIONAL REMINDERS
- If the power cord is damaged; it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
- Fill only with potable water.
- It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to reach temperatures between 70°C and 90°C during operation. Surrounding areas may be very hot.
- Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear “Cloudy”. This is air trapped in the water and will not affect the quality or taste of ice.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
