How the Ice Makers Works
A general description of how the Ice cubers work is given below The remainder of the manual provides more detail

Ice-making stage : when the power switch on, the compressor, water pump, and condenser fan motor will energize starting the freezer cycle and making ice. the water is circulated over the evaporator surface where the ice cube is formed. ( when you first start your ice maker, the system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing process takes about 3 minutes.) When the desired thickness of the ice is fully formed, the freezing cycle ends and the harvest cycle starts.

Harvest
During the harvest cycle, the water inlet valve is energized. The water will continue circulating to the water tank, and the hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas

Operation control  Maintenance& Clean

the evaporator. The gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The next freezing cycle will restart when all the cubes drop into the bin.

Iceful
When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the bin full probe open. The machine is in the bin full mode and the icefall LED is lighting with a blip sound. The unit starts making ice again automatically after the ice cubes are removed. As ice is removed, the bin full probe swings back to the operating position.

Noted
Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded. Do not turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working Do not touch the evaporator when the ice machine is running Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and ensure proper ice formation.

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life

Warning

• Disconnect electrical power before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
• Inspection and cleaning should be done only by a qualified technician.
• Don’t clean the ice maker by spraying water.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents, these types of cleaners may transfer taste, odor, and damage or discolor the appliance.
• Cloth-containing cleaning solution may cause contamination if not disposed of correctly.

Exterior cleaning

• To clean the parts made of steel use a microfiber cloth and the sponge. Always use the cloth and sponge in the direction of the steel’s satin finish.
• Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
• Do not use abrasive or metallic products which could scratch and damage the stain finishing on the ice maker permanently

Interior cleaning
Clean the interior of the ice bin and removable parts by washing them with a solution of lukewarm water, and a small amount of dish-washing detergent. Rinse and dry right away.

• Wash your hands, ice scoop, and interior before taking ice.
• The storage bin is for ice use only,, do not store anything else in the bin

Water distribution tube cleaning
When you find that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of ice cubes is low, the water distribution tube may be blocked. Set the power switch to off. Unscrew the screws holding the top panel and remove the panel. You will see the water distribution tube. Rotate the tube so that the holes are facing up. Using a toothpick or similar tool, dredge the holes, if the tube is badly blocked, clean with a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent. After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water. rotate the water distribution tube back to its original position.

Air filter
The ice maker filter prevents ash and dust in the air from clogging the condenser. An air filter blockage will reduce the operational efficiency. We recommend a clean air filter at least twice a month. Pull out the air filter and clean the filter by vacuum. If serious blockage of the air filter occurs, clean the filter with neutral detergent and warm water. Wash and dry the air filter, then reinstall it to its original position.

Condenser cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces operational efficiency, and causes higher-than-recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. We recommend cleaning the condenser at least every six months.

• Remove the screw at the bottom of the front cover. Gently put off the front louver.
• Remove dirt and lint from the condenser fan and the unit compartment with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Reassemble the front cover and reconnect the power.

Ice making system
Minerals that are removed from the water during the freezing cycle will eventually form hard, scaly deposits in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. We recommend regular cleaning of the ice maker’s water system, although this unit has an automatic cleaning function.

Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to speed up defrosting. Damage to the evaporator may result. Preparing the ice maker for a long

storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or it is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to drain the system of water.

• Turn the control switch to the “off” position and unplug the ice maker or disconnect the power.
• shut off the water supply and remove the water inlet pipe.
• Remove all ice from the storage bin and clean the bin.
• Disconnect the silicone hose to discharge water from the water tank, and reconnect the hose after the water drains completely.
• Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
