USING YOUR ICE MAKER

You must read all instructions carefully before using this appliance.

• Unpack the appliance, then check and make sure that all the accessories including ice basket and ice scoop etc. are complete. Please contact with the client service department if some accessories are missed.

• Please ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid malfunction.

• The incline angle of the ice maker cabinet should not exceed 45°during transportation or use.

• IMPORTANT Do not turn the Ice Maker upside down.
  Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. Please allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle after the ice maker is moved or transported. Before using the ice maker for the first time, please wait for 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in the proper place.

• The appliance must be placed on a dry and level surface with enough ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases. Leave an about 8-inch clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.

• Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the ice maker. It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.

• Do not use the appliance at a very cold environment (lower than 5℃).

TO USE YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Ensure that the drain plug at the bottom of water reservoir is closed well.

2. Plug the ice maker into the wall outlet, the “POWER” indicator blinks.
   Note : Please make the ice maker be rested for 30 minutes before plug if it has been moved.

3. Open the top lid and remove the ice basket.

4. Fill the water reservoir with drinking water.
   Note : Do not fill above the MAX water level mark.

5. Replace the ice basket and close the top lid.

6. Press the “ON/OFF” button and the “POWER” indicator lights solidly.

7. The ice-making cycle will last approximately 8-15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.

8. The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice tray situated below the evaporator. Over the next 8-15 minutes ice forms on the evaporator. Once this has completed, the ice tray will tilt backwards and the remaining water in the ice tray is drained back into the water reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel. The ice tray will automatically move back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.

9. The “ICE FULL” indicator will light up when the ice basket is full, and the ice maker will stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. About 5 seconds later, the ice maker will restart its ice making function automatically.

10. The “ADD WATER” indicator will light up when the water reservoir is lack of water and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. At that time, remove the ice basket and add water to the water reservoir, and then press “ON/OFF” button again to restart the ice-making cycle.

11. When you have got your desired amount of ice, stop the ice making cycle by press the “ON/OFF” button and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

12. Open the top lid and transfer the ice to a freezer.

13. Allow the ice maker to reach room temperature.

14. Suggest replacing the water every time on first start of Ice-making. Please empty the water reservoir if the ice maker is not used for a long time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker looking great, we recommend cleaning your ice maker once per week.

1. Stop the ice-making cycle by press the “ON/OFF” button, unplug the ice maker from the wall outlet and allow it to cool down to room temperature.

2. If residual water is found in the ice tray, gently push the ice tray back so that all water drains into the water reservoir.

3. Move the appliance forward to a position 75mm away from the working table and open the drain plug to drain out excess water. (see Fig.1, Fig.2 and Fig.3)

4. Remove the ice basket.

5. Clean the ice maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar, then rinse with clean water and then drain all the water.

6. Replace the drain plug well in position. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.

7. Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild dishwashing soap.
   Note:
   a) Do not use organic solvent, boiled water, detergent, strong acid and strong alkali etc. for cleaning.
   b) Do not clean the evaporator.

8. Please empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage if the ice maker is not used for a long time.
