2. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, or the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Reuse the machine after being idle for a while, it may not be able to pump enough water up for air blockage. In this case, the water shortage indicator sign is displayed, just repress the START/STOP button to restart the ice maker.
4. To ensure the cleanness of ice, please change the water of the water reservoir at least once a day. If do not use it for a long time, please drain the water out and clean it up.
5. If the compressor does not work due to the lack of water, ice full, power failure, etc, it will delay for 3 minutes to start again after being restarted.
6. Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
7. According to the actual use of the machine, the filter screen in the water tank shall be regularly cleaned after disassembly to prevent the water inlet from being blocked by an incrustation scale. As shown in the figure below, take out the ice collecting tray and filter cover from the water tank in turn, clean the filter cover with clean water and a brush, and then put it back in place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Please note, that if a power failure occurs due to the disconnection of the power cord, or the power button has been pushed off 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 can be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet removing the ice chips, and restarting it at last.
2. Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can not remove the ice from the ice collecting tray. If not, please push the ice shovel gently with your finger, then press the START/STOP button to restart.
