2.  Place the ice maker in a firm and flat position. Adjust the height of the feet to make the ice maker level.
3.  The ice maker is not suitable for outdoor use. The normal use environment temperature is between 10°( ~ 38°(, and the water temperature is between 5°( ~ 30°(High temperature will seriously reduce ice production.
4. The ice maker should not be installed environment without a drainage system, and strictly forbidden to put it alongside temperature equipment (such as refrigerators and ovens).
5. The air-cooled ice maker relies on air circulation to dissipate heat. Therefore, it is necessary to reserve a space of more than 20cm in the front and back to facilitate heat dissipation.

Self-contained Machine Installation

1.  The ice maker must use sanitary drinking water at room temperature. The water supply pressure should be controlled between 0.1-0.63MPa.
2. the ice maker relies on gravity to drain, so it is necessary to ensure that the drain pipe has a sufficient slope and drop.
3.  The supplied water filter is only suitable for machine testing. The filter is disposable and is replaced regularly according to local water quality.
4.  The connector on the filter needs to be removed with a special tool.                    

There is a pump on the right, no pump on the left The direction with protrusions is the direction of water inflow, the direction without protrusions is the direction of water      

Water tank cleaning
If there is an impurity scale in the water, the ice maker will deposit the scale inside after a period of use, which will affect the color, quality and taste of the ice. If it is not handled in time, the machine will not work normally. The serious scale in the water tank will make the pump impeller stuck, resulting in the internal water circulation of the machine. At this time, the power needs to be cut off, and the water pump is taken out for disassembly and cleaning.
