greater than 45 Degree.
2. Place the Ice Station at up-right position. Keep the unit at least 20CM apart from the wall around
for better ventilation and operation.
3. Wash the Water Tank; Cooling System, Ice Cube Tray; Ice Shovel of the Ice Station with washing
detergent before each use.
4. Open the Lip Cover, fill the Water Tank with drinking water. When adding water, make sure the
water level does not exceed the maximum water level of the Water Tank. If you use the external
Water Pipe for adding water, make sure the Water Pipe is firmly connected with the In Coming
Water Inlet, open the tap and check to ensure no water leaking in the conjunction part before use.

the flowing water temperature reach zero degree, the water become frozen, the indicated size will
blink. Ice cubes making are now in progress.
10. When the ice cubes are formed completely, the indicated size will blink more frequently, 36 pieces
of ice cubes will fall into the Ice Cube Tray automatically for each cycle. Once all ice cubes are
shoveled, the ice cube making cycle starts again.

Maintenance
1. Always keep the unit stand still at up-right position while moving to avoid causing damage to the
compressor of the unit.
2. Plug the unit into a power outlet alone. Make sure your electricity supply is 187-242V~50Hz, the
current is 10A.
3. To disconnect the power, grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never drag the cord. If the
power cord is damaged, bring it to the service centre for replacement.
4. The unit should be placed vertically. Do not place the unit near flammable items or fire source.
Keep at least 20cm distance from the surroundings for better ventilation and operation.
5. Initially when switching “On” the unit, it will takes sometimes before water is cooling down to zero
degree. Duration of ice cube making will be prolonged if adding more water.
6. If the water level is lower than the minimum water level of the Water Tank, the “Lack Water”
indicator will light, indicating manual water filling is required. If using external water inlet pipe for
water supply, the “Lack Water” indicator will blink, indicating water filling starts automatically.
7. Use only drinking water to make the ice cube. Never use dirty water as it may damage your health.
Clean the unit frequently after each usage.
8. Clean the water ejector if water is not flowing well.

We recommend decalcifying the machine approximately every 3
months, depending on the calcification of the water you use.
While doing so, the machine will be cleaned at the same time.
Please be sure to only use decalcification liquid such as
“Sidolin”. Fill the tank with a small amount of water and add
decalcification liquid. Now perform approximately two ice cube
making processes. When finished, drain the remaining water
out of the machine and fill the tank with a small amount of just
water, not calcification fluid and perform two ice cube making
processes again. Once completed, the machine can be used
again. During the first practice of decalcification, the machine
should be turned on only for a short amount of time before it will
be switched off for one hour in order for the decalcification liquid
to have effect.
