choose small ice. When the indoor temperature is higher than 30
degrees, it is recommended to choose big ice.
2. The three cycles used for the first time, the ice produced is small
and irregular.
3. When the ice basket is full, please take out the ice immediately, do
not let the ice overflow the ice basket
CLEANING & USE GUIDANCE
1. Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel
and evaporator frequently. When cleaning, unplug the unit and
remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and
vinegar to clean the inside and the outside surface of the Ice
maker. Do not spray Ice maker with chemicals or diluted agents
such as acids, gasoline or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.
2. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, or in 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 idled for a period of time, it may
not have enough water to pump for air retard, in this case, the
water shortage indicator “ADD WATER”will light up, repress
power button to restart the ice maker is okay.
4. To ensure the cleanness of ice, please change water for water
reservoir at least once one day. If do not use for a long time,
please drain the water out and clean it up.

5. If the compressor takes a strike action for shortage water, fully
water or interruption of power supply, it will delay for 3mins to
start up after restarted.
6. Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at
initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the
power cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice
making cycle, small ice chips may formed and lodge in the
automatic shovel causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may
be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing
the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips,
then restarting.
2. Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can
not remove the ice to ice basket. If not, please push the ice shovel
gently by finger, then press “ON/OFF”button to restart.
