Warning: Do not pour the water into the internal water tank located underneath
the ice basket. This tank is not big enough andwill effect the ice making
performance.
2. When you plug the unit, the power symbol< > will flash. Press the <ON/OFF>button, the
unit will start making ice cube, ice making symbol< > will keep running. The left up corner
of display area will show the ambient temp,i.e:80℉means the ambient temp is 80℉.After
several mins, this area will show flash number, the ice making will countdown,i.e:10M means
the ice making will finish 10 mins later.
3. When ice maker harvest,symbol< > flash, the water will flow from top water reservoir to
bottom water tank through solenoid valve,the symbol < > will be on ,when the water in the
bottom water tank is full,the symbol < > will be off,then the next ice making cycle start
again.When there is no water in the water reservoir, the symbol < > will keep on. Turn off
the unit and fill water again, then restart the unit to make ice cube. Or fill water directly and
wait 20mins,the unit will restart .
Remark: The ice making cycle lasts about 13 to 25 minutes,depending on the ambient
temperature. And for the first time,according to the initial water temperature,ice-making

vary a lot, but it will not exceed 35 minutes.
If you think the ice cube is not thick enough, during ice making,press the <+> and <-> to
set the ice making lead time. Press one time and the ice making cycle will increase or
reduce one min, 6min most. This can only start from the new cycle.
4. When Ice Full symbol< > is on, the unit will stop, take out the ice cube inside, the unit will
