DANGER
1. Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Check that ice basket and ice scoop is included.
If any parts are missing, please contact our customer service.
2. Clean the interior with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Take out the ice basket and clean it
3. Place your ice maker on a level surface where is protected from direct sunlight and other
sources of heat (i.e.: stove, furnace, and radiator). Make sure that there is at least 6 inches of
space between the back and sides of your ice maker and the wall.
4. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging ice maker in.
5. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
* Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the
power cord is damaged, please call our customer service.
1. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to
minimize the possibility of electric shock.
2. Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician.
3. This appliance requires a standard 110-120volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground.
Clean it thoroughly before you use it for the first time.
Make sure the unit is unplugged before attempting to clean and allow it to warm up to room
temperature.
1. Take out the ice basket.
2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.
3. Rinse the inside part and drain out water through the draining port by unplugging the drain
cap on the back.
4. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and
warm water.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
6. When the machine is not in use for a long time, open the water drain cap to drain water
completely out from the water tank.
CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER

To maintain maximum efficiency and to prevent bacterial growth, we suggest
you clean your unit regularly, especially the water pipe and water filters.
1. If there is no water flowing down but you can still hear the compressor and water pump are
working, the water pipe is probably
blocked. To clean it up, turn off the unit
first and then remove it from the unit.
Clean each hole on the pipe wall as
shown in the right picture. After cleaning
it up, make sure it’s replaced correctly
and the right end is connected to the
silicone pipe.
2. For both of the water tank and the big water reservoir, clean them with diluted detergent,
warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse the inside and drain out the water from the draining port
by unplugging the drain cap on the back. It will help you keep the unit and ice-cube clean and
maintain its efficiency.
3. If you find there are ice left in evaporator and cannot be removed easily, press and hold the
power button for more than 5 seconds to activate ice dumping mode. The whole process
might take 1-3 minutes.
How to drain out the water from the internal tank and big water reservoir
completely
To drain out the water from both the big water tank and inner tank, unplug your unit and remove
the cap of the Water Outlet.

2. Turn “ON”：
Operation Panel and Display Area
A. Plug the Ice Maker into the outlet, the Power
Indicator and will turn on and flash. The water
tank starts filling the inner tank under the ice basket until
it reaches required water level, and symbol turns off.
Press Power Button (ON/OFF) on the operation panel to
start making ice. During ice making process, stays
on, ice making symbol zooms, and the current
ambient temperature is shown on the upper left of the
display. For example, ”25” indicates that the current ambient temperature is 25 degrees
Celsius. After a few minutes of ice making, the number in Time Indicator starts to flash,
indicating the remaining time for this ice making cycle. For example, a flashing number “8”
means it will take 8 minutes to finish the ice making.
B. It starts dumping ice after this ice making cycle finishes. The ice making symbol flashes,
and the inner tank begins to replenish till the set value, then begins the next ice making
cycle. Symbol lights up if there is insufficient water in tank, and the machine stops
working. Add water, turn on the machine and you can continue making ice.
C. Each ice making cycle lasts about 15-25 minutes. It varies according to the ambient
temperature and water temperature. The duration especially lasts longer when you use it
for the first time, or the water temperature is high.
D. Adjustment of ice thickness: During the ice making cycle, the thickness of the ice cube is
can be adjusted by pressing “+” and “—” on the operation panel. The default figure at the
lower right of the display for ice making time is "0". Each time you press "+", the duration
adds 1 minute, and the ice cube will be thicker. The maximum time can be added is 6
minutes. The actual duration will be displayed in the lower right corner of the display. Each

3. Shutdown
During the ice making process, press the "ON/OFF" button on the operation panel to shut
down the machine and it enters standby mode. Press and hold the "ON/OFF" button for more
than 5 seconds during ice making cycle, the machine goes to the dumping process. This
function helps to remove ice from the icing pan. Press the "ON/OFF" button again and the
machine will shut down.
4. Timer Setting
Setting range: 1-24 hours
Regular shutdown: Schedule an auto shutdown during the ice making cycle.
Regular start: Schedule a startup on standby mode.
A. How to set the timer
Press the “TIMER” button on the operation panel, a flashing number “1H” appears at the
bottom right of the display, and then press “+” or “-” button to adjust the time you need. Each
press adds or reduces 1 hour. The letter “H” flashes while you’re adjusting time, and stops
flashing after the setting is done for 5 seconds. The “H” in the display indicates that the
machine is currently is on timer function. It starts counting down until the number turns to 0.

silicone plug and drain nut after draining out the water.
Good hygiene is important for staying healthy. Please change water every 24 hours and clean
the water tank and inner tank every 3 days.
WARNINGS
A. Make sure the water tank, water filter and the water separator pipe are cleaned regularly.
Blockage may lead to poor performance of the unit.
B. Water temperature will affect the performance of ice making. The lower the temperature is,
the more ice cube produce.
C. Ambient temperature will affect the performance of ice making. The cooler the ambient
temperature is, the more ice cube produce.
D. Good quality water ensures a proper performance and relatively longer operational life.
Purified water and distilled water are recommended. Bad quality water will not affect the
working of the unit, but it might be noisy while making ice.
E. There will be a three-minute delay if the compressor restarts.
