Keep Upright: Place on level surface only, skewed placement may damage the refrigeration system.
Keep Cool: Operation in ambient temperature beyond the limits listed in this manual (Refer
to page 6) may result in severe damage which is not covered by warranty.
Provide Shade: Heat from the sun will reduce the unit’s ability to make and store ice. UV
radiation can potentially damage the plastic components.
Outdoor Use Notice
Do not, under any circumstances, remove the ground prong from the power cord or use an
adaptor that prevents it from functioning. For personal safety, this unit must be properly
grounded.
The appliance should not be plugged into a 2-prong outlet, it is user’s responsibility and obligation to
replace it with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not plug or unplug the unit with wet hand.
Grounding is to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard. The power cord of this appliance
is equipped with a 3-prong plug which mates with a standard 3-prong wall outlet. Have your wall
outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure it’s properly grounded.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that are frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that has cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
The unit should always be plugged into its rated source, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. This
helps the machine to provide the best performance and also prevents overloading wiring
circuits which could potentially cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

- Press and hold for 3 seconds to enter self-cleaning program.
It’s normal for the ice maker to generate some heat during working, especially when it has kept
working for a long time.
5.Heat Generation
4.Sounds Made by Ice Maker
The ice maker is designed to work quietly but will make some sounds during operation.
3.Water Flowing During Ice Making
Every time the ice maker starts making ice or water is refilled.Water flows through the ice
chute into water reservoir, this is to cool the water. Water will stop flowing when its
temperature is low enough to form ice.
2.Time of Ice Making
Time of ice making is affected by the ambient and water temperature. (Refer to page 6 for
temperature range.) The first ice comes out between 15 and 30 minutes. Usually, it takes 3-4
hours to fill the ice basket.
Every Gevi Ice Maker goes through a running test before leaving the plant, so it’s normal to
find water residue in water reservoir or drain hoses. Run self-cleaning program twice with
fresh water before first use.

Before First Use
3.The incline angle should not exceed 45° when moving. Turning upside down is strictly
forbidden. Doing so can cause damage to the compressor or refrigerating system.
4.Keep the environment dry and stay away from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and
corrosive gases. Maintain at least 6 inches clearance on all sides of the ice maker for
ventilation.
1.Unpack and check if all the items (Refer to page 3) are available. Please contact Gevi Customer
Service if anything is missing.
2.Ensure the ice maker stands upright on the level surface. After the jolt of transport, keep the
ice maker still for 2 hours before plugging in.
5.The ice maker should operate between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C). Use water with a
temperature between 46°F (8°C) and 82°F (28°C) for ice making or cleaning. Exceeding the
limit may result in severe damage which is not covered by the warranty.
6.Clean your ice maker and accessories. Add water to the reservoir, run self-cleaning program
twice with fresh water, and then drain it out through the drain hoses.

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5
After fully drained, seal back the drain hoses and hang them up at the back of your ice maker.
Take the drain hoses off and put them in a sink or a bucket. Make sure that the end of the
hoses are lower than the bottom of the ice maker. 
Remove the drain cap. The drain hoses will drain the water by themselves. 
2.Drain Water
·
·
·
Manually add water by pouring potable water
into the water reservoir. Do not exceed the
“Max” water line.
Automatically add water by connecting tap
water with the 10ft 1/4” hose (included in the
package). Insert one end of it into the water
inlet and connect the other end to water tap
through a faucet adapter (excluded from the
package). Water refill will stop if you turn off
the machine, or open and close the lid. 

Remember to keep the environment dry and
stay away from heat sources such as ovens,
heaters and corrosive gases.
The ice maker generates some heat while it
is working, so a 6-inch clearance on all sides
3.Heat Dissipation
Magnetic switch in the lid works for the below two scenarios.
Scenario 2. The ice maker stops ice making when the water is not enough , it will not
continue to make ice until there’s enough water. When you open and close the lid, the
magnetic switch triggers water level detection. If there’s enough water for ice making, the
machine will resume ice making. Otherwise, the indicator of lights up again. Be aware
that if you connect the ice maker to a water supply, the action of opening and closing the lid
will trigger the magnetic switch to stop auto water refill and restart ice making.
4.Magnetic Switch
Short press “On/Off” button to turn off the ice maker. The machine will continue to work for
an extra 30-60s to remove the remaining ice from internal components, and it will
automatically stop working when the process is completed. The indicator keeps flashing
unless the ice maker is unplugged.
Note: When unplugging the ice maker, empty the ice basket to avoid overflow of water from
melted ice.
5.Turn Off the Ice Maker
Figure 6
Scenario 1. The ice maker stops ice making when the indicator is on.When you open and
close the lid, the magnetic switch triggers ice making. If the ice full infrared sensor (refer to
page 4) detects that the ice is not full, the machine continues ice making. Otherwise, the
indicator of lights up again. This is designed to save energy in case the ice melts and the
machine restarts making ice constantly but no one is around.

Ice Making
Heat insulation layer used for housing only helps slow down the melting of ice. The rate of melting
depends on ambient temperature. It's recommended to transfer ice to freezer for longer storage.
When the machine stops ice making triggered by , it will not continue to make ice until the ice is
fully/partially removed, or the lid is opened and closed. This is designed to save energy in case ice
melts and machine restarts making ice but no one is around.
Remember to take out the ice scoop before making ice to avoid it being covered by the ice.
If the ice maker is not to be used for some time, empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage.
The ice maker is designed to work quietly but will make some noise during operation.

reservoir, then close the lid. Be careful not to
exceed the “Max” water line.If it’s the first
time using this ice maker, read instructions
of “Before First Use” on page 6.
5.Wait for 15-30 minutes to enjoy fresh
nugget ice. Note that time of first ice is
affected by the ambient temperature and
water temperature.(Refer to page 6 for
temperature range.)
2.Plug into a 120V/60Hz wall outlet. Check
if the indicator flashes.
The indicator glows white solidly.
