1. Powering on
Switch on the power to the icemaker by pressing the power button on the display. Turn on
the tap and water supply valve. Fill the icemaker sink with water.
2. Water pressure balancing
Upon first use, the icemaker will then automatically go through a process using the water
supply, water pump and pre-installed drain valve to balance the water pressure in the
machine. This process will take around 5 minutes. Usually, the machine is connected to
the power source continually.
3. Icemaking
The water pump will start pumping water through the icemaker into the evaporator to
form the mould of the ice cubes. The condenser will pump refrigerant to cool the water
down to turn into ice. The sensor inside will detect when the water has frozen to ice, and
regulate the thickness of the ice cubes.
OPERATION
Notes:
•The icemaker will take a few minutes after turning on to start up and prepare for
icemaking.
•For the fastest results, ensure the door is closed during the icemaking process.
•The fan will start and stop intermittently to regulate the condenser’s
temperature during the icemaking process.
•During first use, the icemaker may take longer to form ice cubes due to the
higher temperature in the water inlet.
Notes:
•If the main power switch is kept on the icemaker, this pressure balancing
process will occur after every 30 icemaking cycles.
•If the main power switch is turned off, this pressure balancing process will begin
every time the machine is first turned on and filled with water.

10
4. Ice release
Once the ice cubes are ready, the water pump will stop. The water supply valve will open
and any remaining water will go into the sink.
The condenser will then start a heating process to release the ice cubes from the mould.
This process will take around 2 minutes, following which the ice cubes will drop into the
cabinet.
The ice cubes will hit the sensor located the right side of the retaining board to signal for a
new icemaking cycle to begin. Water will then start pumping back into the icemaker to
make more ice.
After every four ice making cycles, ensure to drain the water out of the sink.
Ice can also be made using the manual operation mode button on the display. Refer to the
“Display” section below for details.
Note:
If the cabinet is full of ice cubes, ice cubes may become stuck between the retaining
board and evaporator, causing the retaining board to move away from its original
position and stop the machine from making ice.
Remove the stuck ice cubes to allow the retaining board to return to its original
position. The machine should resume icemaking.
